Lawrence Sher

Lawrence Sher reunites with Todd Phillips on "Due Date," having previously collaborated on the Golden Globe-winning blockbuster comedy "The Hangover." His work will next be seen in Greg Mottola's sci-fi comedy "Paul," with Jason Bateman and Seth Rogan, and David Frankel's comedy "The Big Year," based on Mark Obmascik's book and starring Owen Wilson, both releasing in 2011. Sher's other recent credits include "I Love You, Man," "Trucker," "The Promotion," "Dan in Real Life," "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "The Chumscrubber." He worked as director of photography on several smaller films and music videos earlier in his career, coming to the fore in 2001 with the award-winning independent film "Kissing Jessica Stein," followed by director Zach Braff's "Garden State."

Born and raised in New York City, Sher studied economics at Wesleyan University where, in his junior year, he turned an interest in still photography into a fascination with motion pictures. Upon graduation, he moved to Los Angeles and began his career as a camera assistant.
