Imagine having to act and direct a movie at the same time. Thats a hard job, unless your making a porn. These megalomaniacs HAVE to appear in their movies, some just to be a part of their project, as if directing wasn’t enough. But others, are just douchebags and camera hogs that need the spotlight to be on them. Honestly we think that if it were an animated movie, they’d spend the extra animation hours making a character that looked like them.

Ummm…. Alfred Hitchcock…? Ever heard of him…? He appeared in all of his films…
Yeah your right , but he only appeared as himself talking about the movie, he never acted in them.
You obviously have the TV show confused with the movies. He did very quick cameos in all his movies right with the regular cast.
Not true – he did intros for the tv series – but he always appeared in his movies as an anonymous extra somewhere in the film – that’s half the fun of watching a hitchcock flick… trying to catch his appearance.
I miss Roman Polanski.
A lot of directors have done cameos, and Alfred Hitchcock was a genius, but the directors on this list acted throught out the entire movie or were key characters. But dont worry we will be making a tribute to Sir Alfred pretty soon.
if you’re talking about douchebags and megalomaniacs, how can tarantino NOT be number one?? not only does he always hae to be in his own movies, but he always gives himself these HORRIBLE loooong, drawn-out, self-absorbed camera-hogging speeches that make me want to find out where he lives and shit on his porch.
How about scrubs star Zach Braff he not only stared in and directed his movie Garden State, he wrote it too.
update, Clint Eastwood also directed Gran Torino..
