is Spike Lee the only one that directs/writes and acts in his films in the present day?

when i say this i mean act significantly.....Scorsese sitting at a dinner table with two furry worm props above his eyes doesn't count.....although i'd count Taxi Driver....but i mean on a consistant basis

former ones i can think of:
Chaplin
Keaton
Welles
Woody allen

The only movie that Tim Robbins acted in that he himself wrote and directed was "Bob Roberts".

Edward Burns
Jon Favreau
Kevin Costner (only directing/acting)
Clint Eastwood (only directing/acting)
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Well, then...

There's Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee (who's probably the most prominent), and Richard Linklater.  Most directors don't do this nearly as much as they used to, though.

Mel Gibson has acted/directed in Braveheart and The Man Without a Face, but I'm not sure I'd count him still.
