“Some”? 29 episodes across TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. That’s even one more TV episode than Jonathan Frakes directed. (although Frakes also directed two movies)

I remember a few long running TV shows with cast writing and directing episodes.
Duchovny directed a few XFiles episodes.
Two of the leads directed episodes og SG-1, antihero wrote at least one episode.
Those two are just off the top of my head, but I remember noticing cast doing extra stuff regularly. Probably not too common in the early seasons, but it is a great way for them to branch out.
That said, some are more successful than others.

So I was curious and went to look up actors who directed episodes of their shows and guess who showed up on the list (not in a Star Trek number but still) … Captain James Tiberius Kirk.
Here is the “article” i was reading.

Christopher Judge also wrote three and a half late-season episodes. The one Amanda Tapping directed was written by Michael Shanks.
