I think Ben Stiller is a pretty good actor but he’s a fantastic director which is weird, usually it’s being a great actor that makes you a better director

his performances in the meyerowitz stories and the royal tennenbaums are better than anything he’s directed imo

Yeah but usually it’s the other way around, like the main reason Greta Gerwig and John Krasinski are good at directing is because they’re already great actors, because like 90% of the time if you can’t act you can’t direct
