Lambda function that uses both a loop and an if-statement

Question

I am struggling to write a lambda function for a pandas column (list of dictionaries of movie crew members) with a loop and if-statement. The function returns the value of the key name for the dictionary in the list that also has a value of 'Director' for the key job. I am wondering if there is a way to convert my working director function to lambda. I can just do df.apply(director) but curious on how it can be done with lambda.

Code and examples below:

# This is the regular working function. x is a list of dictionaries.
def director(x):
  for i in x:
    if i['job'] == 'Director':
      return i['name']
  return ''

# My lambda attempt that would work but some rows may be empty
df.apply(lambda x: [i['name'] for i in x if i['job'] == 'Director'][0])

Solved with:

df.apply(lambda x: next((i['name'] for i in x if i['job'] == 'Director'), ''))
