Actors Played by Directors

Imagine that biopics are being made about major actors, but are starring directors instead of other actors. Which director would play each actor? Suggestions must be a person whose primary occupation is direction, not just an actor who happens to have directed a movie or two. You may choose a director who could play the actor at any stage of the actor's life (thus, a young director can play an actor who is currently somewhat old).
