Rock Stars that also act....

Love to see Michael Lee Aday/Meatloaf in movies, he's a good actor-he was good in "Fight Club" and a creepy movie
called "Blacktop".

Jon Bon Jovi was charismatic in "Pay it Forward", and I thought Cher was absolutely wonderful in "Silkwood."

others?

Gene Simmons. He is great at playing creepy guys. Go figure. :shock:

Yeah, there's a bunch of them that had done it over the years. Like in the movie "Grease." So far though, this is something that other countries do more then in the U.S. Like for instance the movie "Black Rain", the Japanese motorcyclist who dies in the movie when crashing into a big rig is a famous rock guitarist. It's pretty much a guarantee that you will see famous singers and/or musicians play a serious role in big movies over in Japan. They also get famous athletes like boxers and such involved in movies as well. In doing this, they attract more then an audience made up of just people who like strictly a specific actor/actress or a movie. They will attract the fanbase of all people who are featured in the movie.

Like if SP was to play a role in an upcoming movie, I'm sure that his fanbase (besides people who just go out to watch movies for entertainment) would be very interested to go see the movie regardless of it's plot, plus perhaps purchase a copy of the movie as well. So it's a great marketing strategy for the movie industry as well.

Justin Timberlake ("Black Snake Moan", "Southland Tales"), and just about any pop-tart from Britney to J-Lo to Mandy Moore to Jessica Simpson to Janet Jackson. "Musicians" of this ilk are brand names -- not artists, IMO.

Sting in 1984 DUNE just wearing undies seems cool or what?

I once had a girlfriend that had a love for all things Jon Bon Jovi, and all things vampire.

I surprised her with a movie that had JBJ as a vampire hunter in it, and watched it with her.

DAMN that was a good night.

David Bowie was in many films. Besides "The Hunger" and "Labyrinth", he also had roles in these movies:

Absolute Beginners- 1986
Basquiat- 1996
Just A Gigolo- 1979
The Last Tempation Of Christ- 1988
Linguini Incident- 1991
The Man Who Fell To Earth- 1976
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence- 1983
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me- 1992
Artur et les Minimoys- 2006 Voice for English version
