I know. I'm talking about anyone who does crossovers between acting and making music. They are either good at acting, or at making music. I can't name anyone who can pull off both.

Take Madonna for example. Some people find her to be a good musician (I don't), but good grief, she has made countless shitty movies.

Whereas Russel Crowe is a good actor and a shitty musician. Then there is Jared Leto, who is both a terrible musician and a bad actor.

I don't think Johnny Depp has gotten enough praise in this thread yet

despite a few bad movies, his acting in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Dead Man are some of the best I've seen, and although the Pirates movies suck he's fun to watch in those too

but Fear and Loathing is possibly the single best two acting performances ever (him and Benicio Del Toro)


I didn't think the acting was unbelievably phenomenal. It was great, but it doesn't really stand out when I think of best performances

It was a good performance but best of all time? You're shitting my ass sideways if you legitimately think that. Yes, Heath Ledger was a good actor who was going to be a great one the way his career was heading but he never reached his full potential. God damn, I hate you people sometimes.

Also, Johnny Depp? The man's had three great performances. Ed Wood, Dead Man, and Fear and Loathing. He's a versatile actor but I wouldn't put him up there yet. He has yet to wow me in a long time. Also, Jack Sparrow is one annoying fuck of a character in the sequels.
