Biography

Egill was born in Reykjavík, Iceland, and studied filmmaking at Columbia College Hollywood, a film school based in Los Angeles. As a cinematographer, he is perhaps best known for his work on *The Wire*, *CSI: Miami* (where he also served as a co-producer), *Dark Blue*, and numerous television commercials and music videos. In 2008, he directed the *Heroes* spin-off miniseries *Heroes: Destiny*.

He has directed episodes of the television series *Dark Blue* and *CSI: Miami*, among others. He has also directed several episodes of The CW action series *Nikita*, for which he has received high praise.

Egill is a four-time nominee for the American Society of Cinematographers Outstanding Achievement Awards, and won the award in the television category in 2010 for the *Dark Blue* episode "Venice Kings," which he also directed. Later that year, he became the first Icelander to be admitted into the ASC.
