He began his way into cinema in the early 1970s as a cameraman, working as a second director and special effects director. As an editor, Teague collaborated on many films with director and producer Roger Corman. He made his debut as a director by Lewis Teague in 1973 with the television movie Barnaby Jones, and the following year he directed the movie The Damned O'Neil. John Sales often worked with him as a screenwriter, and his films were produced by Roger Corman and Dino de Laurentiis. In the director's track record, a significant place is occupied by horror films and thrillers - "Alligator" (1980), "Deadly Vengeance" (1982), "Kujo" (1983), "Cat's Eye" (1985). Commercial success accompanied Lewis Teague after the release of the adventure comedy Pearl of the Nile (1985), with Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas in the lead roles. After the military film Seals (1990), the director switched to creating paintings for television. He took part in the filming of several episodes of popular television series, including Nash Bridges and The Thresholds of Time, directed television films Death Ties (1991), Operations Center (1995), Salvation Light (1995), Love and Betrayal (2001), and The Last Heroes (2001). As some critics note, the directorship of Tig lacks liveliness, which is sometimes more than redeemed by the emotionality and cruelty of the actions of the heroes.
