He left school to become a cartoonist for the "Toronto Star" and then served as a photographer for a number of small-town newspapers.  This led to work in film, including a 90-minute documentary on "Penthouse" magazine commissioned by its publisher, Bob Guccione.  His first feature was "The Hard Part Begins", considered to be a classic of early English-Canadian cinema.  This was followed by the box-office hit "Prom Night", a prototypical ‘slasher’ film starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen.  Lynch has only made movies periodically, pursuing instead a career directing for American television.
