Gary Dourdan plays more instruments and sings as well check his Official site where you can hear more music and then Kafala.com to purchase his CD's. Oh and let us not forget that Actor Jamie Foxx's CD will be released on the 20th of this month. HIs Official site is sweet too.

Shane West (currently of ER) is in a band called Jonny Was. Former child stars Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennet can now be seen in Rilo Kiley, and soon in Blake's side project, The Elected, and Jenny's going solo.

can't really call Paris a musician either, can ya? That said, she's working with current superproducer Scott Storch. I feel like stereogum might have had leaked tracks a few weeks ago but I'm too lazy busy to search for them.

My band once opened for Marla Sokoloff's band Smitten. I believe Johnny Depp started as a musician before he switched to acting. Isn't Paris Hilton recording an album now? (Not that you can really call her an "actor") Who else...?

Dennis Quaid has been fronting his band semi-regularly at surprise cinespace shows lately. Speaking of dog star, former Real World Seattle kid Rebecca Lord (sweet blue eyed Becky who hung out with sir mix-a-lot) once fronted dog star and now fronts her own band called Becky. Gah, there's a ton I'm forgetting.

Keanu Reeves had Dogstar, lest we forget their meteoric rise to fame. And Woody Allen sits in weekly with a NYC based jazz band. I know there's tons more...
