Lots of singers try their hand at acting. Some are pretty good and some are horrid.
Cher and Justin Timberlake are examples of the ones who pull it off. Any examples of others that succeeded or failed?

I once karaoke’d and acted like I could sing. Does that count? If it does?

Sheryl Crow, Robert Plant, Sam Bush, Buddy Miller, Steve Earl, Larry Campbell, John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris, and Allison Krauss. Couple others I can not think of now and the biggest stars did not go on movie or credits for some reason. One of the best shows of my life and I have seen some great ones. Note that the Ryman is the original church turned into the Grand Ole Opry for those who may not know and I highly recommend taking in a show there. We make pilgrimage once a year.

Mick Jagger has been offered many times to play the devil in films but has always declined.
But he did do others. The water tastes funny when you're far from your home, yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam. Roam the Jungle !

Can never leave off my all-time favorite rock n roller Levon Helm who was stellar in Coal Miners Daughter.
His singing voice has so much soul in it and accounts for most all of The Band's best songs. The water tastes funny when you're far from your home, yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam. Roam the Jungle ! |
