A partir de 1914 va dirigir i interpretar algunes pel·lícules a la Vitagraph. Va ser ajundant de direcció de James Young en pel·lícules com “My Official Wife” (1914), “The Violin of Monsieur” (1914), i dirigí pel·lícules com “The Old Flute Player” (1914), “The Silent Plea” (1915), “In The Latin Quartier” (1915), “Out of the Past” (1915), “The Quality of Mercy” (1915) i “The Girl Who Might Have Been” (1915), o “Britton of the 7th” (1916).[2] Com actor, la seva primera pel·lícula va ser “Lola” (1914).[4] Va continuar actuant i dirigint fins que a partir de 1920, ja amb la Goldwyn Pictures, es va centrar en la seva carrera com actor. Entre les seves pel·lícules més destacades figuren "Oliver Twist” (1922) de Frank Lloyd, “Bardelys the Magnificent” (1926) de King Vidor i "Frankenstein" (1931).
