Kevin Patrick Smith (born August 2, 1970) is an American filmmaker, actor, comedian, public speaker, comic book writer, author, and podcaster. He came to prominence with the low-budget comedy film Clerks (1994), which he wrote, directed, co-produced, and acted in as the character Silent Bob of stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob also appeared in Smith's later films Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which are set primarily in his home state of New Jersey. While not strictly sequential, the films have crossover plot elements, character references, and a shared canon known as the "View Askewniverse", named after Smith's production company View Askew Productions, which he co-founded with Scott Mosier.

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).
