A surprising number of actors have released albums:
Some actors are content just acting, whether it’s on stage or in front of a TV or movie camera. But others feel the urge to be multihyphenates of some kind. Sometimes, it’s as simple as an actor on a TV show trying out their hand at directing an episode of the program. Sometimes, an actor writes and directs, too. And sometimes, an actor picks up a guitar or a microphone or some other musical instrument and starts to sing, whether or not they can actually sing or play music.
, the second album from Jack Bauer himself, Kiefer Sutherland , let’s look at 15 of the most memorable, if not automatically good, examples of actors and the albums they made.That title is no lie.

, with Pesci as the lead singer. The first song is called “Yo Cousin Vinny” , and it sets the tone for the songs: loud, cacophonous, full of gleeful profanity, and barely sung songs that are closer to the speak-singing style evinced by actors in 1960s-era movie musicals. Pesci’s musical career ended with this album, and while it’s not the worst example on the list, you can kind of see why.
