Brooklyn Nine Nine and Parks and Recreation actually had more than one of their actors directing. In Brooklyn Nine Nine, Jo Lo Truglio (Charles) and Melissa Fumero (Amy) each directed an episode of season 6, and in Parks and Recs, I think Nick Offerman and Adam Scott directed some episodes. Other actors who directed in their own shows are Jerry Trainor from iCarly who directed two episodes in the final season, Julie Bowen from Modern Family who directed two episodes in the final two seasons, Drake Bell and Josh Peck from Drake and Josh who each directed an episode and Im pretty sure a couple of the actors from the Flash directed some episodes.

No David Boreanaz? Really? He directed 1 episode of his show Angel. 11 episodes of his show Bones. And so far 3 episodes of his new show Seal Team. Plus he directed 1 episode of The Finder, which had its back door pilot on his show Bones.
His directing isnt as well known as his acting career, so he should have been on this list.

How is it that Jonathan Frakes is left out here? Heck, he did a number of episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation before doing episodes of myriad other shows, including other subsequent Treks

What about David Duchovny's brilliant multiple episodes of The X-Files that he both wrote AND directed! They're some of the most heart-felt and hilarious of the entire show!

What about Elizabeth Henstridge, aka Jemma Simmons, for Agents of SHIELD? Many of the episodes she directed were some of the best in the series!

I remember Jerry Trainor, who played Spencer on Icarly, directed an episode of icarly. I think it was more of an April fools themed episode.

That just what happens, when you get into something you like. Screenwriting and directing seem to be under a lot of actors and actresses belts.

Shannen Doherty shouldve been in the Top 10. The Charmed episodes she directed were the best of Season 3.
