Most people know Bill Burr from his work as a standup comedian. Now, you can also refer to him as a director.
Burr made his directorial debut with "Old Dads," a movie that was just released on Netflix Friday.
According to Netflix, the movie follows three best friends as they become fathers later in life and "find themselves battling preschool principals, millennial CEOs and anything created after 1987."
“I am an old dad. I was in kindergarten 50 years ago,” Burr said in a new featurette about the film.
“When I showed up everything was different. This movie is basically based on me and what I’m dealing with,” he said.
In addition to his director duties, Burr also plays one of the main characters, Jack.
