Although a number of musicians have made the transition into film, rarely do movie stars succeed in their attempts to cross-over into the world of rock and popular music. Adequate or respectable at best (Billy Bob Thornton, Kevin Bacon, Russell Crowe, Keanu Reeves), occasionally embarrassing (Don Johnson), or satirically fun (Jack Black), these are not the songs that frequent our personal playlists. I can think of only two movie stars that can legitimately make claim to a dual career: Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars and Zooey Deschanel of She & Him. She & Him, the duo of Zooey and M. Ward have just released their second album: Volume Two. “Thieves” written by Zooey is the Song of the Day.

“Thieves”
I think Cher’s would qualify as a true dual career. She was first ridiculed as an actress because she was a singer, and then ridiculed as a singer, because she was an actress!
Regardless, Zooey Deschanel is adorable, and “Bridge to Terabithia” made me cry.
I think Elvis Presley had both a very successful film and recording career.A liitle more noticeable than Jared Leto and Fran and Zooey.Let’s fact check a little!!
