Alex Graves is an American producer and director for film and television. He is best known for his work on the The West Wing, which he worked on as a director, producer and eventually an executive producer. He won two Emmy Awards for his work on that series. He has also worked on Ally MacBeal, Fringe and Terra Nova.
For Game of Thrones, Graves works as a director starting in the third season.[1] He directed four episodes in the fourth season but will be taking a break for the fifth and may return later on.[2] His daily routine for about 100 days during the Season 4 shooting season was to go to wake up at 5 a.m. to get to the set, return to his hotel at 7 p.m., then work there on planning until 2 a.m., catch three hours of sleep, then wake up again at 5 a.m.[3]
He is also known for butchering the source material and admitting to knowing very little about the characters, in both the novels and their adaptation counterparts. He is universally despised by fans, especially for wasting the majority of the budget on a scene with skeletons that did not even make sense, and in turn ruining a massively important scene when Bran finally completes his four season arc and reached the Three Eyed Raven. Because he wasted money, they had to throw this scene together and made it look like crap.[4][5]
