09/22/03: They're better than athletes who think they can act.

Posted By: Marion

I saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on an episode of Different Strokes once. Man, was that bad!

How about Shaquille O'Neal in "Kazam"?

Brian Bosworth in "Stone Cold"?

Merlin Olsen in "Little House On The Prairie"?

A few decent singing-to-acting transitions that have worked out well: Queen Latifah, Bjork (well, I thought she was good), Jon Bon Jovi (I didn't recognize him in "U-571").

And then there are the actors who decide to become singers - witness the horror! J. Lo, Bruce Willis, Russel Crowe, Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Love Hewitt. . .

Maybe everyone ought to just stick with their first love.
