McG began his career in the music industry, directing music videos and producing various albums. He later rose to prominence with his debut theatrically released narrative feature, Charlie's Angels, which had the highest-grossing opening weekend for a directorial debut at the time.

On television, McG co-created Fastlane with John McNamara and executive produced The O.C., Supernatural, and Chuck.
