Reply to comment by RunningToStayStill in why do series shows always have so many seemingly random people directing every episode? by OctoberRust13

Slightly so. The big trick is that an actor directing an episode is generally assigned one that they aren't going to be playing a large role in, and where an assistant director can handle the scenes where the actor also needs to be performing.

I noticed that with Atlanta—the episodes Donald Glover directs are ones where he isn’t in it or isn’t in much of it.
