Rappers & Rock Stars

Who could forget Whitney Houston as the haunted pop superstar Rachel Marron in the 1992 blockbuster The Bodyguard? Or Will Smith as the last man standing in I Am Legend?

Browse through the Warner Bros. Film Library and you’ll find a slew of movies featuring the double-threat talents of musicians who caught the acting bug. Some have a natural flair for comedic timing as Snoog Dogg in the role of Huggy Bear proved in Starsky & Hutch, while others performances are more poignant, such as Tupac Shakur’s in Above the Rim.

In the mood for drama, romance or even a disaster flick (did you know Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas was in Poseidon?), then you’ll get a kick out of this photo gallery as we take a look at Rappers and Rock Stars of Hollywood.
