Nickname:	The World's Lousiest Director; The Scapegoat
Known for:	An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn, Hellraiser: Bloodline, Catchfire

The DGA decided that the name got so much exposure from the film _Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn, An (1997)_ that it was no longer an effective alias. The film Supernova was the first "post-Smithee" film; Smithee's successor is as yet unclear, but one possibility from this film is "Thomas Lee." The name given by directors who disown their films for any reason. "Alan Smithee" is an anagram for "The Alias Men" Directors are still allowed to use other pseudonyms, as are authors, but that pseudonym, such as those used by Nathan Juran and David DeCoteau, are theirs, and a method of detachment rather than disownership.
