it is part of the Autuer Theory. it is just another way of keeping control and keeping a film his own.
Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Wells, Mel Gibson, have all done it. It is not ego but pride in their craft and not allowing it to become under control 100% by the studios.

I don't think he "Stars" in his own movies he just makes little appearance like Steven King makes in all of his books-turned-movies.

Because he's a legend in his own mind. Because he wants everyone to mistake Alfred Hitcock for him. Take your pick.

It's just a little conceit that he does for fun. Alfred Hitchcock did the same thing.
