We all know about Bowie and Waits, but who are some musicians that appeared in films, but their careers didn't really take off?
John Lydon appeared in a film with Harvey Keitel called Cop Killer (or alternatively the Order of Death or Corrupt).

Well, anyone with more than just a cameo appearance, but not as much as a successful movie career alongside their music career. It's meant to be quite open.
