10 Famous Actors Who Tried A Music Career

6. Jeff Bridges

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS_2P1DnNWE While many of the actors on this list failed to achieve much success with their at a second vocation, Jeff Bridges seems to buck the trend. Bridges often commented throughout his career that he loved the idea of being a musician just as much - or maybe even more - than his acting career. An initial attempt at releasing an album called "Be Here Soon" didn't take off in 2000, and Bridges seemed to settle back in to his acting career. After successes with films like Iron Man, Crazy Heart and True Grit, however, Bridges finally seemed to decide to return to his other passion. Signing a record deal, Bridges would go on to release a self-titled country album in 2011. While critics were not particularly kind to his efforts, the public seemed to be much more rewarding, as the album charted at number 25 in the Billboard Albums Chart. After all of his work proving audiences with great performances, it was nice to see Bridges see his music dream pay off.
