Former The West Wing director Thomas Schlamme has been elected president of the Directors Guild Of America.
The TV legend was handed the guild’s Robert B. Aldrich Achievement Award for extraordinary service earlier this year (17), and now he’s in charge of the organisation.
“It is a tremendous honour to be chosen by my peers to lead our guild, and I greatly look forward to taking on the challenges facing our membership and industry,” Schlamme said.
Meanwhile, filmmakers Betty Thomas, Jon Favreau, and Ron Howard have been voted second, third and fourth vice-presidents, respectively, and board members now include Michael Mann, Christopher Nolan, and Steven Spielberg.
