Directed by Cast Member	comment	Later on in an ongoing TV series run, one of the cast members may get the idea in their head to take a turn at the helm. They'll have been around a set and crew for some time now and having shifted from the floating jobbing actor life to a more stable schedule, a desire to try something new may be piquing up. Now considering that by this stage they will have a decent relationship with the production staff, who probably don't want to say no and who also don't want the stars to getting ideas of wandering off into their head, the idea of directing an episode will come up. Not much will change stylistically in this episode since a good budding director will try to emulate the ongoing style to fit it while a bad one would hopefully be steered heavily by the established staff. However, the episode may be noted for completely leaving out the actor's character or reducing them to a walk-on role, so that they can focus on the directing. On the other hand, maybe they go for the opposite, having an episode that does focus heavily on them, so that they don't so much have to deal with directing other people's acting. Of course, you might not want to trust the coffee passed to you by the guy who went to film school, worked as a runner for five years and spent every day sucking up to the director to no avail... Writer-actor, director-actor and other hyphenated jobs titles are normally used to refer to someone who develops more than one role simultaneously. That is not this trope. This trope is about those whose careers evolve (or attempt to evolve) into another role, using their current employment as a springboard. Think Dual classing vs Multi-classing with Directed by Cast Member being Dual Classing. See also Descended Creator and Written by Cast Member.

Apparently United Paramount Network (already struggling in ratings across its entire lineup) was too risk-averse to allow actors without prior directing experience to learn on the job. As mentioned above, lead actor Scott Bakula declined the opportunity despite his pre-existing experience. Meanwhile, Burton, Dawson and McNeill all spent time in the director's chair.

Directed by Cast Member / int_2c9b0bb4	comment	Here's a strange one: near the end of Moonlighting, Dennis Dugan was brought in for four episodes to play the infamous "Romantic False Lead Maddie met on a train and immediately married for no apparent reason except to provide a Love Triangle". This failed utterly and his character was written out and never seen again. However, Dugan himself stuck around to direct five unrelated episodes, including the series finale... and today is probably better known as a director than as an actor. This trope itself was parodied in the Moonlighting episode "Atomic Shakespeare". In one scene, 'Petruchio' (David Addison) pulls out a list of demands for Kate (Maddy Hayes). He reads out 'Top billing, 10% pay rise and a chance to direct' and then says 'oops, wrong list of demands'. (Ironically, Bruce Willis has never directed for real. If you're wondering, neither has Cybill Shepherd.)

According to Mark Dawidziak's book, The Columbo File, creators/producers Richard Levinson and William Link gave Falk an episode of the series to direct "to shut him up". Furthermore, the script they gave him to direct, "Blueprint For Murder", was the one they considered the most difficult to direct. They were stunned when he brought the project in well under budget and also surprised that he did a fantastic job directing it. Unfortunately, Falk never went behind the camera again, though he did write one of the post-1989 episodes.

Directed by Cast Member / int_81692f99	comment	A fairly large number of Star Trek actors have directed at least one episode, and Jonathan Frakes, Robert Duncan McNeill and Roxann Dawson have in fact become more famous within the industry as directors than actors. Note that many of the cast member-directors are now or were professors of directing and acting for the stage: Frakes (Rockport College), Avery Brooks (Rutgers University), Andrew Robinson (USC), RenÃ© Auberjonois (Juilliard). Averted during the run of the Original Series. None of the original cast ever directed a TV episode of any Star Trek series. That said, Leonard Nimoy has directed two of the films, and William Shatner a third. On TNG, besides breakout director Frakes, Patrick Stewart, LeVar Burton and Gates McFadden have all spent time on the other side of the camera. Frakes also directed two of the franchise's movies. Though he's not as famous for it, Burton has actually directed more episodes of Star Trek than any other alum, with 29 episodes to his credit. (That said, Frakes will tie him before the end of 2023; he also has those two movies.) On DS9, Brooks, Auberjonois, Alexander Siddig, Michael Dorn and even Fake Guest Star Andrew Robinson directed episodes, with help from Frakes and Burton. Pointedly averted by Nana Visitor: aware of the predilection of her castmates to direct episodes, she always claimed, "[Then-child actor] Cirroc Lofton will direct an episode before I do." As Lofton aged and this actually became a reasonable possibility, she switched to "my [then-infant] son". While normally the episodes directed by a cast member either don't feature their character or only feature them briefly, the much-praised Deep Space Nine episode "Far Beyond the Stars" sticks out because it was directed by and totally focused on Avery Brooks. The episode was about racism in the 1950s, and the writers thought that the episode would suffer if it wasn't directed by someone who has to live with it today. On Voyager, Frakes and Burton were amongst the stable of directors, with Robinson ducking in occasionally. The first "shipboard" director was McNeill, with Robert Picardo, Tim Russ and Dawson getting involved as well. One of the complaints Garrett Wang had about his time on Voyager was that he never got to a direct an episode, despite asking several times. In fact, Wang holds the dubious distinction of being the only actor in the entire franchise who wanted to direct but was never allowed to. This puts his character Harry Kim's Butt-Monkey status in a rather unflattering light. Ethan Phillips also made it clear that he had no intention of ever calling the shots on an episode. Star Trek: Enterprise was the first show in the franchise to never have any instalment directed by one of its own actors. Apparently United Paramount Network (already struggling in ratings across its entire lineup) was too risk-averse to allow actors without prior directing experience to learn on the job. As mentioned above, lead actor Scott Bakula declined the opportunity despite his pre-existing experience. Meanwhile, Burton, Dawson and McNeill all spent time in the director's chair. Shows during the Secret Hideout era have likewise kept actors out of the director's chair, the sole exception being Frakes, who in addition to being the pre-eminent Star Trek director has had his character appear in two of the era's five shows. (Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard is the first time he's spent more time in front of a camera than behind it in over 30 years.) Picard Season 2 also had Lea Thompson appear in a bit role in the 5th episode after directing the 3rd and 4th.

Directed by Cast Member / int_8d7fb63a	comment	Trackdown. I Spy. The Greatest American Hero. What do these TV series have in common? They all starred Robert Culp, and he wrote and directed episodes for each of them. This was a factor in his not being cast as Koenig on Space: 1999; he told Gerry Anderson that he wanted to write and direct, and was handed his hat as a result. In fact, the only cast member of any live-action Anderson show to have directed an episode is Robert Vaughn, who went behind the camera for one of the few comedic episodes of The Protectors, "It Could Be Practically Anywhere On The Island" (an episode widely regarded, including by Vaughn himself, as a mistake).

Freddie Highmore and Max Thieriot followed suit, both taking a turn behind the camera in season five.

Directed by Cast Member / int_ccf875f7	comment	Criminal Minds actor Matthew Gray Gubler considers directing to be his actual passion. He handled twelve episodes of the show, a number of which of which were hailed by critics: "Mosley Lane" (5x16): This one was definitely a Tear Jerker episode and, especially considering it involved heavy acting with teenagers and young children, was incredibly well executed. When you're able to get multiple really good performances out of kids, you're doing something right. "Lauren" (6x18): This one was Paget Brewster's (Emily Prentiss) "goodbye episode" (due to the fiasco called Executive Meddling during season six which A.J. Cook was fired and Paget's role was reduced. Both returned for season seven) and she wanted Matthew to direct it. Another fantastic episode which involved AJ Cook (JJ) returning for this episode and Emily faking her death. Needless to say, it was a Tear Jerker. "Heathridge Manor" (7x19): Very intriguing episode which was described by Matthew as "eerily cerebral". This one was more about the psychological horror rather than the blood and guts.

Bryan also directed seven episodes of Malcolm in the Middle, most notably the fifth season premiere.
