Andy Goddard was born in Pembroke Dock, Wales but was raised on the Isle of Skye in Scotland and pursued media studies at Napier University in Edinburgh. In 1998, he wrote and directed the acclaimed short film Little Sisters. Several more short pieces followed before Goddard moved into episodic television with Stacey Stone. He was soon working on a variety of programmes, including Taggart, The Bill, Twisted Tales and Murphy's Law. Goddard was recruited for the debut season of the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, earning his first credit on Countrycide. Five further Torchwood episodes followed over the course of two seasons, the last being 2008's A Day In The Death. Goddard was then given the opportunity to direct for Doctor Who itself, taking the reins of the 2008 Christmas special, The Next Doctor, which starred David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and David Morrissey as a man who believed himself to be the Doctor as well.

Goddard then joined former Torchwood lead writer Chris Chibnall on Law & Order: UK, for which he would ultimately direct ten episodes. Several installments of Downtown Abbey came next, after which Goddard also began to work on American productions. His credits during the rest of the 2010s included episodes of Once Upon A Time, Dracula, The Level, and several Marvel super-hero shows like The Punisher. His first feature film was 2014's Set Fire To The Stars with Elijah Wood; Goddard directed and collaborated on the screenplay. In 2016, he both directed and co-produced the Patrick Wilson movie A Kind Of Murder. At the end of the decade, Goddard began directing episodes of the fantastical Carnival Row, eventually becoming its executive producer. During the Twenties, he directed and co-wrote the movie thriller Six Minutes To Midnight starring Judi Dench.
