His credits include I Want to Live!, Judgement at Nuremberg, The Fortune Cookie, In the Heat of the Night, The Graduate, Deliverance, Fiddler on the Roof, Harold and Maude, Silver Streak, Superman, Being There, and Tootsie. Wiseman started making documentaries in 1967. His most recent was last year’s In Jackson Heights, about a community in Queens, New York, considered one of the most culturally diverse in the United States.
