Hello! What kind of things have they been doing/not doing? Their job should be to know how a script works and how to improve it. They should know how to make actors' performances better.

Hi Joseph Quiles, if you can hold on until the end of shoot, I recommend it because people will see how professional you are for sticking it out. But obviously there are deal breakers, so it does depend on the director's specific behavior.

I agree with David Abrookin It won't serve you in the end to quit a project because you don't like the director. As long as you remain professional and give your best that's all you need do.

IMHO, if an actor gets cast and production starts, they should try to finish their role in the production. That said, what the director does in pre-production will give you some insight into how they will perform on set. Examples include planning for lighting, shot selection, turn arounds, shooting schedule, script supervisor, etc. So IMO the time for an actor to withdraw from a production is before cameras are rolling in all fairness to other cast and crew as well as the director. Otherwise they should do the best the can and learn from the experience.
