It must be very difficult for an established actor to suddenly step away from the spotlight and put on the director’s cap. This difficulty surely gets even more enhanced when you are making this transition on a series that you’ve been performing on for over 13 years. Suddenly, you’re throwing your directorial visions toward fellow castmates who have been standing with you on set. This is what Bridget Moynahan must’ve experienced when she decided to give directing a go, calling the shots for two episodes of “Blue Bloods.”
During an interview on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Moynahan discussed the challenges of making the jump to directing and discussed how she was encouraged to try her hand at helming an episode of the series. “I think I grew into it,” Moynahan said. “I think that people always encouraged me.” This encouragement came from other women from different behind-the-camera departments who “earned their wings” to direct.
Perhaps the most significant admission from the interview was Moynahan’s very real reaction to seeing a picture Barrymore showed of her directing. “I just almost started crying when I saw that photo,” she admitted. “It feels really great to take on this new challenge and go to the next level and this next step.”
