F. Gary Gray Biography

A renowned film director, producer, and music video director, F. Gary Gray's work spans various genres, from action-packed films to thoughtful dramas. His ability to craft compelling stories has made him one of Hollywood's most sought-after directors.

Gary first gained recognition in the early 1990s for directing iconic music videos, including Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" and TLC's "Waterfalls." He made his feature film directorial debut with the 1995 cult classic "Friday," a comedy starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. The film's success launched Gray into the spotlight, marking the beginning of a successful career in Hollywood.

Gray continued his rise with films like "Set It Off," a heist drama centered on four women, and "The Negotiator," a critically acclaimed thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. His versatility as a director was further showcased with box office hits such as "The Italian Job" and the biographical drama "Straight Outta Compton," which chronicled the rise of the rap group N.W.A. The latter earned significant praise for its direction and cultural impact, leading to Academy Award nominations.

Gray also directed "The Fate of the Furious," the eighth installment of the "Fast & Furious" franchise, which became a global blockbuster, grossing over $1 billion worldwide. Additionally, he directed the 2019 film "Men in Black: International," the sequel to the popular "Men in Black" movies, and most recently, the Kevin Hart-led comedy heist "Lift."

Gray is also a leading member of his community and has been an active supporter of numerous organizations which include the Tom Bradley Youth & Family Center, My Friend’s House Foundation, and Urban Compass, among others. He has received multiple commendations from the city of Los Angeles for his Philanthropic work. Gray is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
