Episode 35: The Film Freaks Mic Drop – Singers Who Tried Acting!

Your Film Freaks invite you to enjoy the latest podcast—where we shine a spotlight on this unique niche—singers who tried to be film actors. And there are a'plenty! Now some absolutely proved they were more than capable—with a few even winning Oscars—like Frank Sinatra and Cher. But so many others quickly showed that standing in front of a microphone isn't the same as standing in front of a movie camera and emoting. We will take you through many fun and fascinating examples where it worked and when it really didn't. (We also have some fun when successful actors tried cutting albums.) We will take the listener through everyone from Roy Orbison to Glen Campbell to Christina Aguilera to the Red-Headed Stranger himself, the one and only Willie Nelson. Come join us for some more Film Freaks Forever! fun with your hosts, Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton.
