Try watching some of Branagh's directorial efforts from the '90s (namely, "Henry V", "Frankenstein", and "Hamlet", among others), where he also plays the lead role. While I don't think he's a bad actor, he's far better as a filmmaker, and so many of his movies suffer for having him in the lead (IMO).
Sadly, Ben Affleck seems to be doing pretty much the same thing nowadays. I think when "The Town" came out, I complained that I wished Affleck had cast himself in Jeremy Renner's role, and vice-versa.
