Why do so many actors turn director?

356 views

I wouldn’t think those skill sets are easily transferable seeing how much a director is in charge of. Like how did so many of the actors in The Office, also direct episodes? Bonus: does someone else stand in as director when you’re acting in a scene that you’re the director of that entire project?

It’s like cooking. When you don’t know exactly what you do you follow a recipe which is like following what a director says. When you start to understand you can start to teach other people how to cook. Directors tell actors where to stand and give notes on performance.
