Tony Scott was a British-born film director and producer. He was the youngest of three brothers, one of whom is fellow film director Ridley Scott. He was born in North Shields, Northumberland, England to parents Jean and Colonel Francis Percy Scott. As a result of his father's career in the British military, his family moved around a lot. Their mother loved the going to the movies and instilled a love of cinema in her children. At age 16, Tony made his first appearance on screen as 'the boy' in his brother's directorial debut, the short film Boy and Bicycle (1965). In 1969, Tony directed his own short film One of the Missing (1969) about a soldier in the American civil war.
Tony had a talent for art and painting. He spent a year in Leeds College of Art and Design and went on to study for a fine arts degree at the School of Art at the University of Sunderland. He won a scholarship to study for his Masters of fine arts at the Royal College of Art. Following university, he spent several years as a painter. But life as a painter proved a struggle, so he decided to forge a different career path and partnered with Ridley in advertising at Ridley Scott Associates. It was there that he began shooting commercials. In 1971 he wrote, produced and directed Loving Memory however his vampire movie The Hunger (1983) starring Susan Sarandon, David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve wasn't a critical success but it attracted attention from Hollywood. He was asked by producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer to direct Top Gun (1986) starring Tom Cruise. He would work again with Cruise on another high adrenaline film Days of Thunder (1990), which proved less successful. He followed the success of Top Gun with the sequel Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) with Eddie Murphy, which was well received.
In 1993, he directed True Romance (1993), which was written by emerging director Quentin Tarantino. Scott had a lot of control over the film and received some great reviews.
Tony has worked five times with actor Denzel Washington with Crimson Tide (1995), The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009), Deja Vu (2006), Man on Fire (2004) and Scott's final film in the director's chair Unstoppable (2010).

Hawks followed this with one of the two lead roles in his great Western The Big Sky (1952).

He did, however, become a familiar face on television into the 1970s. He was married to singer Peggy Lee in the late 50s.

Renowned for portraying his witty, stereotypical norteño character named "Piporro" in the Pedro Infante film Ahí viene Martín Corona (1952), Eulalio González quickly became one of the box-office stars of the 1960s and the best norteño comedian ever. Born and raised in northern Mexico, González was the son of customs agent Pablo González Barrera and Elvira Ramírez. During his youth he studied medicine and accounting, though he never sought these professions. His first break came when he working as a radio announcer and popular film actor-singer Pedro Infante invited him to participate in the radio-novela "Martín Corona". The success of the radio-novela spawned a film starring Infante and Sara Montiel with González reprising his role as the comic norteño sidekick. It would not be until the early 1960s when González's popularity grew in both film and music, starring as the leading man in the films The Ship of Monsters (1960), Ruletero a toda marcha (1962), El rey del tomate (1963), El bracero del año (1964), La Valentina (1966), Qué hombre tan sin embargo (1967), and El pistolero desconocido (1967). His quick and inventive humor can be appreciated today in his films, screenplays, and songs.- Additional Crew
