20 Actors Who Shocked Us With Their Singing Ability

2. Scott Bakula

scott bakula Back in Scott Bakula's Quantum Leap days, there was no end to the ways that the show would try to incorporate his abilities into the weekly story line. There's no other explanation for the sheer amount of musicians and dancers he just happens to leap into during his journey. But that was 20 years ago, and a lot of people have forgotten about that. They mostly just know him as Captain Archer from Star Trek: Enterprise or Mr Bartowski on Chuck. So it comes to the surprise of many fans that he has a fairly extensive musical background. If you attended a benefit performance during the 90s, more often than not you'd find Mr. Bakula there. Just check out the adoring looks he's getting from Stephen Sondheim in this video at the Kennedy Center Honors in 1993...if that's not praise, I don't know what is.
