When the director can also act

[@PrimerCinePodcast]

As a big fan of Lynch, I gotta say I LOVED that his character is introduced with the "You wanna met the best film director in the world?", and then he walks in :) Even if they're talking about John Ford, I love how the whole moment feels with him being announced like that hahahah

That Cronenberg cameo in The Newsroom is hysterical.

The american friend has to be king of this type of casting, so so many filmmakers in that one

[@PictureProductStudio]

One of the leading examples, but John Landis often has dozens of directors appearing in his movies, Into the Night and Spies Like Us (both 1985) got to be the leaders. Look up the casts, it's crazy.

I love your videos🙏 Lynch's performance was amazing

" And he was pretty good in Quiz Show." I paused the video and said to the screen "YES." My number one performance of Scorsese The Actor. He is just splendid in it.

It's so a director can gain on-set insight into another director's work practices.

great video! another example I always think of is Jay Duplass in Transparent

I saw Close Encounters as a little kid, and didn't realize the French guy was a renowned film director until he died years later. There were various tributes to him, each of them mentioning such projects as 400 Blows and Day For Night. And my pea-sized brain went, "Hey, it's Lacombe!"

[@treasey8655]

what movie did you use for the last scene other than fablemans?

[@danielmoore9209]

People can be two things at once and Von Stroheim is be remembered far more for his directing than his acting
