Bob Balaban’s resume is like a mash-up of several people, all of them industrious and bursting with diverse creative skills.
His latest directorial effort is “Bernard and Doris,” an unusual romance about a modern-day pauper and princess. Starring Ralph Fiennes and Susan Sarandon. It premieres Feb. 9 in Canada at 7 p.m. PT on Movie Central and 9 p.m. ET on The Movie Network.
But Balaban is also the author of the popular “McGrowl” children’s novels. He produced the acclaimed Robert Altman film “Gosford Park,” which won an Oscar and was nominated for seven.
