discuss Which Actor Turned Director Made The Right Call?

[Unvarnished]

I particularly like how Jordan Peele has switched from being an actor to director. This man is definitely the best example I can give. Been so successful in comedy and now a movie director, showed his ability to direct and be able to mold himself.

Which actor do you think turned into an actor and did it right?

I haven't seen much, if at all, of Clint Eastwood's earlier acting work.

However, he's made a good appearance in Gran Torino, which he also directed.

Some other works of his that I enjoyed include Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, American Sniper, and Sully. However, I’m unsure if he only directed them or if he also appeared as an actor in any of those titles.

I made a research and I found out that Ben Affleck switched from acting to directing and did very well. He directed good movies like Gone Baby Gone in 2007, The Town in 2010 and Argo in 2012.

Some actors end up being film directors afer they retire from acting. A good example is Jordan Peele. He truly excelled as a director after putting up a stunning acting career. Other names worth mentioning are Ron Howard and Jon Favreau.

Ron Howard.

Mel Gibson has made some pretty cool movies. He was also awesome as an actor. I also like Client Eastwood's direction, however, I am not a fan of Eastwod's Western movies

Jordan Peele. I think directors with a similar mind will usher in the next era of Hollywood. All the directors we have not are still beholden to the old way of doing things, and I do not think they are doing too well with that.
