10 Actors And Musicians Who Had Success In Both Fields
4. Eddie Murphy
It's disappointing to have seen Eddie Murphy fall from acting grace after starring in critically panned movies such as Norbit, but with Beverly Hills Cop 4 on the horizon and a potential Shrek 5 coming our way, he might be set for a revival. Particularly on the back of his work in the excellent Dolemite.
Eddie Murphy rose in popularity accountable to the very comedic performances mentioned above, as Axel Foley and Donkey respectably.
So you may ask, what has he been doing in the mean time? Besides spending time with his family, Murphy has pursued a musical career. He has decided to take a different route from his 1985 single Party All The Time (which was heavily used to market GTA V's Diamond Casino and Resort DLC not so long ago), which was 80's disco, and is now inclined to a reggae style, and example being Red Light ft. Snoop Lion.
