tune in ...droped out
 

Hey you have probably noticed that fenomen were a hot modell, musican, tv-reality and so on .......turns up in all the movies and then disappear...
Vanity......was in some movies
Cheech...all the Tarantino movies
Steven Tyler.....rocker with no acting skills
Snoop Dog and a bunch of other rapers
Cindy Crawford.....she was everywere

:eek: holy spelling errors batman!


Good observation. In pretty much every case, they are horrible actors and dont get asked back because they do a shit job of things.

Ever see Mick Jagger in Freejack? Holy christ, he was terrible.


Cheech is a bad example, though. he has been in dozens of movies since the late 70s, that hardly makes him a flash-in-the-pan like the others.

yeah, those rappers .... will smith, ice cube ..

they make one or two movies then they just seem to disappear.

Lets not forget

Bon Jovi
Mick Fleetwood
Mariah Carey
Bob Dylan
Lyle Lovett
Roger Daltry
Paul Simon



How about some singers and musicians who did prosper in the movie biz. or at the very least were pretty good.

Cher
Kris Kristofferson
the aforementioned Will Smith & Ice Cube
Tom Waits
Mark Wahlberg
Frank Sinatra

i'd say that singers acting have fared a lot better than actors singing.. although the crossover in each direction is hardly suprising ...
most people can act - given a clever director ... but most people cant sing .. you cant hide a bad voice for long.

I don't know....this guy is huge in Germany

Then you have this guy

HEY! You leave Shatner out of this.. um kay?:mad:
I never would have thunk Mr Waits was in so many movies. I just watched Coopla's Dracula the other night ago, and I never noticed that renfeild was waits. Thinking about it, I still don't really recognize him as renfeild. Im gonna have to call shananaginz.

Meatloaf is a guy who I think pulls of acting pretty well.... 51st State and Fight Club. Not many singers can these days.

don't forget spice world

pffftft whats that trash.

we keep trying to but you won't let us......


....once again, britain apologizes

at least in bare wench ... the wenches were bare :D

Eminem is next in line.;)

...and
Run Dmc
ZZ-top....yes its true
dont think that guy from "Outcast" Andre Benjamin gonna be a great movie star either

3000 will do a good job, I think, he's gonna make a sexy Jimmy Hendrix. Mos def is pretty decent..

I can see him with a afro and a guitar.

I doubt he'll make anymore movies. After 8 Mile (which I thought was boring as shit but he wasn't bad in), I don't think he's gonna do anymore.

Or let's hope.

Have Chealse Clinton been in some movie...maybe it as that porn movie :confused:

The worst of the lot is HENRY ROLLINS... failed skateboarder / failed singer / failed actor

what about Perry Farrell??
Gift
Although the song by John Frusciante "ants" was beautiful.


failed singer? you really think so?

What??

:) forget it....
HENRY ROLLINS...yeah havent heard from him lately ;)
LL cool j...I know he has played in a lot of movies...but it began because he was a well known raper..not because he was a good actor....and he never will be :p

he is better then busta, and ice-t

LOL


Hmm....... Sure hope not. :rolleyes: :p

ice cube... sexy man

Very weird and trashy movie that I haven't watched for years. I used to love it in high school when I was a huge Jane's Addiction fan. I like their version of "Don't call me nigger...." with Ice T and Ernie C. John Frusciante had some amazing songs, Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt is one of my all time favorite albums...... very underated music.

I would suggest the sond teack to that movie above any other

I didn't know they released a soundtrack for Gift. That would definatley be worth getting a copy of.

a couple more :

Adam Ant .... who was in several films
John Doe .. (From 'X' )
a number of musicians were in that coffee western (Joe Strummer, Elvis Costello, etc)
Courtney Love ... who isnt a bad actress at all ...

Jewel was in Ride with the Devil (ang lee film)

alex cox's straight to hell.........one strange film

yeah .. i only have an old dub on beta, love to see it again on DVD

got it free on dvd with a magazine i bought :D

geeze ! nice !

hmm looked him up...and he has played in a bunch of movies (most tv)...never been a Ant fan though

Rob Halford cracked me up in Spun..... NEVER try to fuck Mickey Rourke :p Billy Corgan turning up in that movie kinda ruined it for me tho someone should put that whining 'lil bitch outta his misery.

Lee Ving from Fear has had a couple of cool villan roles aswell. I watched Streets of Fire the other night and he turned up in that.

But yeh I think Tom Waits has already been mentioned I really enjoyed a lot of his preformances especially the Jim Jarmuch film Down By Law.

i forgot Lee Ving ..

he was in that movie Dudes as well ..about the punk kids in the country ...

That had Flea from the Chili Peppers in it to I think.
