Biografia
Scott Hornbacher is a producing director and four-time Emmy winner, acclaimed for his work on the groundbreaking TV series Mad Men and The Sopranos.
As Executive Producer of Mad Men, Hornbacher earned over 20 industry accolades, including three Producers Guild Awards. Beyond producing, he directed nine episodes of Mad Men, such as the memorable acid trip installment "Far Away Places" and the season openers "The Doorway (Parts 1 & 2)," "Time Zones," and "Severance."
He also held the roles of Executive Producer and Producing Director for Amazon's The Last Tycoon, adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished final novel. The series starred a distinguished cast, including Matt Bomer, Kelsey Grammer, Lily Collins, Dominique McElligott, and Rosemarie DeWitt. Later, Hornbacher reunited with The Last Tycoon showrunner Billy Ray as Consulting Producer on Showtime's limited series The Comey Rule, based on James Comey's memoir A Higher Loyalty.
Additional directing credits include "YumTime," an episode of Showtime's drama Billions (featuring Paul Giamatti, Damian Lewis, Maggie Siff, and Malin Akerman), and an episode of the CBS drama Conviction starring Hayley Atwell.
Most recently, Hornbacher served as Executive Producer and Producing Director for Season 1 of Netflix's 1990-set drama series The Corps. Inspired by Greg Cope White's memoir The Pink Marine, the show follows a bullied gay high school student who impulsively enlists in the Marine Corps alongside his straight best friend—a risky choice during a time when being openly gay in the military involved severe repercussions.
