Jay Roach

Director

Jay Roach (born June 14, 1957) is an American film and television director and producer, known for comedies such as the Austin Powers series and Meet the Parents, and for political/biographical TV films and movies including Recount, Game Change and Trumbo.

Has received Primetime Emmy Awards for his television films.

The available review examines Jay Roach's Trumbo (L'ultima parola) as a portrait of Dalton Trumbo's resistance to the Hollywood blacklist. It foregrounds Trumbo's activism, family life and obsession with writing, and frames the blacklist as a period of victims rather than heroes. The reviewer highlights historical context and key scenes that convey the era's moral complexity.
