I went to the producers and said, “I would love to do whatever I can to enable myself to direct an episode if we”re on long enough. Noah Emmerich: It was something I had in my sights from the moment I signed on with the show. How did it come about first of all that you were going to direct an episode? Earlier this week, we talked about how the assignment came about, what he learned from other “Americans” directors, and how he got the show to dip back into the Fleetwood Mac catalog after the early success with “Tusk.” The episode ( which I reviewed here) had an action scene, suspense at FBI headquarters and a lot of tricky emotional material for Emmerich to both direct and, in several scenes, play. It”s rare that you see an actor be given quite so complicated an episode for his first directing job as “The Americans” handed Noah Emmerich tonight. Some even turn that into their full-time job, like Laura Innes or Peter Horton. It”s not uncommon for actors on long-running shows to take a turn in the director”s chair.
