Kate Bush starred in The Comic Strip Presents... Les Dogs (it's on YouTube), she also wrote the theme tune to The Comic Strip Presents...GLC: The Carnage Continues. 
 
Kate also wrote, starred and directed a short film called The Line, The Cross & The Curve.
 
Lemmy (billed as Ian Killminster) starred in a Comic Strip Presents spin-off film directed by Peter Richardson called Eat The Rich - he also contributed six Motorhead songs to the soundtrack, including the title track Eat The Rich.
 
As far as I know ELP have never been asked to do a Comic Strip Presents film.
What?

There was an album made for the Canadian TV sketch with Bob and Doug McKenzie that included Geddy Lee singing the song "Take Off".  I don't know that he ever actually appeared in the show though. 
Alex Lifeson had a cameo in a Trailer Park Boys movie, as well as a movie titled Suck. http://www.rushisaband.com/display.php?id=1946

He was the first Artful Dodger in London's West End when the musical 'Oliver' was produced in the 1960s - this is the only photo I could find:



The child actor at the front is Jack Wilde, who went on to play the Artful Dodger in the film version.

Phil Collins was also briefly a child model - somewhere there is a picture of him on the front of a knitting pattern (this I know - it's in an old Genesis biography at home somewhere )

Doesn't really count but Bob Dylan was in the star-studded cult film Masked and Anonymous. Great movie for people who aren't even Dylan fans like myself.

That was a splendid role IMO.
Yes, I agree, I think he carried it off quite well, and as Nikola Tesla in The Prestige. Probably his most critically acclaimed performance was as John Merrick - I never got to see him in the role, (Jeff Rawle was the lead when it came to Bromley) but it was a great play and I can easily imagine him playing the part. It's odd that when he plays "known" characters he's pretty believable, but in fictional roles he's just Bowie acting Bowie (his cameo in Yellowbeard made Richard's appearance in Pirates of the Caribbean look good)
What?

Why would you list those two movies instead of Frauds and Labyrinth (or The Prestige)?


I dunno... first ones that came to mind, is that bad?

This is not prog, but it blew my mind when I learned recently that Creed Bratton on The Office recorded famous songs with The Grass Roots. You shouldn't allowed to be famous for 2 things!

The weirdest cameo by a musician I ever saw in a film was 'big guy' Leslie West playing a transvestite interior decorator in The Money Pit ( Shelly Long and Tom Hanks). Mountain are'nt on PA (why not??!) so strictly off topic but thought it worth a mention anyway.

Didn't Sparks have a brief appearance in Black Sunday?
 
Sting appeared in a couple of films.  Brimstone and Treacle was good.

Yes, let's include voice-acting work in this list too, and animated portrayals!
