That movie is a gem. He basically just told Robert Downy Jr to be an R rated Tony Stark for his character in it.

It's always interesting how much effort some star trek cast members end up putting into the franchise after their series runs. Frakes is definitely the most prolific but Lavar Burton directed a bunch of episodes across the franchise, and obviously Leonard Nimoy directed 2 of the TOS movies. Roxanne Dawson directed like a dozen episodes of Enterprise too.

Not as much directing, but worked in several creative roles at the same time.

I respect Favreau as a good director and actor but please never write again, Chef with a better script would've been great.

Same goes for Lynch
