Jason Bateman acting career began in childhood, but he is perhaps best known as a member of the flakey Bluth family on the cult comedy "Arrested Development." After decades on camera, Bateman has found an even greater passion. In recent years he directed, not just acted in, a pair of feature films. That's where the new Netflix thriller "Ozark" came in. He signed onto this series starring as a financial adviser who launders drug money on the side. But for Bateman, the acting job was secondary. He says the chance to direct "was the draw. That's what got me vibrating." The 10-episode "Ozark" is now available on the Netflix website.
