Round 3: Tossup 10

It’s not Ken Loach, but cinematographer Barry Ackroyd’s films for this director include one in which he cast Ben Sliney as himself. As a journalist, this director co-wrote Peter Wright’s book Spycatcher. This director hired four of the lead actors for one of his films, including a former limousine driver, from a single casting call in Minneapolis. This director (15[1])cast a real EMT for a scene in which that film’s protagonist breaks down in tears after saying “that’s not mine,” in reference to (*) blood on his torso. The protagonist ignites a toaster using a rolled-up magazine in a 2004 film by this director whose final line is “get some rest Pam; you look tired.” In a 2013 film by this director, Barkhad Abdi improvised the line “Look at me — I’m the captain now.” For 10 points, name this director who used a “shaky-cam” style in United 93, two Bourne films, and Captain Phillips. ■END■ (0[1])
