It's been reported that Kim Manners, a prolific, highly imaginative director and producer of TV shows including Supernatural and The X Files, died on Sunday. The cause was cancer.

Manners was among the people who helped Supernatural creator Eric Kripke define the invitingly dark visual palette of Supernatural; he directed numerous episodes of the series, including every season finale--crucial entries in the series that set up cliffhangers which moved the mythology of the series forward.

For The X Files, Manners was credited as a producer for some of that series' greatest episodes, including the Emmy-winning "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" and "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose," and directed such memorable entries as the creepy-funny "Leonard Betts."

Manners was a subtle artist working in a commercial medium that doesn't always prize such qualities. (Manners also directed a number of episodes of the terrific 1993-94 cult series The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.) He was lucky to have found sympathetic creators to collaborate with, such as Kripke and X Files' Chris Carter. And they were lucky to work with him.

I think she worked on Charlie's Angels, too. May she :rip:.

OOOOPS...I read it too fast. :o But I still feel sad to hear the news.

Ooh I didn't know that. I barely know who he is but I sure have noticed his name on every episode.
