He has showcased his versatility by venturing into directing and producing, demonstrating a keen eye for detail and storytelling. His directorial debut came with the black comedy Bad Words in 2013. Since then, he has helmed several episodes of television shows including Arrested Development and Ozark, the latter earning him an Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. A staunch advocate for education, Bateman completed his General Educational Development (GED) after dropping out of high school to focus on his acting career. His journey from child star to respected actor, director, and producer is a testament to his resilience, adaptability, and undying love for his craft.
