Julian Edward Peter Jarrold (born 15 May 1960 in Norwich, Norfolk) is a BAFTA Award-nominated English film and television director.

Career

Jarrold directed Great Expectations, starring Ioan Gruffudd, in 1999. The Boston Globe felt that Jarrold helped distinguish it from the many other adaptations by “keeping the reins in on his characters, emotionally and morally. They are unromanticized and low-key performances that only rarely spill over into the maudlin and righteous.” In 2006, Jarrold directed Kinky Boots. The Chicago Tribune called the film “quite enjoyable, effortlessly well-done on every level, even moving at times, but relatively lightweight.” In 2007, Becoming Jane was released. The Washington Times stated that Jarrold’s direction “has made a witty, beautiful film. His technical achievement is no small matter, with nice, long tracking shots and clever focus tricks.”

The following year, Jarrold directed the first film adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s iconic story Brideshead Revisited, “one of the great English novels which has never been filmed,” according to producer Kevin Loader. It starred Hayley Atwell, Matthew Goode, Emma Thompson, and Michael Gambon. About the novel’s status as an unchangeable classic, Jarrold stated that “there are people who are obsessive and obviously that’s going to be daunting when they come and judge us. I’ve had a few people who have said, ‘Why are you doing it?’ But I think there is a generation who know nothing about Brideshead Revisited, who haven’t read the book or who are only dimly aware of the TV series because it’s been repeated on ITV4 or something.” The Daily Telegraph felt that Jarrold’s “scenes are filled with grand period detail – huge Rolls-Royces, ice sculptures, vast fireplaces of sculptured marble – but he stops it from becoming an overblown, glossy spectacle by making the world around the characters feel like a dream.”

Jarrold directed the HBO film The Girl in 2013. The director received his first Emmy nomination for his work in the film. Mandalay Vision has hired Jarrold to direct the serial killer film Exit 147, with a script written by Travis Milloy. Producer Cathy Schulman and Matthew Rhodes are producing the film for Mandalay. In February 2013, Taylor Kitsch joined the film to play lead as a sadistic sheriff. Most recently Jarrold directed A Royal Night Out for Ecosse Films currently in post-production and due for release in May 2015.

In 2016, Jarrold became a judge at the Norwich Film Festival, while in 2017, he became a patron of the festival.

Personal life

Eddie Sotelo net worth and salary: Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo is a Mexican radio personality who has a net worth of $25 million dollars. At his peak his salary was $5 million per year. Eddie Sotelo was born in Ocotlan, Jalisco. He is one of the most popular Spanish-language radio personalities in the United States. His show, “Piolin por la Manana”, was broadcast on KSCA radio in Southern California and syndicated nationally from 2003 to 2013. The program, which was broadcast entirely in Spanish, earned a 9.9 rating with audiences, earning Piolin the nickname The Howard Stern of Spanish Radio. He was known for focusing on important issues as well as pop culture, and gave four hours of radio time to immigration rights supporters in 2005, and has interviewed multiple important figures, including Michelle Obama. In 2006, the Los Angeles Times named him as one of the “100 Most Powerful People in Southern California”. He is often referred to by his childhood nickname, “Piolin”, which means “tweety bird”. In July of 2013, Univision Radio abruptly cancelled his radio show without explanation. Within a week it was revealed that Sotelo had allegedly been physically, emotionally and sexually harassing a writer/producer from the show named Alberto “Beto” Cortez. In 2014 he launched a new show “El Show de Piolin” on 40 stations through Entravision. Real Estate: In 2006 Eddie paid $5.9 million for a 9,000 square-foot home in Calabasas, California. He rented this home for a time to rapper Tyga. At some point Tyga wracked up around $124,000 in unpaid rent. He was supposed to be paying around $12,000 per month in rent. Tyga was sued but the parties eventually settled the matter out of court. In 2014 Eddie sold the home to hip-hop mogul Anthony Tiffith for $6.7 million. In August 2018, Piolin paid $4.62 million for a new mansion in the same Calabasas gated community as his other house. The seller was NBA star Al Harrington who bought the mansion in 2015 for $3.6 million.
