Well you know what, I got to thinking about those actors & actresses that saw commercial success as musicians, and there are many, but here are five great actors and actresses that also saw success as musicians!
At number 5: David Hasselhoff (Starcrash).

David Hasselhoff in, 'Knight Rider'![/caption]Today we all know Mr. Hasselhoff for his drunken antics that made it to Youtube... It is sad because the man is a great actor having torn up the small screen in the 90s with such shows as, 'Baywatch', but his career (at least on the international stage) has been a major sensation since the at least the 1970s!
For more information on David Hasselhoff please enjoy this trailer for one of his better movies, Starcrash (1979).
