How to Code this Query

Question

Hello, I'm using Access and need to code this query on SQL and I have this problem:
I have 3 tables: Movie, Actor, Acts_In
Movie table has fields: Movie_ID, movie_name, actor_1, actor_2, director
Actor table has fields: Actor_ID, first_name, last_name
Acts_IN table has fields: Movie_ID, Actor_ID
* actor_id and movie_id are primary keys
I have to create a query that allows me to search for a director, giving me a list of actors that have worked with that director, and all the movies they have acted in.
so far I have come up with this code, however:
select actor.first_name, actor.last_name, movie_name
from (actor inner join acts_in ON acts_in.actor_ID=actor.actor_id) inner JOIN movie
ON acts_in.movie_ID=movie.movie_id
group by actor.first_name, actor.last_name, movie_name;
This code gives me a list of all actors and all movies they acted in, but it does not give me specific actors in respect to a specific director, adding
where director="XYZ"
does not work as it gives me all actors that have worked with director XYZ but not all movies they have acted in. 
Thanks!

Grump. You should have provided us example data and DML, like this:
DECLARE @movies TABLE (movie_ID INT, movie_Name VARCHAR(50), director VARCHAR(75))
DECLARE @actors TABLE (actor_ID INT, first_name VARCHAR(50), last_name VARCHAR(50))
DECLARE @acts_in TABLE (movie_ID INT, actor_ID INT)
INSERT INTO @movies (movie_ID, movie_Name, director) VALUES
(1, 'Batman Returns', 'Tim Burton'),
(2, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'Tim Burton'),
(3, 'Sweeney Todd', 'Tim Burton'),
(4, 'Alice in Wonderland', 'Tim Burton'),
(5, 'Edward Scissor Hands', 'Tim Burton'),
(6, 'From Hell', 'Albert Huges')
INSERT INTO @actors (actor_ID, first_name, last_name) VALUES
(1, 'Danny', 'DeVito'),
(2, 'Freddie', 'Highmore'),
(3, 'Helena', 'Bonham-Carter'),
(4, 'Johnny', 'Depp'),
(5, 'Mia', 'Wasikowska'),
(6, 'Micheal', 'Keaton'),
(7, 'Winona', 'Ryder')
INSERT INTO @acts_in (movie_id, actor_ID) VALUES
(1, 1),(1, 6),
(2, 2),(2, 4),
(3, 3),(3, 4),
(4, 4),(4, 5),
(5, 4),(5, 7),
(6, 4)
Which would have allowed us to come up with this:
SELECT m2.director, a.first_name, a.last_name, m2.movie_Name
FROM ((((@movies m
INNER JOIN @acts_in ai
ON m.movie_ID = ai.movie_ID)
INNER JOIN @actors a
ON ai.actor_ID = a.actor_ID)
INNER JOIN @acts_in ai2
ON a.actor_ID = ai2.actor_ID)
INNER JOIN @movies m2
ON ai2.movie_ID = m2.movie_ID)
WHERE m.director = 'Tim Burton'
GROUP BY m2.director, a.first_name, a.last_name, m2.movie_Name
IIRC the primary difference between TSQL and the "Access SQL" is the freakin parens. So that *should* run in access, which you appear to be using.
