Actors always direct themselves. A good actor shows up onset ready, especially in television, and you've done your homework and you know your character.

In television, it may be the first time you're meeting this director and you've been living in this character's skin for a couple of years. It's always great to have fresh perspective and fresh insight, but no one knows your character better than you do.
