Sackheim later went on to produce the 1993 pilot episode of The X-Files and directed the pilot episode of the short-lived 1999 series Harsh Realm which was developed by Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files.
Sackheim directed The Lottery[3][5] a 1996 television adaptation of the original Shirley Jackson short story, before making his feature film directing debut on 2001's The Glass House, which was poorly received by reviewers.[6] In 2004 he directed the pilot episode of the NBC series Hawaii, and the television film Homeland Security, and served as an executive producer for the 2005 series Night Stalker, a remake of the 1970s series Kolchak: The Night Stalker;[3]
From 2010 Sackheim has directed a number of episodes of high rating AMC series The Walking Dead, and since 2013 has also worked as a producer on FX series The Americans which was listed in the American Film Institute Awards 2013 best ten television programs of the year; as well as serving as executive producer for the 2012 series The Finder.[7]
