William Theodore "Ted" Kotcheff grew up in Toronto and went to the University of Toronto graduating in English Literature just as the television age dawned in Canada. He started his career as a stagehand with CBC Television in 1952 and went on to become the youngest staff director at the CBC, where he eventually worked on programs like the General Motors Theatre. He left Canada in 1958 to live and work in the United Kingdom where he landed a job as a director on the Armchair Theatre series, directing several teleplays between 1958 and 1960. In addition to his television work he also directed several productions for the theatre, and in 1962 directed his first feature film, Tiara Tahiti. He returned to Canada in 1972 directing several films including The Appenticeship of Duddy Kravitz which won the Golden Bear at the Beriln Film Festival. Like many directors, Kotcheff has been known to step in front of the camera including a small role in the 2003 film, Shattered Glass.
