In the first two My Big Fat Greek Wedding films, Nia Vardalos wore a lot of hats — she starred in the films, but she also wrote them and was an executive producer, too. With My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, she added yet another responsibility: directing. As Vardalos told us, it’s something that had been considered for the second movie, but she said she’s glad she waited until the third.(Click on the media bar below to hear Nia Vardalos)
