Posted February 16, 200817 yr I'll start it off: Lewis Collins (The Professionals) was in the Mojos who had a 1964 top 10 with Everything's Alright Peter Noone (played Len Fairclough's son in Corrie) and was lead singer with international hit makers Herman's Hermits Davy Jones (played Ena Sharples grandson in Corrie) and became famous in The Monkees.
February 17, 200817 yr Martin Kemp (played Steve Owen in Eastenders) was in Spandau Ballet. Wendy Richard (Pauline Fowler of Eastenders) had vocals on the 1962 #1 "Come Outside" by Mike Sarne.
February 17, 200817 yr Bruce Willis had a short career in the mid-80s. Jennifer Lopez claims to be both an actress and a singer but there's little evidence of either.
February 18, 200817 yr Nick Berry had a #1 and a #2 Anthony Newley had a load of hits in the early 60s Peter Sellers had a few hits (A Hard day's Night, Goodness Gracious Me) Can we count Patsy Kensit as she was part of Eighth Wonder.
February 18, 200817 yr Bands Gary Holton (Auf Wiedersehen Pet was lead singer of Heavy Metal Kids) Gary Kemp (Spandau Ballet / The Krays) Keanu Reeves (Dogstar) Solo Jimmy Nail Clint Eastwood Telly Savalas Clive Dunn Kylie Dannii Jason Donovan Stefan Dennis
February 18, 200817 yr Keanu Reeves (Dogstar) Mate, the title of the thread is "actors who had hits with bands".. About the only 'hits' the dreadful Dogstar had were the hits the crowd gave them when they got pelted with bottles of p*** and mud at the Reading Festival..... :lol:
February 19, 200817 yr Don Johnson had a solo hit of sorts, with Heartbeat...Patrick Swayze had a hit of sorts as well with She's Like the Wind... Eddie Murphy sang lead vocals for a Rick James song, Party All the Time....dunno how big a hit this was, though...
February 26, 200817 yr Author Sorry but solo singers are not counted - only as a member of a hit band counts.
March 1, 200817 yr Jennifer Lopez claims to be both an actress and a singer but there's little evidence of either :lol: Sorry but solo singers are not counted - only as a member of a hit band counts. so does Luke Goss from Charlie, Hellboy 2 and Blade 2 count, he's been solo and in a band as well... http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/medias/nmedia/18/35/11/88/hellboy_p1.jpg ...the band of thieves (band of dodgy geezers more like :lol: )
