Plenty of actors are also directors, and have acted in movies not directed by themselves.

Ben Affleck, George Clooney, John Krasinksi ...

Or are you looking for those known primarily for directing that also appeared in a movie?

Yeah. I may not have worded my question the best. But looking g at established directors as actors in movies that are not their own. Obviously Hitchcock, Eastwood and a bunch of others act in their films, but looking at movies that directors have acted. Rob Reiner and Ron Howard were actors before directing so I guess I’m looking at those who are known for directing first but did some acting.
