Genius director. Great actor? Ehh...I loved his role in Sunset Blvd. though.
Hence the "possibly". The director aspect is a given, while the actor one is debatable, however, his performances in Sunset Blvd., La Grande Illusion, The Wedding March and a few others at the very least qualify him for consideration in that area as well - especially upon seeing some of the other persons mentioned in this thread, some of which haven't even had anything you could call "careers", let alone consistent ones, in both fields.
