The actor part is debatable. But he got a Grammy nomination this year for his Sinatra impression, so that's something?

She's pretty good on the few She and Him albums I've heard her on. But that's really a song that I don't think anyone but Chris Farley can do justice.

Jim Carrey's done a couple of songs here and there. This one maybe works because you can sort of hear he's having fun with it.

Springfield was Musician -> Actor -> Musician.

No one remembers he was in a fairly popular psychedelic rock group in Australia before he went to the States.

Here he is playing guitar on an awesome cover of Elanor Rigby in the early seventies.

That's because nothing that happens in Australia has ever mattered.
