Has there ever been a better musician turned actor than Phil Collins?

[TomcatMF]

gene played a pretty believable terrorist in "Wanted: Dead or Alive" with Rutger Hauer

I loved the end of that movie.

"Fuck the bonus!"

KABOOM!

 

[Tig]

We know of one who certainly didn't make the list.

 

[Andrew Sak]

Mark & Donnie Wahlberg.

 

[Motorik]

Dwight Yoakam was on the ball in When Trumpets Fade as well. Ice cool and very credible performance.

Chris Isaak earns cool points for being one of the swat guys in Silence of the Lambs. He had like one line, I think, and I didn't even notice it was him the first time I saw it.

Dwight Yoakam was really good in Panic Room too as a horrible, horrible man.

Oh my God yes, that's like Waingro's equally disturbed twin.

"Your rate never goes up, and your coverage never goes down. No matter how many claims you have."

Oh my God yes, that's like Waingro's equally disturbed twin.

Oh shit! You're absolutely right! That never occurred to me, but now in my headcanon they're brothers. Two vile men.

Guys… we seemingly have fallen off the track….Phil is the only option by shear number of roles. He obviously has the talent which is why he repeatedly offered roles

Creed Bratton

Could you be smoking so much pot that you think he's Jason Statum?

I have no idea who that is

Exactly.

 

[Bones McHorror]

Phil Collins was a child actor who had a role as the Artful Dodger in Oliver.

That's Vladimir Putin.

 

[DdBob]

Exactly.

Likewise I have no idea what "exactly" means in this context

Spoiler alert. Phil Collins kills the shark in the end.

 

[Bones McHorror]

Phil Collins was also in GTA Vice City Stories.

 

[xStonr]

That's Vladimir Putin.

Vladimir was Phil's understudy.

 

[MonkeyZero]

Wow.... not even in my top 10.


I'd have to really think to sort them into some kind of order.... but off the top of my head, musicians who became actors:

Steven Van Zandt - You forgot how fucking good he was on the Sopranos, didn't you?

Bette Midler

Mandy Patinkin

Jennifer Hudson

Mandy Moore

Harry Connick Jr.

Lady Gaga

And I would even put Justin Timberlake, Will Smith AND Marky-Mark Walburg on that list before Phil Collins.

This is pretty much my list except Will Smith. Screw that guy.
