From the list I really like Jeremy Renner singing. I would add: Alison Sudol (of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - she sings as A Fine Frenzy, her song Almost lover is great and was a big hit) and Katey Sagal (in my country known mostly from Married. with Children. She started music career as a backing vocalist for various singers, including Bob Dylan, Etta James, Olivia Newton-John and she had few albums)

Here's a few more to add.
I saw Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters at the Des Plaines Theater last year. He even did a Q and A for us. Cool guy!
At the same place, Kevin Costner and Keifer Sutherland and their bands played too.
Patrick Swayze sang She's Like the Wind for Dirty Dancing.
The funniest one is Kim Fields. She made a song called Dear Michael. Guess who the song was about?

Uhhh you got the info wrong on Jennifer Love Hewitt as the song you mentioned wasn't her biggest HIT as JLH's Biggest Hit was a song named BareNaked it was featured on a NOW CD, also a few other CD's & made also like a few weeks stay on MTV's TRL n also at least 3 Weeks stay on a NBC show called Friday Night (Videos) then so as I should know I watched them as a Late Teen-Early adult!
reply

Jennifer Love Hewitt was already very famous from Party of Five, long before I Know What You Did Last Summer.
I was bummed that this list focused so much on a Gen Z perspective. I'm Gen X and have never heard of half of these actors.
One of the many actor/singers not on this list is Don Johnson.

One actress that many forget had a music career is Chloe Bennett. Famous in the USA for her role as Daisy Skye Johnson on Agents of SHIELD, she actually started with a music career in Hong Kong under her birth name Chloe Wang. She had a few well received music videos before returning to the USA to pursue acting.

Where's Oscar winners Russell Crowe and Jared Leto? Russell Crowe fronted a band in Australia called Thirty Odd Feet of Grunts, and Jared Leto is the lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars. And you can't leave out Donald Glover and his musical alter ego Childish Gambino.
reply

Surprised that Mark Wahlberg didn't make this list. Anyone remember marky mark and the funky bunch? Good vibrations rap song from the 90s? It was his biggest hit and he was modeling underwear and getting into all sorts of legal trouble at the time.
reply

Congratulations Robert Downey Jr! Him at number 1 is unexpected! Here are some more actors you forgot had music careers.
Joey Lawrence
Patrick Swayze
John Travolta
Russell Brand
Ricky Gervais
Taraji P. Henson
Jackie Chan

Kate Winslet put out an album and had a hit song from it called 'What If'. Don Johnson put out an album, his hit single was 'Heartbeat'. A lot of actors have bands, Russell Crowe has a band, I think Macaulay Culkin has a band.
reply

Some of the comments clearly didnt get the memo what the list is about. Nobody would forget about Will Smiths music career, David Hasselhoff and co. Although it is debatable whether the entry of hailee Steinfeld is right
reply

Just going to point out that in Captain America: Civil War, when Tony is visiting the Raft, Hawkeye calls him the futurist. The futurist, gentlemen! The futurist is here. Clearly meant as an easter egg.
reply

I knew Robert Downey Jr. Could sing well ever since I first saw Ally Mcbeal back in the day, he had a lovely Duet with Vonda Shepard called Chances Are, and his duet with Sting on Every Breath You Take.
reply

Jennifer Love Hewitt was famous in South East Asia in the late 90s/ early 2000s. Her songs No Ordinary Love and Cool With You were popular. Not to mention her version of Our Love, Don't throw it all away.
reply

I think Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Brie Larson should do an album and call themselves. The Avengers! Bring in Mark Ruffalo as he played bass in the movie, Begin Again.
reply

Jada Pickett Smith had her own rock band called Wicked Wisdom. Jacob Lattinore also sings. The actor Rotimi also sings. Terrence Howard released an album. Billy Porter also released an album.
reply

I know she wasnt the main lead in Sister Act 2 but that had to count for something right? Also Ghost Whisperer lasted 5 seasons, why wasnt it mentioned. I mean she was the lead in that one
reply

How do you forget that Steve Martin has a music career when he literally started out playing the banjo and has consistently played it on stage, touring for the last six decades?
reply

I remember that Don Johnson had a Top 10 song with the song Heartbeat, and US soap opera actors MIchael Damian (Rock On) & Jack Warner (All I Need) had major hits in the 80s.
reply

Completely forgot about that Tyra Banks song that was on my MP3 player back in the day. Paris Hilton had a brief music career too. We'll pretend that never happened I guess
reply

You show Steve Martin in the teaser but don't even give an honorable mention?
Yet you highlight Brie Larson and Tyra Banks?
What the hell? Who writes this crap?

reply

One actor who has had/still has a music career that most people in the USA have no idea. The Hoff. David Hasselhoff has had a big music career outside of the USA.
reply

RDJ's River on the Ally McBeal Christmas episode/album is so gloriously melancholy! Perfect for being in a holiday stupor. Such a beautiful performance.
reply

Keifer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon. JLH started on Disney's Kids Incorporated along with the likes of Martika, Mario Lopez, and Fergie to name a few.
reply

You forgot about Don Johnson who had an album debut called Heartbeat it was pretty big on MTV at the time. I also believe it was during his Miami Vice days.
reply

5: 57 you forgot he was in Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation. Other honorable mentions: Kevin Bacon, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tracey Ullman
reply

Matt Berry should be on this list part 2 that guy he is full of talented! Amazing video by the way, I was shocked about these celebrities you guy listed.
reply

Not even an honorable mention for Emmy Rossum? Or because she was Christine in Phantom of the Opera its safe to assume that she has a singing career
reply

I cant believe you forgot Carrie Brownstein! She is famous for developing the sketch comedy show Portlandia and founding the group Sleater-Kinney.
reply

Donnie Wahlberg from the tv series Blue Bloods? Back in the late 80's he was in a boy band called New Kids On The Block. Straight out of Boston.
reply

Chole Bennett started as a pop star in Japan before becoming an actress. I so would have put Jada Pinkett Smith on the list.
