David Boreanaz talks about directing Angel.

Speaking to Sci Fi Wire, David says that he found directing the episode Soul Purpose a challenging, but rewarding experience.

"I came in with some really strong ideas and some strong visuals that I wanted to do, and I had a big... meeting with [executive producer] Jeff Bell," Boreanaz said "A lot of the ideas I wanted to do kind of got, not squashed, but just toned down a bit, because I had to remind myself that I am shooting an Angel show and not this crazy, cinematic, swooping thing," he said with a laugh.

Asked how he found acting and directing at the same time, David revealed that it was pretty crazy, but "You do your work, and there were moments when I was acting in it, and I had the [assistant director] call 'action,' or I would look at a little television monitor while I was setting the shot and rehearsing. So your mind's really all over the place. But I enjoy working like that. The more that's going on, the better for me creatively."

Soul Purpose airs on the WB on 21st January.
