How many musicians can TBers think of who've appeared in TV/films.
There's been Alex Lifeson in Trailer Park Boys, Dave Mustaine in Duck Dodgers (a cartoon but he did the voice so it counts) and that's all I can think of.
Anyone else?

| | | | Too many to name...like how about the crew in The Blues Brothers? Ray Charles, Duck Dunn, Steve Jordan (also in Jumping Jack Flash), Steve Cropper, Lou Marini, Aretha Franklin. Matt Murphy, etc.
An obvious one-
Alice Cooper- Wayne's World
A couple a bit more obscure-
Stanley Jordan- Blind Date (Jordan plays himself...maybe the movie is obscure)
Stephen Bishop- Animal House (Belushi smashes Bishop's guitar during the Toga Party)
Robert Cray- Animal House (Cray plays the bassist in Otis Day & The Knights)

Anthony Kiedis in Point Break...as a surf/beach thug.
How about Snoop Dog & Macy Gray in Training Day.
