Why do so many actors turn director?

297 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?

Experienced actors are often giving newer actors tips or helping to get the mood right in a scene with their skills. And after taking so much direction, they pick up nuances on how to set a scene well and contribute from their position. So it transfers more than you’d think.
