well known musicians who also had/have an acting career

not just cameos, legitimate acting roles.
and not the other way around (actors playing music)

the most interesting to me is Mickey Jones. You know him and love him as the auto mechanic/sheriff in “vacation”



he had a long career as a character actor including roles in “home improvement”, “sling blade”, “justified” etc.

What you might not know is that Mickey Jones was the drummer for maybe the most impactful and chronicled rock tour ever…Bob Dylans 1966 world tour with the musicians (less Levon) who would later become the band.

that’s Mickey Jones on drums with Bob and robbie



in addition to that, Mickey Jones was the drummer for the First Edition, Kenny Rogers original band and played on such hits as as "Something's Burning", "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" and "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)".
