He's been in a ton of movies and is also in 30 Seconds to Mars. Movies include Requeim for a Dream, Lord of War, Fight Club, American Psyhco. Lots of others.

Eddie Murphy has had a music hit and lots of hit movies (even though I think the recent ones blow).

Michael Buble has done a little film.
I'm not sure, but I think Harry Connick Jr. has as well.

Miley Cyrus

Sad but probably true. Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan are others that have done music and acted. They all sucked. I did like Scarlett Johanson singing in this Pete Yorn song.

I would say Will Smith, Frank Sinatra and Elvis are the top Musician/Actors

dunno what the criteria are but jennifer lopez comes to mind. she got paid big bucks for movies for a few years and had at least one #1 chart hit i think. was she good at either? not really but she got a big ass. i guess along the same lines pdiddy or any rapper like 50cent who has made movies could be named. or we could veer off into a tupac lovefest thread if we wanted but id not label these people musicians. we could go the opposite direction and list harry connick jr.

leto was dame good in requiem for a dream(so was connelly) but a quick youtube scan of his music didnt impress me at all

I've heard live and acoustic stuff from them online and never heard anything off about it. He might very well be a dick but I haven't heard anyone say anything but good things thats saw the live show. I'm not a big enough fan to go check them out live so I don't have a personal opinion other than stuff I've heard online.

Forgot about Will Smith. I'm pretty sure I still know the Fresh Prince theme song by heart.
