Snoop Dogg has found a good amount of success on the big screen and more recently, Ludacris has been making a bit of a name for himself in the movies.

Justin Timberlake, very bad actor.

Answer 4

Yes, Lindsay Lohan should definitely drop singing.

I think Frank Sinatra did both very well.

Elvis Presley was definitely a better singer than an actor.

Answer 6

actor became singer. it is tougher to make it contained in the song marketplace than that is to make it into the films once you're already favourite. in case you purely undeniable won't be able to sing you aren't to any extent further going to make it from the get pass. yet in case you could sing and also you change into favourite, you already created your own publicity from making a song, (lately further and extra) the casting directors hunt down pretty faces and favourite human beings on their own to fill roles. I propose, look at jessica simpson... the dukes of hazzard replaced right into a amazing action picture, yet she truly can't act. it is purely one party, there are various extra, and obviously, that's purely my opinion. i will see it both way in my opinion, yet i imagine making a song calls for extra expertise.
