Ronny Cox - good character actor and guitar player that played DUELING BANJOS in the film DELIVERANCE.
Dennis Quaid's band plays around Hollywood all the time.
Bruce Willis - mean harmonica/blues harp player plays up in Idaho sometimes.
Levon Helm - drummer for THE BAND which backed up Bob Dylan is also a terrific actor who played Sissy Spacek's daddy when she played Loretta Lynn.

Jamie Foxx was into music from an early age...and went into acting, now has used acting to sell his music
i expect great things from him
ok yeah singing to acting is one thing....but when actors try to sing....hmmm...not always good results | |

Tom Waits acts but I haven't seen him in anything to judge
Tom Waits was great in "Mystery Men." I saw this interview with him a while after it was made and he said he was so bad at memorizing lines, they had to tape them on the backs of props on all over the set. :) | |

Don Johnson, Philp Michael Thomas/Miami Vice comes to mind. If no one has seen their Music Videos try Youtube, if you dare.  | |

Posted: 10/20/2006 3:29:10 PM | I think there are a number of musicians who also make really good actors, some are better actors than musicians, take Ice T, couldn't stand him as a musician but he's cool cool on SVU, I have yet to see my all-time favourite Amy Lee branch out:) She would be good in some kinda thriller along the lines of the Underworld series.

Posted: 10/21/2006 4:13:08 PM | | I almost thought no one mentioned Kevin Bacon, but I found one. I also like Will Smith and Jamie Foxx. Jennifer Lopez wasn't bad in "The Wedding Planner." And he may be the funniest "musician" ever, but I love William Shatner! Mr. Tamborine Man! He doesn't take himself seriously and I love that. He's an icon. I also agree with a previous post about Roger Daltrey. I think he was in one of the Highlander movies, and some TV shows. Did anyone know that Johnny Depp is a guitarist? I guess he wanted to be a rock star, so he married a singer. They probably jam together, how cool would THAT be? | |
