GoT, Westworld DP Robert McLachlan on Filming Androids, the Red Wedding and a "Major" New Action Scene

When I get on the phone with veteran cinematographer Robert McLachlan, he’s standing on Stage 15 at Sony, taking a break from shooting the fifth season of Showtime’s Ray Donovan, set to premiere in August.

An amateur photographer and home movie-maker, as well as a commercial artist and painter—McLachlan’s father encouraged him to do what he loved. And so, he got into filmmaking.

The Emmy-nominated McLachlan has worked in both movies and television, making a name for himself on shows such as MacGyver, The Commish, Millennium and movies such as The Golden Compass, Willard and Final Destination 3. But he’s best known for his work on HBO’s Game of Thrones and Westworld.
