    I'm watching Dune right now and Sting's role made me think about all of the musicians that have played great roles in movies during the years.

    I'd say that Meatloaf in Fight Club is probably my favorite. Sting does a great job in Dune, David Bowie was fantastic in Labrynth, and Dwight Yoakam was a great bad guy in Panic Room.

    Any others?

    Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore, but he is really more of a full-time actor now.

    Meatloaf? Seriously? He was MADE from a movie.

    Although Im not fond of all his music. I thought Tupac did a good job in Juice and that other movie where he's a single father and mailman...dont know the name. I thought I saw Dave Matthews in 'Chuck and Larry'.

    Tupac in Juice. If Pac never died, he'd be the probably be the best and most successful Musician-Actor.
