Dare you forget his epic portrayal of the villian Luther in "Runaway", with Tom Selleck. Ah, 1984.

anyway...

i believe Evan Seinfeld from Biohazard has appeared in some, ah, specialist interest films lately.

Sting was in Dune. In a rubber corset.

Keith Richards (yes he was a bassist too, i'll fight anyone who says otherwise) was in Pirates of Caribbean, the last one.
Evan Seinfeld was rather compelling in HBO's Oz.

John Entwistle in Tommy.

(And not bassists, but Roger Daltrey had a good stint of an acting career, and Keith Moon was in Stray Cats(?))

Micheal Cera does some occasional bassing in public and is in the movies "Nick and Nora's infinite playlist" and "Scott Pilgrim" where he plays a bassist as well.

Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden was in "Singles," but only for a few shots where you can hardly see him.

It's funny, I read somewhere how he was complaining about the filming of the scene the band was in. It apparently took an extremely long time, and when he saw the final result he was disappointed with it and how he was hardly visible.

John Cowan

John Cowan, (New Grass Revival, The Doobie Brothers, etc.) has been in several movies. Alien, The Heart Of Dixie, Tanner '88, The Billy Graham movie, and some others I can't think of. He actually had lines in some.

One of the few pieces of film with both Beck & Page in The Yardbirds...looks like Dreja on bass.
