TERRY GILLIAM – 80 YEARS OLD

Another former member of the Monty Python comedy troupe is Terry Gilliam. He is a director, screenwriter, animator, actor, and comedian. Throughout his career, he has directed 13 feature films from the 1980s to the late 2000s. He helmed Tim Bandits, Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and The Fisher King, among others.

At 79, Gilliam has no plans to retire yet. In 2010, news broke that he was about to “godfather” the movie 1884, a parody of George Orwell’s classic novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Gilliam then wrote Mr. Vertigo‘s screenplay with Paul Auster in 2001 and would later on pen and lead another Mr. Vertigo movie in 2018. He also got his first animated movie credit in a feature film headed by the studio Laika. Evidently a flexible creative, Gilliam has done so many roles in film production. He is surely well-versed and is successful because of all his skills and know-how. He knows his craft by heart and is continuing to do good work because of it.
