What celebrity who started as an actor and then switched to music was the very BEST, and had the most success (if you get what I mean)? I am blanking out on this, but I imagine there are quite a few. It seems there are a ton the other way around (singers who went on to decent acting careers). Or am I just wrong, and there aren't any?

In retrospect, I'm glad it didn't happen. (I heard his CD...mmmmm-hmmm....). Not great. I think it would have been one of those decent-paying-but-life-sucking gigs. I'm glad the final call never came through in this case. Didn't Keanu Reeves have some crappy band as well? Dog Star? And let's not forget Juliette (Lewis) and the Licks. (Although they at least had one killer tune, surprisingly enough.) Greg Douglass Dave Rosen wrote: Well, it's cool that he was a Famous Monsters fan but, gad, what a sulky baby! Another movie star playing at being a working musician (like Russell Crowe, Bruce Willis, etc and of course, most notoriously, Joaquin Phoenix). These guys would NEVER be able to front a band and their bands would NEVER get this kind of pr if it wasn't for their movie careers.
