The source for the following is Trek Today (Christian):

After Star Trek: Voyager has ended, fans of Robert Duncan McNeill (Tom Paris) may have to wait a while before they see him on screen again, as the Voyager star recently said he would most like to continue directing after Voyager has ended,

McNeill has already directed several episodes of 'Star Trek: Voyager' and most recently he released his new independent film '9mm of Love', which is currently touring the film festival circuit.

"I think I would like to continue directing the most because it's newer to me," McNeill recently told Charles Wall of the French magazine 'Le Padd'. McNeill continued, "The acting I have been lucky enough to make my living at since I was nineteen. The acting is harder to plan, you have to wait for the right thing to come along, you have to hope to be cast in the role so I think the acting will have to wait."

Over the past few years, McNeill has already been busy honing his skills as director. "I've been directing and working outside of Star Trek as much as I can," he said to Paul Simpson of British SFX magazine. "I've also been directing for the Nickelodeon network and I'll be directing Dawson's Creek,hopefully this year. I'd love to stay on and continue with the Star Trek family,maybe as a director or guest star on the new series. There's a movie right now that I'm working on; we're talking to Ralph Fiennes and Jeremy Irons about starring. But with our production schedule, there's not time to do that one hundred per cent."

It will be a shame not to see him on tv for a while.... What is it with Star Trek Actors becoming directors... Jonathon Frakes did it... Leva Burton... etc....
 
Re: ST actors--->directors

Don't forget Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and Alexander Siddig (Julian Bashir)!

Very true... they all seem to want to get out of acting and move to the directors chair... Good luck to them though if thats what they want...
 
I agree.

Poor Garrett Wang (Harry Kim), though. He wanted a turn at directing VOY and was turned down!:(
