Celebrities who play bass

Sign in to disble this ad
I know there was an old thread somewhere, with a lot of expired links to photos, I tried looking for it and could not find it.

I remember the following celebrities:

Keanu Reeves



Wes Studi



Gary Sinise



Mike Huckabee



Ok, who am I forgetting?

Let's try to keep this rolling with updated photos!

Everyone probably already knows this one, but Randy Jackson (currently a judge on American Idol) is also a bassist.

He was always a bassist. He made a living as a bassist for many years!

Oh yeah, RJ is one of the greatest studio bassists around, but it shows that making a fool of yourself weekly judging a karaoke show brings in more dough than playing bass.

I am still on the lookout for a Peavey RJ IV, his sig bass.

Just realized Wes Studi plays a Peavey Foundation. Could not find a better photo...

Ok, here is the old thread:

Pix of Actors that are bassists

Here are some photos I could save from it:

The Dude (one of my favorite actors, snubbed FOUR TIMES by the Oscars)



Harry Shearer



Hulk Hogan



Lester Holt



Vincent Gallo



The Depp



Montel Williams



Now, who can find a photo of Colin Hanks (Tom's son) playing bass?

I think that there are quite a few actors that are musicians, just not a ton of them out there that play bass. Clint Eastwood, Dustin Hoffman, and Andy Garcia are pretty good examples of that. Is Colin Hanks an actor at all? I don't know him, but if he plays bass-that's great!

He was in Untraceable and in The House Bunny. He's got something big coming up. He is a decent actor, actually.
