Mick Jagger's had a bit of a go his performance in erm "Performance" was not too bad.

Mark Walhberg has done some ok films

Most singers turned actors I can think of are pretty awful (Sting, Kylie, Whitney, Britney!)

Martin Kemp?

[Ward-Minter]

I think Kylie was an actress first.

[Ward-Minter]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Patsy Kensitt, she's alright

[Ward-Minter]

Frank Sinatra was ok aswell. There are quite a lot when you think about it.

[Ward-Minter]

Bette Midler she can act.

[unruliejulie]

Bette Middlers the dogs whatsits! My favourite actress. Brilliant singer too! Was she an actress or a singer first though, i thought actresss?

[plopalog]

[Ward-Minter]

She was a singer first. I am pretty sure.

Phil Collins was good in Buster, and Dean Martin was a fine actor if you ignore the awful films with Jerry Lewis and the Matt Helm drivel from the '60s.

[littleoldme]

Critics raved about Bjork's acting performance in the tragedy Dancer In The Dark, but she has said it was a one-off project and she would be going back to her ear-splitting caterwauling - sorry - singing career.

I think David Essex was an actor before he was a singer, though he was into music being a drummer in a band in the 60's. Elvis was good in his first film, Love Me Tender, in which the only song he sang was the title track (though it did feature in the film), but it all went rapidly downhill after that.
