Musicians that become actors

[Elvis_Christ]

This is usually hit or miss situation especially if its done to cash in on their 20sec of fame:

I've always dug Tom Waits a actor ever since I saw him in Bram Stocker's Dracula and Down By Law.
Iggy was great in Dead Man and Crybaby
Gene Simmons is a pretty decent villain especially in Wanted: Dead Or Alive

Wendy O. Williams (RIP :( ) was fuckin' dope in Reform School Girls

I haven't braved watching my Cradle Of Fear DVD yet :p

[Despare]

Johnny Depp moved to LA with plans of being a musician...

Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Tom Waits, and Kris Kristofferson too. I'm sure I could think of more but there's a few good ones.

Alice Cooper was creepy as fuck in Prince Of Darkness.... pretty cool how he got to be Freddy's dad :D

[Despare]

Oh, and Marky Mark, I guess you can't forget him.

[The STE]

If we're counting rappers, then Ice Cube and Mos Def are both good actors.

[neverending]

David Bowie in Man Who Fell to Earth and many other roles.

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

Marky Mark is the first one I think of.

Ice Cube for sure, don't think I've seen Mos Def in anything......

Ice T had some pretty good roles in New Jack City, Surviving The Game and Ricochet

***waiting for Dolly to mention a certain Justin T***

Cough...cough.

[The STE]

Mos Def was Ford in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, and recently starred in Be Kind Rewind.

[neverending]

David Bowie in Man Who Fell to Earth and many other roles.

LOL he hasn't turned actor yet, he's still doing the musician thing for now.

He's in the same boat as David Bowie and Mick Jagger. :cool:

[Elvis_Christ]

No one's mentioned Lemmy he should do a tough guy revenge part in something

[Despare]

David Bowie in Man Who Fell to Earth and many other roles.

I love that movie, between that and Labyrinth he's easily one of the best musicians turned actors.

[neverending]

Well, he was a musician first, really- since the early 60s.

If you like zoned out Warhol impersonations

[Despare]

I meant it the other way...

[Despare]

If you like zoned out Warhol impersonations

Yeah, because you can zone out any further than Warhol... let me just go pop in Empire.

[Elvis_Christ]

What? :confused:

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

What? :confused:

he's hitting on you.

[Elvis_Christ]

he's hitting on you.

The pics he sent me are fucked up :eek:

Despare vs. Chocolate Sauce doesn't make a pretty viewing experience :(

[Despare]

he's hitting on you.

Actually I was expressing my dislike for Warhol's anti-movie that's all. If I were to hit on anybody around here it wouldn't Elvis... or would it??

The pics he sent me are fucked up :eek:

If only you could be so lucky, it would be your wallpaper for life.

[_____V_____]

Harry Belafonte, Frank Sinatra, Will Smith, Tupac, Jon Bon Jovi, Frankie Avalon, Tom Waits, Dwight Yoakam.

Though I must admit, David Bowie takes the cake here, with Mark Wahlberg a close second.

That series sucked.

The only times I ever liked the guy were in MIB and I Am Legend.

[The_Return]

He was great in Pursuit of Happyness...the movie was pretty average (not terrible, but nothing special), but I thought he did an incredibly good job.

Of course!!

How could I forget Dolly's FAVORITE musician / actor?! Huge apologies, Dolly.

[QUOTE=Elvis_Christ;682223]don't think I've seen Mos Def in anything....../QUOTE]



Mos Def was in Something the Lord Made with Alan Rickman. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do. Excellent movie.

[Elvis_Christ]

Body Of Evidence..... the best Basic Instinct clone that came out of the 90s
Desperately Seeking Susan was kinda cool (grew on me after sitting thru it with a bunch f different girlfriends over the years :) )

Ouch!! :eek:

[Elvis_Christ]

Did he not make it to the arc in time to be saved from the flood :)

[Doc Faustus]

I'm pretty fond of Elvis movie. There's nothing like them. Also, Paul Anka was in a hillarious semi-exploitation effort called Girlstown alongside Mamie Van Doren. It was a much funnier phenomenon in the 50's and early sixties and spawned lots of hillarious drivel. We wouldn't have the Giant Gila Monster if Hollywood wasn't trying to shove Don Sullivan down a reluctant America's throat. Rock stars now get to be in movies with dignity, and it's much less fun.

[hammerfan]

Nope, he didn't. Shame too, he was a good looking guy. :D

Just thought of two more: Marie Osmond and Donny Osmond

[Doc Faustus]

Those two make Fabian and Paul Anka look like Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten.
