Comments & Submittor Name
Patrick Stump Law & Order Stump played 'Marty Dressler' in the episode 'Darkness'. I think he was pretty good. - Amanda
Patti Page Elmer Gantry, Dondi, Boys' Night Out Like Connie Francis, a pop superstar of the Baby Boomer era who appeared in some largely forgettable films. At least she had a minor hit with the title song from "Boys' Night Out." But her real contribution to American pop culture remains her music. - Chris
Patty Duke Valley of the Dolls "Don't Just Stand There" would have been a disaster except for the heroics of the sound engineers who were able to cover up her obvious lack of singing talent. Subsequent releases would fall far short of her success with her first hit record. It is a good thing that she didn't quit her day job with the "Patty Duke Show" to become a full-time pop singer. - Barry Disbrow
Paul McCartney All the Beatles films and "Give My Regards To Broad Street". None of the Beatles would be considered master thespians. - beegles
Paul Simon One Trick Pony  - oldsongs
Phil Collins Miami Vice, Buster Along with having alot of his songs played throughout the series, he played in an episode called "Phil the Shill". Was also in a movie about a bank robber in the star role. - Brad Johnson
Phil Collins Buster I was surprised more by his cursing than his acting. - britrock
Placebo Velvet Goldmine Brian Molko of Placebo appeared briefly in Velvet Goldmine, as the lead singer of 'The Flaming Creatures', a glam rock band, covering T-Rex's '20th Century Boy'. Steve Hewitt, Placebo's Drummer, also played in The Flaming Creatures, and Stefan Ostall appeared as Polly Small's bassist. - MissPie
Pras Mystery Men, Feel the Noise, Turn It Up, Mutant Chronicles Not that good of an actor or rapper IMO - Michael Prymula
Prince Purple Rain; Under The Cherry Moon His Purpleness did a good job playing basically himself once--but not twice. - Agrimorfee
