| Hugh Dillon | Degrassi The Next Generation | Played an abusive father, Albert Manning, to Jake Epstien's character Craig in Degrassi: The Next Generation. - Celeste | ||
| Patrick Stump | Law & Order | Stump played 'Marty Dressler' in the episode 'Darkness'. I think he was pretty good. - Amanda | ||
| Roger Daltery | Infomercial for a rock and roll album collection. | It is kind of sad to see this. - Wade Brock | ||
| Alanis Morissette | Dogma | She appears for a short time in Dogma as God. - Julie | ||
| Talking Heads/David Byrne | Stop Making Sense and True Stories | Stop Making Sense has been praised as one of the greatest concert films ever made. (I agree, too.) Directed by Jonathan Demme, its a cool concert movie. True Stories was Byrne's attempt at directing a movie, which is set in imaginary Virgil, Texas. -HeadsFan - HeadsFan | ||
| Faith Hill | Stepford Wives | stinko movie, Faith, don't quit the day job - Jjscott | ||
| Tim McGraw | Friday Night Lights, Flicka | Excellent job as the abusive dad in Friday Night Lights - Jjscott | ||
| George Strait | Pure Country | Played "Dusty", a country singer. Spawned the hit, "I Cross My Heart" basically played himself, pretty wooden performance - JJscott | ||
| Creed Bratton | The Office | The former Grass Roots guitarist plays Creed (who else?) in the U.S. version of "The Office". - Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Olivia Newton-John | Grease; Xanadu | Olivia was my favorite singer in the 80's and she played her part in Grease expertly. One of my favorite movies... - Terri-Ann | ||
| McFly | Just My Luck | Yes, the whole band, as you know, got a role in the film...though their acting as a whole barely scrapes believable, each individual person managed to get away with being convincing at certain points - Cait Sith | ||
| Jason Bonham | Rock Star | Dumb movie, but I'm sure many people liked it. Jason of course is the SON of the late great John Bonzo Bonham of Led Zeppelin. Jason plays a drummer in this movie, which in real life he is a drummer and taught by the best! His DAD. He will be drumming for the upcoming Led Zeppelin Reunion Gig at the O2 Arena in London. Dec. 10th, 2007. It's actually a Charity Event, but Jimmy Page himself stated in Guitar World/Player...recently. He'd like to perform a few more shows, otherwise why let the genie out of the bottle at all. AND THAT is NOT his exact words. My apologies. I don't have the article handy. - ZepFan | ||
| Robert Plant | American Masters: Atlantic Records The House that Ahmet Built | Excellent watch. Aired on PBS and can be purchased on DVD. - ZepFan | ||
| Led Zeppelin | The Song Remains The Same | What's to say? The original was OK, given the times, but the NEW release will be most awesome! - ZepFan | ||
| Jimmy Page | Blow Up | Jimmy Page as himself with The Yardbirds. The movie is circa 1966. Neither good or bad. Who am I to judge? - ZepFan | ||
| Alanis Morrisette | You Can't Do That On Television | She only lasted a few episodes before she trotted off to do her own thing. Frankly I think she was better off because look at where she's at now. - Celeste |
