Dwight Hubbard Little (born January 13, 1956) is an American film and television director, known for directing the films Marked for Death, Rapid Fire, Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, Murder at 1600 and Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. He has also directed several episodes of acclaimed television series such as 24, Prison Break, Dollhouse, Bones and Nikita. Little was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He studied film at USC.

Career Dwight Little graduated from the University of Southern California. He got his first break in the film business when producer Sandy Howard asked him to shoot additional material for Triumphs of a Man Called Horse. Howard needed the film to be longer in order to be able to sell it overseas. When Little was finished, Howard asked him to make him an action film for the video market. Little made KGB: The Secret War for a budget of $300,000. From that film, Little edited a show-reel that got him the attention of several members of the Hunt-Hill family from Texas who asked him to make an action film. This became Getting Even. According to Little, the film was devised around everything the family members owned: helicopters, a ranch, a Learjet. Little was then asked by Nico Mastorakis to direct the action adventure film Bloodstone in India. Rex Reed of The Observer called the film "grim and hopelessly despondent, but superbly acted and strangely effective." Little himself called it "the most honest" of his films. 1989 The Phantom of the Opera 1990 Marked for Death 1992 Rapid Fire 1995 Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home 1996 Broken Arrow Directed by John Woo 1997 Murder at 1600 2004 Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid 2010 Tekken 2017 Last Rampage 2023 Natty Knocks Television TV movies Papa's Angels (2000) Boss of Bosses (2001) Home by Spring (2018)
