The Most Famous Hollywood Stars Who Became Directors

In Hollywood, it is a common situation that actors step into the director's chair and want to express their own perspectives. Some of these names do this by making short films, while others sign big productions. While there are actors who want to end their acting careers and continue their paths with a directing career, there are also those who choose to combine acting and directing. Some of these actors have achieved such a successful perspective in directing that their directing has taken precedence over their acting. However, for some actors, this has only been a one-time directing experience. When some of Hollywood's most important actors took the director's chair, they only directed movies in which they played the leading role, while others decided to walk on a completely different path and preferred to stand out only as a director. No matter which path they select, having actors who have achieved great success in directing and transferring their acting experiences and observations to their directing has been a great gain for the world of cinema. Now, let's take a look at actors who have been successful in directing as well as their acting careers. It is up to you to choose which of these actor-directors is your favorite.
