Music Trivia -> Singers Who Act -> A
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.
Name | Notable Song Credits | Comments & Submittor Name | ||
| Aaliyah (Haughton) | Romeo Must Die, Queen of the Damned | In "Queen of the Damned", her voice was overdubbed by her brother, Rashad Haughton, as she had died shortly after principal photography was completed. - kasumi | ||
| 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 | ||
| Aaron Carter | Lizzie McGuire, Supercross | As brother of Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys, his acting credits are mostly complimentary co-star or guest starring. - Rocky Mak | ||
| Aaron Carter | Popstar, Supercross, Fat Albert | Nick BSB's little bro (who's not so little anymore mind you) did fairly well in these movies although they didn't turn him into the next big Hollywood thing overnight. Starring in more movies could improve his acting skills though. - Didrick | ||
| Adam Ant | Cold Steel, World Gone Wild, Sweetwater, Face Down, Cyber Bandits, Desert Winds, Love Bites, Spellcaster, Nomads, Slam Dance, Sunset Heat, Trust Me | - Michael Prymula | ||
| Adam Horovitz (King Ad Roc of The Beastie Boys) | Lost Angels | He played (what else?) a troubled teen. - Rap | ||
| Alanis Morissette | Dogma | She appears for a short time in Dogma as God. - Julie | ||
| Alanis Morrisette | You Can't Do That On Television | She only lasted a few episodes before she trotted off to do her own thing. Frankly I think she was better off because look at where she's at now. - Celeste | ||
| Alice Cooper | Prince of Darkness | Not a speaking part, and listed in the credit's as "Street Sicko". - princejellyfish | ||
| Alicia Keys | Smokin' Aces | Stick to your day job, Alicia. - soul ii | ||
| Andrea Corr | Evita | In addition to Madonna, who played the title role, the lead singer of the Irish rock group The Corrs also had a part in the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera "Evita." Her part, as Peron's mistress, is very small, appearing on screen for only a few minutes, but she played it well nonetheless. - Raphael | ||
| 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 | ||
| Anthony Keidis | Jokes My Folks Never Told Me, F.I.S.T., Point Blank, The Chase. | He had a bit part in The Chase and Point Blank but Jokes My Folks Never Told Me was Anthony's first really big acting role. - Celeste | ||
| Art Garfunkel | Catch-22, Carnal Knowledge | Surprisingly good actor; it's a shame he didn't do more films. - Amy | ||
| Ashanti | The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, John Tucker Must Die, Coach Carter | I myself have only seen the first one, so I can't say anything about the other two. As Dorothy, though, she was pretty bad (worse, she had more screentime than the titular Muppets- the whole thing seemed just an excuse to showcase her sorry acting). - helena | ||
| Ashlee Simpson | 7th Heaven, Undiscovered | Not counting "Ashlee Simpson Show" (reality series), she has had mixed success. - Rocky Mak |
