15 Musicians That Successfully Became Actors

???? Wellllll… you get down the fiddle and you get down the bow and you go, “hmmm, is this all there is?” and you make your agent get you auditions. Some people can have it all and by that I mean a musical career and then also an acting one.

Hi there. Do you ever feel listless in this world, having no supreme talent or skill to build your dreams around? No one here can relate. Mark Wahlberg is the one that has to go in there and be a rapper (meh), underpants model, and the best actor who has ever fought Reese Witherspoon’s dog. Not you, not you, and not you! From staples of queer cultures like Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, and Lady Gaga to staples of straight culture like… I already said Mark Wahlberg? Oh. We’ll Viva some Las Vegas with Elvis Presley and tell our cabby to head to Bel Air with modern icon Will Smith. If you wanna get weird, don’t you worry, David Bowie and Tom Waits are here to take on film roles as strange as their musical personas and if you like a little bit sassy, a little bit sweet, Dolly Parton will pour you up a cup of ambition. Ice T and Ludacris will hop off the mic and onto the streets for crime or crime adjacent content. Harry Styles and Mandy Moore will not only survive puberty, they’ll launch their dual careers off of it and gospel trained vocalist Jennifer Hudson will lose American Idol to win big in Broadway adaptations and Broadway itself, and Jennifer Lopez will have all of us willing to do anything for Selenas.
