Actors/actresses that play in a band as well?

[Toby]

Jumping on the Russel Crowe's band bandwagon : Do you know any other actors/actresses that play(ed) in a band?
A few come to mind:
Keanu Reeves.
Johnny Depp.
Jason Schwartzman.

More?

I'm not 100% certain about this but I think Johnny Depp plays guitar on a track on one of Oasis' albums.

Anyone know which track, or album?

Kevin Bacon is in a band with his brother. They're called The Fabulous Bacon Boys and they're actually good.

[Country1969]

Bruce Willis and his band, Accelerators.

Keanu Reeves and his band, Dogstar

The track is Fade In-Out on Be Here Now, he plays lead guitar on that one. Pretty well too, I might add.

Dennis Quaid has a band.

Johnny Depp and Russell Crowe both started out in show biz trying to start a music career first before having much bigger success in acting. Crowe is actually a bar band singer who happened to stumble upon a major acting career.

JACK BLACK is in the rock duo TENACIOUS D. Their single TRIBUTE is doing very well here in Australia. It's a top 5.

River Phoenix was in a band called "Alika's Attic" before he died.

John Stamos has played drums for the Beach Boys and toured with them

Corey Feldman is now lead singer in a band, though I don't know the name of it

That's from movie biz language. When you go in to do the looping in post production, they refer to the amount of tape used in feet. So if you're recording sounds for a fight scene, they may tell you to give them "thirty odd foot of grunts".

Jason Schwartzman's brother, Robert Schwartzman (or Robert Coppola; Robert Schwartman-Cage; Robert Carmine...whatever he's calling himself these days) is in a band called Rooney and they're actually good. Not great but good. And Robert was Michael in The Princess Diaries...

[Dark Minister]

Shawnee Smith was in a band called Fidollaho as the lead singer, but I don't know if they are still around or not

[Dr Martin Luther Loomis]

Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill, Little Nicky) was the original lead singer in Super Furry Animals.

[asyouwish530]

How many know that Chevy Chase was the original drummer for Steely Dan? Actually before they became Steely Dan, in a band called The Leather Canary and in another called Chameleon Church.

Very Good!!! (Major props daredevil) The band, formerly named Average Jo, now goes by Jonny Was. They are credited as West, Gould, and Fitzgerald on the "A Walk To Remember" soundtrack. Track 11 entitled "What Does It All Mean?" Awesome track . . . :)

Robert Schwartzman is Nicholas Cage's cousin and Francis Ford Coppola's nephew. Also, he is sometimes credited as Robert Carmine. (Although I don't know why. Perhaps a nod to Grandfather Carmine Coppola?)
