Hollywood director Phillip Noyce is famous for his movies "Salt", "The Bone Collector" and "The Quiet”.
He began his career back in the ‘70s as a director of little-seen but widely acclaimed films. Then came 1989’s DEAD CALM, which made a star out of Nicole Kidman, an unknown name and earned Noyce a firm place in Hollywood. He spent the next decade grinding out big-budget films, including the Tom Clancy adaptation PATRIOT GAMES and CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER—movies widely seen but little acclaimed.
With the release of Rabbit-Proof Fence and now The Quiet American, Noyce is suddenly back. Due to his work on those films, he was recently named 2002's Best Director by the National Board of Review and his Quiet American star Michael Caine has been nominated for a Golden Globe.
