Dave Franco And 8 Other Actors With Promising Directing Careers

Regina King

An accomplished, Oscar-winning actress with several noteworthy film/TV titles to her name, Regina King has been an outstanding acting talent for decades, and she finally got her well-deserved due with her award-winning turn in If Beale Street Could Talk. But in addition to King’s acting highlights, the three-time Emmy-winning Watchmen actress has steadily built a solid career behind the camera, notably helming episodes of Scandal, Southland, This Is Us, Shameless, The Good Doctor, Insecure, and more. 

Now, King makes her feature directorial debut with One Night in Miami, based on the play by Kemp Powers, which follows Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, Jim Brown, and Cassius Clay who meet up to change history in the South. It’ll premiere at TIFF and it was recently acquired by Amazon Studios. Though we haven’t seen the film yet for ourselves, we’re hopeful that King demonstrates her talents once more with this exciting new project.
