It's fair to say that the arts of acting and directing are fairly different, and not all Hollywood heart throbs can turn their hands to becoming great directors as well as stars infront of camera.

Although some are, shall we say, a little controversial (Mel Gibson) all have gone from making audiences swoon at them on screen to impressing critics and audiences with the merits of their movies.

I think Clint Eastwood is the Actor/Director most other Actors look to for inspiration....he has accomplished so much. I seem to recall GC even saying that in an interview.
