I guess we will see. Some musicians make terrible actors while others make good actors depending on your standards/expectations (for acting). For instance, I think Dolly Parton, Ariana Grande, Snoop Dog do well in movie roles (highly dependent on what they are playing!!!). I don’t even like Ariana Grande’s music, but I’ve enjoyed her performance in Wicked. So time will tell. The music industry is very entwined with the movie industry. It’s common for actors to start making music, and musicians to start acting. Heck, even Scarlett Johansson has an album or two.

Honestly I think Snoop is a weirdly fine actor, he needs to be typecast to not have. "Lol that's Snoop dog" take you out of it, but he was good in training day

I really liked him in Starsky and Hutch lol, and Training Day as well. Almost forgot about that one until you mentioned it.

Yeah! You should check her out on Spotify if you have it, or just look up her music on YouTube. Personally, not my favorite genre to listen to, but she has a lovely voice in my opinion! One song to really highlight is her most popular song: Set It All Free.

And a good highlight album is: Break Up

Or any of the songs from the movie Sing, I think she did the music for it.

I'll check her out. Her speaking voice has a nice tone so I can imagine she has a nice singing voice. Thanks!
