[HacheMan]

Name some candidates who were musical performers (or still are) that have done acting and stand out above others who have done the same...

Tom Waits, Mark Wahlberg, Harry Connick Jr, Dwight Yokum. I like all of their work as actors.

Mandy Moore, Will Smith, Marky mark, Ludacris, LL Cool J, Queen Latifa, Ice Cube

Really like Ice Cube.

If one didn't know already, no way you could ever guess he used to be a performer with many big rap-artists...

Barbara Streisand

Good one..didn't think of her immediately, but she is definitely a good actress.
On the flip side of the question, I think Scarlett Johansson (hot) is an excellent singer.

Barbara Streisand

Good one..didn't think of her immediately, but she is definitely a good actress.

Forgot about her too....She might be the best of all.

Very good in those Meet The Fockers movies ha...

There are a few reasons I find it hard to turn away from Dolly Parton on a big screen.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner!

 

[joebatters]

Gregg Allman in Rush. perfect casting.

Are you serious? Gregg Allman was in a movie? I never knew that and I was a huge Allman Brothers fan. I gotta check this out.

 

[GoSooners]

Gregg Allman in Rush. perfect casting.

He was a badass in that movie. And it didn't look like he was acting.

He was a badass in that movie. And it didn't look like he was acting.

100% agreement.

...I'm not a fan of Madonna but have to admit she was pretty good in League of their own.
