He made quite a bunch. Most are related to his music.

He also made cameos in a few 70s and 80s movies, as well as being on an episode of Miami Vice as a villain, and was The Pope on Ren & Stimpy.

Hi,
 
David Bowie has done a lot of movies that are actually very good.
-- "The Man Who Fell To Earth" is an excellent film by Nicholas Roeg (Excellent)
-- "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" is also very good by Nagisa Oshima (Very very good)
-- "The Hunger" based on the Whitley Strieber novel (Good and moody)
-- "Labyrinth" (Ok, but not well directed)
-- "The Last Temptation of Christ" (ok, but not well directed on what otherwise was a very good film off Kazantzakis' novel)
-- "Basquiat" (All right. He plays Andy Warhol and ... hmmm ... the film was good, but the Andy Warhol stuff is when the film starts going down and I'm not sure it was David's fault)
 
Mick Jaegger probably doesn't deserve it, but I seriously doubt that "Performance" would be any good without him, who makes the film amazing, and extraordinary, and Nicholas Roeg and Donald Camel had the perfect role for him ... it is, by very far, one of the best films ever made, but it is very difficult to figure out and appreciate as it moves fast and it hits hard when it needs to, and has one of the best endings of any film out there that really turns the whole thing on its head and heels and leaves you going ... wow ...
 
Roger Daltrey was in quite a few episodes of "The Highlander" on TV and he was pretty darn good. He was also in two of Ken Russell's lesser extravaganzas, which were rather forgettable ... you and I might have to get quite drunk or ripped to be able to sit through them today.
 
Florian Fricke - appeared in quite a few of Werner Herzog films, many times uncredited.
 
Not sure we can make a list of the musicians that have appeared in Wim Wenders films ... you'll get a headache!
 
Prince -- Purple Rain. One of the best pure rock films ever made. And the music was quite progressive copmpared to what Genesis was doing!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

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

Well, I never said that the actor's performance (or the movie itself) had to be stellar to be included.

I don't find Bowie to be a particularly great actor, just a cracked one! LOL

Of course - you also have John Lennon ("How I Won The War") & David Byrne ("True Stories").

None of these guys were in true-blue prog bands - but all are featured on the website.



Roger Daltrey wasn't the other one I was thinking of, but good example!  The other one was The Beatles (which Dean got two posts above)

She's done a bit more than just SING with Fripp.

Wink
I am the ocean
Lit by the flame
I am the mountain
Peace is my name
I am the river
Touched by the wind
I am the story
I never end.

Ryuichi Sakamoto (Yellow Magic Orchestra & David Sylvian) was also in Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.
 
Fish (Derek Dick) has had a number of roles in TV and filum.
Rick Wakeman *acted* in Listomania
 
From Proto Prog:
The Beatles sort of acted in Help! - less so in Hard Days Night & Magical Mystery Tour
Roger Daltrey (The Who) acted in Listomania

Fish appeared in the UK crime soap 'The Bill' (the only time he warranted the description 'a crim')
David Kaffinetti, the keyboard player in Rare Bird played the role of Spinal Tap's ivory tickler Viv Savage.
