Names -> Singers Who Act -> Latest Entries

All too often, a performer gets it into their head that now they've reach some margin of fame in a band, they can also act! Some make the leap ok like Will Smith, others like Vanilla Ice are best left forgotten.

Comments & Submittor Name
David Bowie The Man Who Fell To Earth, The Hunger, etc. don't forget "Into the Night" from 1985. Bowie is a gangster, wearing the yellow outfit from the "Modern Love" video. When he gets in a fracas with a federal agent he pulls out a BOWIE knife. This film also features Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Dan Ackroyd and B.B. King. A great thriller. Check it out. - 84/85
Harry Nilsson Skidoo, Son of Dracula  - dxman
Evan Seinfeld (biohazard singer) Oz (HBO Tv show) he's also an adult film actor & producer with his wife Tera Patrick - xfuelx
Beyonce Knowles Obsessed I suppose she shows some acting talent here, but still messes up the movie, assuming it had anything going for it for her to mess up. She palys the wife of a man stalked by a crazed woman (the latter played by Ali Larter). The wife played by Beyonce is so insanely jealous (even before she knows anything of the stalking) that she is sometimes as scary as the stalker! - Marlene L. Ram
Courtney Love Straight to Hell Courtney Love first set eyes on Kurt Cobain at an event I like to call "Wrestlemania Portland", an event I will describe if I find a relevant post. However, Kurt first saw Courtney in this Alex Cox movie starring Joe Strummer and Elvis Costello. Kurt watched the film with a friend, Damon Romero, who pointed at an actress and said, "Hey, there's the girl from that band down in Portland [Hole]." This woman was Courtney Love. - Jakko Wakko
Tupac Shakur Juice, Above The Rim, Poetic Justice, Gang Related, Bullet, Gridlock'd An excellent actor who will truly be missed. - Michael Prymula
DMX Belly, Exit Wounds, Never Die Alone He was outstanding in Never Die Alone! - Michael Prymula
Nas Ticker, Belly, Sacred Is The Flesh  - Michael Prymula
Ja Rule Half Past Dead, Turn It Up, The Cookout, Scary Movie 3, Fast And The Furious, Assault On Prencinct 13, Furnace Not too bad actually. - Michael Prymula
Deborah Gibson College Date, Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus Pretty good in Mega Shark, never saw College Date though. - Michael Prymula
Dave Matthews An episode of "House" He played an epileptic musician. - Rocky
Frankie Valli The Sopranos He seems to have decent acting talent in that he had numerous appearances on the Sopranos as well as other guest appearances on different T.V. shows. - Barry Disbrow
Taylor Swift CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Hannah Montana: The Movie  - Rocky Mak
Kenny Rogers The Gambler, Coward Of The County, Six-Pack The first two were TV movies based on his hit songs. The other was a forgettable 1982 rip-off of "The Bad News Bears" in a NASCAR setting. - Country
Ann-Margaret Viva Las Vegas, Bye-Bye Birdie, The Swinger, Carnal Knowledge, Tommy, Grumpy Old Men, 52 Pick-Up  And who can forget Ann-Margrock on "The Flintstones"? - She
Patty Duke Valley of the Dolls "Don't Just Stand There" would have been a disaster except for the heroics of the sound engineers who were able to cover up her obvious lack of singing talent. Subsequent releases would fall far short of her success with her first hit record. It is a good thing that she didn't quit her day job with the "Patty Duke Show" to become a full-time pop singer. - Barry Disbrow
Bon Jovi Moonlight and Valentino, The Leading Man, Destination Anywhere, Homegrown, Little City, No Looking Back, Row Your Boat, Vampires Los Muertos, U-571 I haven't seen any but apparently he is pretty decent. - Travis
Aaron Carter Liberty's Kids, Fat Albert, Lizzie McGuire, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and 7th Heaven. I haven't seen any of these movies or shows. - Travis
Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded, I honestly don't like her at all. I thought "Parent Trap" wasn't that bad though. - Travis
Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana Movie I my opinion, she isn't good at singing or acting. - Travis
