Yes, these are directors, but they "acted" in those movies, so you can consider them "actors".

hmm, sean, you seem to have posted two challenges

however Chaplin was done on the first page

Charlie Chaplin (A King in New York) Rober Arden I (Little Shope of Horrors) Rick Moranis (Brewsters Millions) Richard Prior (Superman III) Christorpher Reeves (Superman II) Taurence Stamp (Episode I as Chancelor Valorum)

and im not sure if Victor Fleming falls in the rules

Victor Fleming (When the Clouds Roll by) Babe London (Sex Kittens Go to College) Vampira aka Maila Nurmi
Vampira (I Woke Up Early the Day I Died ) Christina Ricci (Sleepy Hollow) Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) Keira Knightley - Sabe, Queen's Decoy

would work, but Fleming is credited as himself (not sure if that counts as an actor, and its his only non producing, writing, directing credit) and i am unsure if that was a theatrically released movie (its a silent movie from 1919)

Bossk, can we get a (official) ruling on that?

Simon, yep your Fleming solution is fine. I know it doesn't say "Actor" beside it, but he is appearing on screen as himself and it was theatrically released apparently on Dec. 28, 1919. So it's good.

Cecil B DeMille (Hollywood) Charlie Chaplin (A King in New York) Dawn Addams (Vampire Lovers) Peter Cushing -- Grand Moff Tarkin

There, I have now shortened the Charlie Chaplin linkage so it will be easier down the line to use his name. Who knew that Chaplin was only two degrees from Star Wars?

Next is William Wyler (yes, you will have to use "uncredited" appearances to answer this one).
