All too often, a performer gets it into their head that now they've reach some margin of fame in a band, they can also act! Some make the leap ok like Will Smith, others like Vanilla Ice are best left forgotten.
Entries Beginning with B
Name | Notable Song Credits | Comments & Submittor Name | ||
| B. B. King | Into the Night | He plays a busker in a parking lot in a cameo appearance. Also, he performs the opening title song. This cult classic has a galaxy of stars including the now better known Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeifer as well as seasoned veterans like Dan Ackroyd and even David Bowie (surprise!). If you ain't seen this movie yet I STRONGLY recommend you do so. This is big time entertainment, it's what action films ought to be. Go and see it.. - Get Up And GO GO GO GO... | ||
| Backstreet Boys | Arthur: It's Only Rock N Roll | They had a small role in Arthur which was really good. - Celeste | ||
| Barry McGuire | The President's Analyst | He played, what else, a folk singer. - Opie M. | ||
| Beanie Sigel | State Property, State Property 2, Paper Soldiers, Death Of A Dynasty | - Michael Prymula | ||
| Beyonce Knowles | Obsessed | I suppose she shows some acting talent here, but still messes up the movie, assuming it had anything going for it for her to mess up. She palys the wife of a man stalked by a crazed woman (the latter played by Ali Larter). The wife played by Beyonce is so insanely jealous (even before she knows anything of the stalking) that she is sometimes as scary as the stalker! - Marlene L. Ram | ||
| Beyonce Knowles | Dreamgirls, the Pink Panther, Austin Powers Goldmember | I see a world domination scheme hatching... First she gains control of the pop/R&B music market, then she goes on to try to do the same with Hollywood! Watch out for this woman!!!!! - Emi | ||

| Billie Piper | Doctor Who, Spirit Trap, The Ruby In The Smoke | Yes, Rose Tyler had a singing career, from 1998-2003. I can fondly remember dancing around to "Because We Want To" as a child. She's also occasionally credited as "Billie" but this is only for her first album. - Eve | ||
| Billy Joel | Oliver & Company | "Pressure" singer did the "Dodger" character voice in one of the Disney movies back in '88. - Mickey D. | ||

He has also composed a lot of soundtrack music to these movies and others. - Gordon | ||
