Which country star made the best transition to acting??

Question

There's a bunch of them that did, which is the best?
Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakom, Willie Nelson, Travis Tritt, Reba, Toby Keith, Tim Mcgraw, George Strait, The Judds, Billy Ray, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Others??
I tend to think Randy Travis, and Travis Tritt did the best, but George Strait, did a beautiful job in "Pure Country" even though a lot of it was singing. What do you think??

Good answers, I hadn't even thought about the old cowboy movies, although Roy Rogers even though he was like the king of Country was more an actor then a singer. he made over 200 movies not to mention his tv shows, and i don't think he was ever really on tour. But a great person. Reba seems to be a pretty popular choice, and she has one of the funniest shows on TV, but it doesn't really look like hard part to play, there is not a whole lot of dramatic acting skill needed to play that part, and I don't think she ever did any movies. I tend to sway towards:

Randy Travis in Texas Rangers, small part and like 3 lines but his facial expression was perfect.

George Strait, even though his acting maybe wasn't perfect, the movie was SO moving and without his songs and him in it they wouldn't have been able to pull it off.

Travis Tritt generally does a good job in all the movies i've seen him in, although sometimes it seems forced some.
and Willie and Dolly are ussually pretty good.

Answer 1

Reba!!

Answer 2

i think reba has probably made the best. she's done so many movies and then her tv show was a hit. annie get your gun, which she also starred in was a huge hit on broadway. randy travis i don't think was the best actor. for me he doesn't seem real in the character he's playing, but that's just my opinion. tim mcgraw is an okay actor. he seems to have become more of an actor and put his singing career on the back burner. he is very versatile in his movie characters though. george strait was awesome in pure country. he reminded me of kenny rogers in the gambler. kris kristofferson was also amazing. in my opinion he's up there in with reba. i loved toby keith in broken bridges too. dolly parton's also good but she only plays herself in movies, which is a downfall in my opinion. but she was great in steel magnolias. overall i think reba and kris did the best.

Answer 3

It would have to be the following: Willie Nelson, Billy Ray Cirus, Reba McIntire, Dolly, Kenny and Randy Travis.

Answer 4

I love George Strait more than anyone in the world, but Reba McEntire does the best acting. She has a weekly show, not just a one time wonderful movie. She's really funny in her weekly show. I did hear that it has been cancelled, but she's been on for a few years. My vote goes for Reba.

Answer 5

Reba and Dolly Parton
Each are very funny!

I also like some of Dwight Yoakam's work.
George Strait isn't a very good actor. He makes up for it with his singing though.

Answer 6

Willie Nelson

Answer 8

Yes there where some that have gone into acting and I think they all did there best, But for me Reba has done alot more and I enjoy her sense of humor, Everybody have experienced loss in their life, Reba has not lost herself in her grief and she has come back even more so!! What a wonderful human being she is. God Bless her. She is a great role model for women today!!!
