Justin Timberlake has scored some choice roles as an actor lately — did you catch him in that trailer for The Social Network? But he’s never gone behind the camera until now. Timberlake is making his directorial debut with a new ad campaign for 901 Silver Tequila, the liquor brand he launched last year. The “At Liberty” campaign features three spots directed by the singer. And we have the first-ever sneak peeks of Justin on the set right here.

Surrounded by the ordinary, his presence symbolizes superior quality and the desire to strive higher.”
The second image, below, shows Timberlake directing actress Felisha Terrell in an ad called “Let Them Eat Cake.” She plays “a self-assured, beautiful, poised woman who commands viewers’ attention. She is powerful, controlled and a spoken visionary who knows how to get what she wants.” Wonder what he’s telling her?

He is amazing.
Replace Timberlake with Bieber.. now that’s amazing!
Yeah because replacing an almost 30 year old accomplished man with a 16 year old boy just starting out is so amazing.
Remember when he used to be a singer? Aw those were the days!
yeah, an amazing singer and performer at that.
Why is he messing around with commercials and straight to video indie pictures? Make a damn CD. It is driving me crazy.
Glad that he remembers who his friends are still. The guy in the video was on MMC with Justin. tonylucca.com amazing singer
