Top 5 Musicians That Also Act Movies In Hollywood 2013 - Best Singers Turned Hollywood Actors/Actresses

TOP 5 CELEBRITY SINGERS THAT ALSO ACT MOVIES IN HOLLYWOOD.

Some say "Jack of all trade master of none" while others say people people who engage themselves in more than one career or profession are doing so because they lack focus. Today i will take you through reviewing a list of famous personalities in hollywood who have scaled through two difficult industries in U.S.A's entertainment industry in recent years and still have amazing success stories to tell. The two industries which i refer to are the music industry and the movie industry (hollywood) which are very tasking and highly competitive. Now let's take a look at the top 5 musicians in the U.S who also act in movies.

1. Will Smith

    Top movies: Independence Day, Fresh Prince of Bel Air

He proved to be much more than just a rapper and obviously went on to have a massively successful film career. He’s one of the most well-known actors around and, to be honest, is still one of my favorites. He can make a bad movie good and a good movie great.

2. Justin Timberlake

    Top movies: Two Smoking Barrels, Quadrophenia

Justin was never a stranger to acting; he got his start on the Mickey Mouse Club, which married acting with singing and dancing. But when he started up with the boy band ‘NSYNC, it was clear his path was going to be down the music route. With his falsetto and dashing good looks, it was no surprise that he became a megastar. But it’s been many years since he brought sexy back, and he said many times that he had started to enjoy acting more, leaving all of us worried he may never return. But he has returned, with his soulful falsetto and pretty hair in tow.

3. Mos Def

    Top Movies: Be Kind Rewind, The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Most people know of Mos Def as a musician. He is a favorite hip hop artist to many, but I think he a pretty talented actor. Hip Hop has a lot of theatrics in it and he is a great performer. He did a great job opposite Jack Black in Michel Gondry’s flawed, but creative Be Kind Rewind. But I have to say one of the best things he’s done were his  appearances on The Chappelle Show.

4. Tim McGraw

     Top Movies: The Blind Side, Friday Night Lights

I was surprised to see Tim McGraw acting in  Friday Night Lights and killing it! He was as good in The Blind Side, and even though he sort of played a similar character (Southern football loving guy), I was very impressed with his acting chops. I hope he keeps it up!

5. Madonna

    Top Movies: A League of Their Own, Dick Tracy

No female artist has had as much influence as Madonna, at least not during her heyday. She won a Golden Globe for her role in Evita, but most people probably know her best for role as “All The Way May” in A League of Their Own. Madonna is no stranger to playing different characters, seeing as how she “reinvented” herself year after year, giving us a different Madonna for every album she put out. My favorite role of hers was “Breathless Mahoney” in comic strip-based noir Dick Tracy. She was perfect for the part, pulling off the effortlessly sexy lounge singer/mob girlfriend.
