For those who missed the improtance of "working" actor/actress, you can't list "That one guy from that one movie" you really liked. Talking about people that were/are serious musicians and serious actors.
My Top 5:
1. Will Smith - Man can do a little bit of everything, and (to me), he's always entertaining. He also took the time to do the acting thing right. He can draw in crowds too, so obviously the studios love him but he's got to be the most experienced and successful of all these guys.
2. Mark Walberg - Although he'll punch you in the face if you call him Marky Mark, and his music was terrible, he's become a very good actor. I can't make him #1 cause I don't think his characters are all that diverse... and he seems like a jerk.
3. Jamie Foxx - Didn't really see him coming, he was a better comedian than musician up until his last album, wasn't really known for his music but it seems like he's dedicated to doing both music and acting now. As far as acting, he's so natural in front of the camera, and he also seems to dedicate himself fully to his roles and he's actually got a good voice.
4. Ice Cube - Look, outside of the Friday movies, I'm not a big fan of anything else Cube has done acting wise. But he was part of one of the most influential groups and period of hip-hop, and he's created a little media empire. He's acting, producing, writing, etc. so more power to him.
5. Tom Waits - Tom Waits is the type of guy that could play a characriture of himself in every film (and often does) and it would be interesting every time. He's known more for his music, and hasn't had any huge roles, but he always makes the most of his screen time.
What's your list?
