Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi recently commented on directing himself as an actor in a way that only he could.
“You’ve got to understand that Taika Waititi the actor is an incredible person to work with.
As an actor, I highly valued Taika Waititi the director, who was very generous to me in giving me a few more takes than everyone else, and really let me show what I can do.”
When Taika Waititi the director comes across someone like that, it just seems appropriate to give that actor a bit more time to show what they can do.
