They portray heroes, villains, lead major productions and even participate in small roles in cameos that often end up granting them prestigious awards. Over time, and with experience, some world-renowned actors discovered a new passion: directing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>. Every once in a while we learn that an actor has decided to go one step further and sit in the director&#8217;s chair to carry out a personal project. Many of them even starred in their films in addition to directing them.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --><br \/>\n It is quite true that acting in a film is not the same as directing it: these are roles that are intended to complement each other very well, yet imply different skills and levels of responsibility. However, the years of experience and the day-to-day routine on different sets have left their mark on many of them and, motivated by what they learned from some of the best filmmakers, they decided to try their chances behind the camera. Some of these actors achieved outstanding results and never made it back to the acting world. Take a look at some of the actors who were able to succeed in directing their own films.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"related-single\">Related: 10 Singers Who Became Great Actors<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- Zone: native in content. --><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"clint-eastwood\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Clint_Eastwood\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">7 <\/span> Clint Eastwood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:65.0390625%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/unnamed-(1)-2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/unnamed-(1)-2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/unnamed-(1)-2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/unnamed-(1)-2.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img width=\"512\" height=\"333\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"unnamed-(1)-2\"\/>\n <\/picture>\n <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p> If there is one thing we can say about <strong>Clint Eastwood<\/strong>, it is that his talent level is extremely high, both in both acting and in directing.

The actor has over twenty years of experience between movies and television, but it wasn&#8217;t until he released <strong><em>A Quiet Place<\/em><\/strong> (2018) that he caught the eye of everyone in the industry. It was an all-time achievement: Krasinski was the leading actor, director and screenwriter of the movie.<\/p>\n<p> From his debut in 2002, he got a job as an intern on <em>Late Night<\/em> with Conan O&#8217;Brien and eventually established himself in the industry with the opening of <strong><em>The Office<\/em><\/strong> (2005), the sitcom led by Steve Carell. John impersonated Jim Halpert, a sales representative of a paper distribution company. This production was so successful that it ran uninterrupted for nine seasons, and Krasinski was given the opportunity to direct a couple episodes.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #8! --><br \/>\n In 2021, Krasinski premiered the sequel to <em>A Quiet Place<\/em> in theaters.
