26 JoJo
When JoJo first began releasing music in 2006, the world couldn’t get enough, and so the pop star did what many pop stars have done before—she began appearing in films. And, for a while, it appeared as though she might have found success in the arms of Hollywood—with films like RV, starring alongside Robin Williams, and teen flick Aquamarine—until the starlet disappeared from the world of fame and fortune altogether. Since her hiatus, JoJo has appeared in G.B.F. and released a brand new album, Mad Love.
27 Janet Jackson
Unfortunately for the icon, her acting offers came to a grinding halt after the infamous wardrobe malfunction during the Superbowl Halftime Show in 2004. The Poetic Justice star and award-winning musician’s career has suffered due to a lack of commitment (she has backed out of most roles offered to her) and because of her fines accumulated through the wardrobe incident forced her out of appearing on MTV.
28 Tom Waits
Singer-songwriter Tom Waits, whose distinctive voice was once described like it had been “soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car,” has appeared in many films over the years (most of which you probably haven’t seen). His most notable appearances were in indie film Wristcutters: A Love Story and opposite Iggy Pop in Jim Jarmusch’s tastefully quirky Coffee and Cigarettes, suggesting that Waits mostly appears to a niche audience.
29 André 3000
Most famous for his role in the hip-hop duo Outkast, André 3000 has also appeared in numerous films over the past two decades, including minor roles on Idlewild and Charlotte’s Web.
30 Bjork
Bjork, the chart-topping queen of avant-garde music, has also found a place for her unique artistic expression in the film industry. In fact, her 2000 feature film debut as the lead in the Lars von Trier film Dancer in The Dark ended up snagging her the Best Actress Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. Since that film debut, however, the singer has only appeared in a handful of foreign films, none of which landed her many positive reviews.
