Some real questionables on this list – you guys failed to list Jon Bon Jovi, who’s done some good work as well.

Boy, somebody missed the boat with Madonna and Kristofferson. Both extremely bad actors.

LEVON HELM!

I thought Alicia Keys was pretty good in “Smokin’ Aces,” but we’ll see where she goes from there.

I would also add Mickey Jones, the famous drummer (played for Dylan for a while) who has become a highly recognizable character actor.

Prince in Purple Rain

2Pac, a great actor.

Watch Juice

and can’t forget will smith, he went platinum and won a grammy before he ever started acting

where is frank sinatra on this list?

No Grace Jones, no sale. This list is made of FAIL and LOSE.

Madonna and Ringo ranked at all? How about Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton, Ludacris? Weak list Rolling Stone.

Madonna was great in Dick Tracy. Also in Desperately Seeking Susan, Evita and A League of their own.

Rappers makes better actors than Rockers. But Bowie in Labyrinth, what a ledge!

Gene Simmons in “Dead or Alive”

Yes, Bowie’s terrific in everything, and the thick white duke generally plays a strong supporting role.

What about Flea and the rest of the Chilli Peppers in the Chase?

What about Bob Dylan in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid?

What about Bob Dylan in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid?

Yet again Rolling Stone gives no credit to DAVE MATTHEWS (winn dixie, red fern, episode of house-awesome) They put these “legends” on the list even though they had a 2 minute part in a movie nobody has seen and was a hundred years ago….yet….i am not surprised, this is typical RS. The list should be BEST actor/musicians not oooooo ringo was a beatle and in a shitty movie called caveman!!!

Sorry Marty J Rappers are probably the worst actors around (minus will smith and mos def) they cant act so they get typecasted into the “thug” role constantly. Look at Soul Plane…there is my point.

what about mick jagger performance,Ned kelly ,Free Jack and the stones in the park best film ever

Didn’t Arlo Gutherie earn an Oscar for “Alice’ Restaurant”?

come one what about mark whalberg, not much of a singer but an amazing actor!

Mark Wahlberg?

How about Pearl Jam in “Singles?!”
Ha – brilliant cardboard cutout acting!

mos def

Other great roles by Chili Peppers:

Flea in Back to the Future – Needles!
Anthony Kiedis in Point Break

yea this list was kinda skimped… really no Mark Wahlberg??? thats just strange considering he’s now an Oscar nominated actor… other notables, Prince in Purple Rain, Eminem in 8 mile, Dolly Parton (in anything), Frank Sinatra in From Here to Eternity, and who can forget Mariah Carey in Glitter? ok maybe not her…

Um…Bette Midler! Duh!

Can you say “Don Johnson” anyone ?!

Can you say “Don Johnson” anyone ?!
