So the TV show's about music have really been taking some heat
as well as the biopic and other movies
So for me there are a few movies I've really liked that were about music/scene
I'm sure there are a few I'm missing, but OTTOMH
Fiction:
Hedwig

Once (well not really an actor?)
Singles
This is Spinal Tap
Fictional History:
Velvet Goldmine
I'm not there
BioPic
Not one is coming to mind...Doors, Ray, Cash, Get On Up...all really kinda sucked. For a moment I like them, but none have really stood the test of time
Maybe: 24 Hour Party People
Fiction TV
Flight of the Conchords
Tenacious D

I once saw River Phoenix and his sister Rain's band. They weren't half bad. Also saw Jason Schwartzman play drums with Phantom Planet at the Black Cat.
Billy Bob Thornton, Kevin Costner and Minnie Driver have all played Birchmere.

Kevin Bacon. The end.
-
William Shatner
Leonard Nimoy

Oh yeah, saw them briefly, for free.

Zooey Deschanel
Russell Crowe

A Mighty Wind
CBGB - on my Netflix queue, haven't watched yet. Alan Rickman as Hilly sounds promising, but Taylor Hawkins as Iggy is disturbing, especially as I understand it Iggy never actually played the club

Eddie And The Cruisers- nice, hadn't thought about that for years, but a great faux rock story
My original post had Josie & The Pussycats and I edited it out, but I glad to see it made it twice
but I wasn't even thinking the Eddie Murphy/Bruce Willis/Jas Swartzman/Shatner
I was more thinking of actors playing musicians, not actors trying to be musicians
and LVL UP is an odd inclusion here, was just about to add them to the 'listenin' thread
they are awesome and besides Whitney, my summer of 2016 band

Michael J. Fox "Light of Day" w/ Joan Jett

what about acting by musicians? jared leto, henry rollins, david bowie, ice cube, etc etc etc...

The inclusion was not odd, as it was from a compilation series of real bands playing fake bands' songs.

Jared Leto starred in a tv show long before his band released an album.

Jared Leto starred in a tv show long before his band released an album.
That is why he made my list of actors turned musicians.
Though Jared did play music from a young age, he did not do it professionally for almost a decade after he started acting.
Actors: Hugh Laurie, Bruce Willis, Keanu Reeves, Jared Leto

juliette lewis puts on a solid rawk show
hedwig & the angry inch has quietly inched its way to the upper levels of my all-time favorite movie list

Well I didn't mean odd in that way, more that I'd just come across them and were really starting to dig them....a thread about music by actors was the last place I'd think to see them referenced
I do love Juliette Lewis singing 'born bad' in NBK

I couldn't finish it. And I can watch a lot of things...

I finished it.
What is the point of the women on stage with guitars (other than to be pretty)? The Roland and laptop; yes. Guitar and bass? No. I cant hear any sound made by guitar in that horrible song.

only because they didn't focus on the angels sufficiently.
