32 Times a Director Appeared in Another Director's Movie (Cinemablend)

32 times but 31 movies listed because "The Muppet Movie" includes two director cameos: Mel Brooks and Orson Welles
"It's not unusual for directors to star in their own movies. Alfred Hitchcock famously made cameos in almost all of his movies and Quentin Tarantino appears in all of his in one way or another. It's rarer for a director to appear in a fellow director's movie. It's hardly unheard of, as we found plenty of interesting examples. So without further ado, here is our list of directors who appeared on other directors' movies." - cinemablend.com
