Given the sad news of the death of Davy Jones and Whitney Houston who are the other musicians who have had a stab at acting. (yes, I know Jones was an actor before he was a musician)
And were they any good?
Elvis
Sting
Paul Simon
Bowie
Cher
Dolly Parton

Ray Davies: was in a great TV play called The Long Distance Piano Player. Been a while since I saw it, but I thought he had acting talent:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x320Zh3apQ
