Andy Tennant

Tennant has directed some of the most successful romantic comedies of all time, including HITCH, starring Will Smith, and SWEET HOME ALABAMA, starring Reese Witherspoon.

He co-wrote and directed the comedy FOOLS RUSH IN, starring Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek, and the romantic fable EVERAFTER, with Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Huston, as well as the epic drama ANNA AND THE KING, starring Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat.

His two action comedies, FOOL’S GOLD, starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, which he also co-wrote, and THE BOUNTY HUNTER, starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, brought his total worldwide box office over a billion dollars.

His last three independent features, UNIT 234, starring Isabelle Furhman and Don Johnson, THE SECRET, based on Rhonda Byrne’s international best-seller, starring Katie Holmes, and WILD OATS, starring Shirley MacLaine and Jessica Lange, are all currently streaming on Netflix and Apple TV.

Andy spent three years directing and executive-producing Chuck Lorre’s Emmy-nominated Netflix comedy, THE KOMINSKY METHOD, starring Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin.

Then joined Chuck again to direct and executive produce BOOKIE for HBO Max, starring one of America’s most successful comedians, Sebastian Maniscalco.

A native of Chicago, Tennant’s first job in the movie business was as a dancer in the blockbuster musical, “Grease,” before directing such hit television shows as THE WONDER YEARS and SLIDERS.

He lives in the Hudson Valley with his wife, Sharon Johnson-Tennant, a photographer, and has four children; three of whom are triplets.
