Music Trivia -> Singers Who Act -> C
All too often, a performer gets it into their head that now they've reach some margin of fame in a band, they can also act! Some make the leap ok like Will Smith, others like Vanilla Ice are best left forgotten.
Name | Notable Song Credits | Comments & Submittor Name | ||
| C-Murder | I'm Bout It, Da Game Of Life, Hot Boyz, Undisputed | - Michael Prymula | ||
| Cam'ron | Paid In Full, Killa Season, Paper Soldiers, State Property | - Michael Prymula | ||
| Celine Dion | Des fleurs sur la neige | This was a Quebecois TV miniseries from 1991, which Celine starred in just as her English-language singing career was taking off (with "Where Does My Heart Beat Now"). She also played herself on an episode of "Touched By An Angel." Her acting is rather wooden (very unlike her singing) but I've seen worse. - Chris | ||
| Cher | Moonstruck, Suspect: Silkwood, Mermaids, Witches Of Eastwick | Seems to have better success in films with one word in their title. - sherock | ||
| Chino XL | Crime Partners 2000, Barrio Wars, Gang Warz, Vatos, The Beat, Playas Ball, Yuong Cesat | - Michael Prymula | ||
| Chris Brown | The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (Disney Channel) | He was a guest star in TSL for London Tipton's web show, 'Yay Me'. Maddie gets Chris while Cody (the producer of the show) got the Cheetah Girls. YouTube has a few videos of the episode... - Jaz | ||
| Chris Brown | Stomp The Yard, The O.C., This Christmas | Unlike his HUGE roles in music, his roles in movies and TV are rather minor, which is kind of a shame. - Rocky Mak | ||
| Cliff Edwards | Pinocchio, Dumbo | Excellent in Pinocchio, good Duke imitation in Dumbo - Alan of Seville | ||
| Connie Francis | Where The Boys Are, Follow the Boys, When the Boys Meet the Girls | I love Connie's singing but she isn't much of an actress (which she herself admits). Then again, no one ever said those '60s beach movies made for Oscar-worthy performances. The most memorable thing about "Where the Boys Are" is (surprise, surprise) Connie's beautiful performance of the hit title song. - Chris | ||
| Coolio | Dear God, The Convent, Submerged, Judgment Day, China Strike Force, Stealing Candy, Red Water, Code Hunter, Grad Night, Pterodactyl, Exposed, Move | - Michael Prymula | ||
| Courtney Love | The People vs Larry Flint, Feeling Minnesota, Basquiat, Man on the Moon | Courtney only had bit parts in Basquiat and Feeling Minnesota but she had a full part in The People vs Larry Flint and Man on the Moon and garnered acclaim as an actress. - Celeste | ||
| Courtney Love | Straight to Hell | Courtney Love first set eyes on Kurt Cobain at an event I like to call "Wrestlemania Portland", an event I will describe if I find a relevant post. However, Kurt first saw Courtney in this Alex Cox movie starring Joe Strummer and Elvis Costello. Kurt watched the film with a friend, Damon Romero, who pointed at an actress and said, "Hey, there's the girl from that band down in Portland [Hole]." This woman was Courtney Love. - Jakko Wakko | ||
| Creed Bratton | The Office | The former Grass Roots guitarist plays Creed (who else?) in the U.S. version of "The Office". - Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Curt Smith | Private Public | This is a movie that he starred in that his friend wrote. - Celeste | ||
| Cyndi Lauper | Mad About You | Won an emmy in 1995 for performance - qua006 |
