Singers who are also Actors...

[DJ Wave]

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

[Frau_Blucher]

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...

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

[hutter]

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.

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]
