Me being a tad cynical, I'd suggest the shows actors get paid extra if they're the director.

Huh?

More work for more pay. Makes sense. Do they not get paid for directing while acting?

Likely DGA minimum

That’s not a pittance. Especially if it’s regular work.

Dunno. I just noticed David Boreanaz directed Bones and Seal Team whilst acting in them. If you get a credit, you get paid.

Lots of actors have an interest in directing and sometimes they get an opportunity to do so on shows that they're on, and if it's their first time it gives them a bit of a safety net as they're working with people they know and are already familiar with the workplace rhythms.
Amanda Tapping for example started directing on Stargate and has directed episodes of many different series since, some she also acted on but most as just a director.
