Gugino may be the bigger name between the two, but Gutierrez is hugely successful in his own right, with a whole bunch of IMDb credits to his name for directing, writing, producing, and more. Gutierrez penned the screenplays for horror movies including Gothika, starring Halle Berry, cult hit Snakes on a Plane, and the remake of The Eye, starring Jessica Alba. As a director, the Venezuelan powerhouse has several interesting projects behind him, including Women in Trouble and Hotel Noir.

Gugino frequently appears in his work, too, beginning with 1998's Judas Kiss, his well-regarded debut that also featured the big-name likes of Emma Thompson and the late Alan Rickman. The movie, a high-stakes kidnapping thriller, took home the Critics Award at the Festival Du Film Policier de Cognac. Elsewhere, Girl Walks Into a Bar, which starred Gugino, Rosario Dawson, and Josh Hartnett, among others, was "the first major motion picture created exclusively for web distribution," as producers told Indiewire, and premiered on YouTube Screening Room.
