I know about Ricky Gervais and Al Corley.
Anyone else who were Singers and also act?

I think Adam Ant had a pretty good run of bit parts in the late 80s, stuff like Nomad.

Sting sucked pretty bad in anything he touched - Dune, Brimstone & Treacle, The Bride, ugh!

A few off the top of my head...

Sting.
Rick Springfield.
Michael Hutchence.
Mick Jagger.
Ice-T.
Marky Mark Wahlberg.
Vanilla Ice.
Lemme.
Flea.
Donnie Wahlberg.
Ringo Starr.
Elvis Presley.
Liberace.
Roy Clark.
Kenny Rogers.
Dick Dale.
Meatloaf.
The Bee Gees.
Peter Frampton.
Diana Ross.
Michael Jackson.
Tina Turner.
Cher.
Elton John.
Irene Cara.
That guy from American Werewolf in London, who did that "Makin' It" song first.
Shawn Cassidy.
Roy Orbinson.
Tommy Lee. Hey, that sex video counts.
Isaac Hayes.
The Village People.
Olivia Newton-John.
Terri Nunn(although she was an actor first, she was better known for Berlin. Does that count?)
Donna Summer.
The Monkees. Sort-of.
Neil Diamond.

Well, you didn't say they had to be "GOOD" actors.[:D]

Debbie Harry, she probably did more but the one that i remember was Videodrome from the early 80's.

She was also in Hairspray.
And Iggy Pop was in another John Waters film, that one with Johnny Depp and that underage porno queen traci Lords. Was it called Cry Baby?
I swear the lead singer of Fine Young Cannibals was in at least one movie, but I can't remember what it was called or who else was in it.
Ricky Martin. Hey, he was in Menudu before General Hospital, so it counts.

The two brothers were in The Crays...you know, The Last of the Famous International Playboys.

The two Spandau Kemp brothers were also in [i]Sugartown[/i] , along with Duran Duran's John Taylor. Taylor has been in a few other movies, as well.

Rick Springfield
Madonna ! (altho it's easy to see why no-one would remember that she also tries to act, LOL)
Hazel O'Connor.
Bill Paxton.

and most recently, I see Jamie Foxx (who was excellent in [i]Collateral[/i]) appararently sings now, too.

Joe Strummer, in Jim Jarmusch's "Mystery Train"

Hutter, Roland Gift was in "Scandal"

Also,
E. G. Daily "Valley Girl" and others
Paul Simon

Martini Ranch with Actor Bill Paxton.

Phil Collins starred in an episode of Miami Vice.
And John Taylor did a cameo in another episode.
Frank Zappa ... Gene Simmons ... probably lots of other musicians in Vice.

Oh yeah, I was watching Airport 75 the other day and Helen Reddy was in it [:D].

Boy George was on the A-Team. Does this mean he's an actor, too? I mean, he acts like he has a career anymore. [:p]
