Do you know of any well known singers who also were in movies?

[Bretrick]

Glenn Shorrock was the lead singer in the original Australian group - Little River Band.
He recently had a headline role in the 2022 Australian film, A Stitch in Time
I watched this movie last night. Loved it.
An elderly lady, married to a bit of a tyrant husband finally has had enough.
She leaves him and reignites her passion for dress making.
A touching and moving movie. Both sad and happy tears welled a few times.

Kris Kristofferson comes to mind. He's one of my all time favorites.

Just saw this literally a second ago.

Harry Connick, Jr. is in a new movie on Netflix called Find Me Falling.

I just found out about it on a Kelly Clarkson interview. Haven't seen the movie yet. I'm looking forward to it now.
