So a discussion at work leads me to ask: what are the best musician-to-actor transitions ever? Will Smith's probably the best and most successful I can think of, and Jared Leto's probably the worst.

The most upsetting thing about Milo's fall is that it was the result of some pretty obvious snark and trolling, while those that are disowning him now were just fine with his disgusting genuine beliefs. I don't see any sort of victory in that besides just watching someone I abhor suffer.

He's okay in Heaven's Gate. One of those dudes that's not the best actor but has great screen presence (honestly, he's better in Blade).

Pras from the Fugees is way worse in terms of going from quality musician to terrible actor. Leto just went from mediocre musician to mediocre actor.

The Deer Hunter was enough of a chore for me, I can't ever see myself watching Heaven's Gate.

I ain't ever heard 30 Seconds to Mars, but he went from being a good supporting actor in Fight Club to boasting about sexually harassing his coworkers to get into his role as the Joker, that puts him way down on the list.

Mark Wahlberg may be the biggest improvement from musician to actor, considering his music and the level of talent he's able to hang with in Boogie Nights.

Courtney Love kills it in The People vs. Larry Flynt.

Joaquin Phoenix was apparently a busker as a child before getting into acting.

I'd like to see more Nicki Minaj on-screen. I really enjoyed Ice Cube in the Jump Street movies, but she's got a stronger screen presence than him in that most recent Barbershop movie.

I 100% honestly think Nicki should get a shot at the Joker, she's already got the perfect laugh for it.
