Know Your Role: Musicians Who Tried Acting

 

Film Club Rule #47: Musicians who act should avoid the Elvis trap.

In the wake of losing two of pop music’s titans this year, Jeff, Heather, and Rusty thought it fitting to consider musicians who tried acting starting with David Bowie and Prince. We talk about musicians who enjoyed the crossover success like Bowie and discuss pop stars who maybe missed the mark like Michael Jackson. What makes a good actor? Why is it so difficult for musicians who perform all the time to make that inner thespian work on film? Jeff and Heather also consider the careers of Elvis, Tom Waits, Cher, Beyonce and more.
