The lack of Michelle Pfeiffer on this list is unforgivable. Not only did she do all of her own singing as Susie Diamond in The Fabulous Baker Boys (one of the greatest acting performances of the 1980s/90s), but she was also offered a professional recording contract, which she turned down. Her rendition of "Makin Whoopee" in the film is one of the most famous movie scenes of all time. She's also sung in Grease 2, The Prince of Egypt, and Hairspray, and recorded a song for Murder on the Orient Express at Kenneth Branagh's insistence.

[@thebrenizers]

Right but it says “surprisingly good” and he is widely known as a singer. As it is I wish this list weren’t filled with people who have starred in major movie musicals. Surprise, (most) people in Les Mis can sing! I somehow got here when I saw how good Hannah Waddington was, but she’s not on the list. Generally highly trained actors also do a lot of voice training.

I mentioned Nicole Kidman too in another comment. Her Moulin Rouge costar Ewan McGregor can also sing and has done so in a few movies. Completely forgot JGL, he has a nice voice and his face lights up when he sings but I feel like it lacks some power. Ludacris was fist a rapper who then started acting though only recently has he become a "good" actor, those first Law & Order episodes with him were painful to watch. There is also Alan Thicke who is good but how on Earth could they forget to mention the talents of Henry Connick Jr, the dude is a classy act and sings like a superstar. It would have been good if they had defined the criteria since in Hollywood and especially in theater, a lot of actors sing and dance. Oh there is also J-Lo though IMO she isn't very good at singing, acting or dancing.

[@nancygonzalezgarcia8701]

Imagine all of these actors being in a musical together

[@anthonycampos8057]

Joaquin Phoenix would never go for it.

[@KowLove]

Beverly D’Angelo was a professional singer before she was an actor and has quite a voice. Sissy Spacek failed to break into singing before becoming an actor, but did her own singing as Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner's Daughter. I believe she is not well accepted in Country music because she doesn't sing 'rough enough'. Check out her CD Hangin' Up My Heart.

[@nicholespencer7436]

Patrick Swayze was the full package. Dirty Dancing will always be my favorite movie and Patrick Swayze was one of my first celebrity crushes as a child.

[@jlasf]

Tom Holland. Before he was Spiderman, he was Billy Elliot on stage.

[@maianikaido]

You need to do a second part of this. There's so many actors who can sing very Well.

[@mixpogi7244]

I agree

[@amymesserschmidt2044]

It's incredible, I feel like most professional actors started voice training really young so they have the upper hand. I just don't know why they hide it, if I could sing well I'd never shut up 😂

[@bridgetmarden3345]

Thank You for this education. So many of my favorite ppl I'm still learning about ❤

[@acalia_sariah]

Zachary Levi was one of the biggest shocks. When I was growing up, my parents loved watching "Chuck." Just recently, I have fallen in love with the show as well. I mostly grew up hearing the voice of Zach playing Flynn Rider in "Tangled" (I was born in '03, so I can still say I grew up on "Tangled" haha). Anyway, my whole family has always known that Zach voiced Flynn Rider, but it's still hard for my dad to believe that he sings for him, too. He's got such a beautiful voice.🥹🧡

Beverly D’Angelo has an amazing voice. Her performance in Coal Miner’s Daughter is jaw dropping.

[@sandrabarnhardt9904]

YES!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@farmgirlguitarist6822]

YES!!!! Great voice in Christmas Vacation.

[@kristisvendsen4819]

Also Sweet Dreams. She was marvelous singing Patsy Cline.

Sissy Spacek, more than held her own as well. Just saying. I had no idea 🤷‍♀️ she could 🎤.

[@johnearle1]

@@jenniferwellman5311 The director wanted her to sing for authenticity.

[@nyneeveanya8861]

The most surprising voice I ever heard came from John C. Reilly in Chicago. I have enjoyed his appearances in movies before but never knew he could sing so well.

[@amyalphin7053]

He is truly amazing, a very underrated actor (and singer as well).

[@sometimesiwander7146]

I agree John C Reilly was phenomenal & he literally had me in tears bc I believed him Playing his part & feeling his pain. I play clarinet so maybe I internalize a bit too much. Lol. He was awesome tho.

[@janmoore6340]

Not to forget Richard, Renee and Katherine.

[@jenflinchum4360]

Don't forget Walk Hard!

[@scottbrownp18]

When I watched Walk Hard, I was so surprised at how amazing his voice was. It blew me away when he sang A Life Without You and Beautiful Ride!

[@neelixstfc-server0218]

Along with Catherine O'Hara... Eugene Levy in that same "mighty wind" movie... The two, complement each other so well on that soundtrack. Listen to "One More Time"... The song was played in the soft background of the movie, but was the most beautiful song on the album.

[@deejay9868]

Seth McFarlane.....WOW! What a voice!

[@madeleinemcgregor2855]

Yes!!! 😍

[@thepubknight6144]

And he sang in four different voices on family guy and did it amazingly

[@greatdane813]

After watching Tick, Tick, BOOM!, I would say Mr. Andrew Garfield, who learned to play the piano and had singing lessons to make this film, is amazing! And after listening/watching him, you might think acting could be his second calling after music.

[@peggyknecht5551]

Kelsey Gramer, Jason Alexander, F. Murray Abraham, Jane Kregowski, all have incredible voices. They all started in musical theater. Another actor with an incredible voice Mel Gibson. He sang as John Smith in Pocahontas.

[@adinaconn3517]

Jason Alexander started on Broadway. We miss him there! And Jane Krakowski is a Tony Award winner Broadway Baby!

[@farmgirlguitarist6822]

YES!!! Definitely Kelsey and Mel!!! Music industry needs them now! Though I do wish Patrick Swayze was still alive singing and writing songs.

[@farmgirlguitarist6822]

Oh yes, and Larry the Cable Guy can sing. Watch him on the Masked Singer.

I am so happy you put Jeremy Renner in the list. He's such a freaking awesome singer ❤😊

[@vondei5939]

I didn't know Robert Downy Jr can sing like that!!😍

[@suefalk2682]

I bought the Ally Mcbeal Christmas CD over 20 years ago just for his singing and I’ve been listening to it every year since!

[@JoanTarpley-hx9sh]

There is very little that he CAN'T achieve.

[@kathyallen6003]

How about Bradley Cooper. Never knew that he could sing until he did "A Star is Born ".

[@annamartin5923]

Oh thank goodness! I saw JR in the thumbnail and as the list kept counting down I began to worry that he either wasn’t on it or was just an honorable mention! Yay!!!

[@mopotter9394]

Fun stuff. At 14:53 singing with Christian Kane, First saw him on Angle then Leverage and my 2nd favorite The Librarians.

[@nancysnyder7684]

As I was watching the beginning of this video, I was thinking they should have Christian Kane (most known for Leverage) on this list. Then they showed a clip of Jensen Ackles singing with...you guessed it...Christian Kane! Though he did't make the list, he was still in the video. LOL. My sister lived close to Portland, OR when they were shooting Leverage there. She said that Christian could be found singing in local clubs from time to time. They also featured his voice in one of the Leverage episodes. I'm sure he didn't make this list because he is not as well known as the other actors, but he easily fits the category! His voice is wonderful.

[@marissawilson9460]

If you never watched Angel you should look up clips of Christian Kane singing. He’s incredible!

[@fierlanfire1806]

His song "The House Rules" is a lot of fun. Love Christian Kane.

Ewan mcgreggor and nicole kidman shocked me at how well they could sing in Moulin Rouge.

You also missed Johnny Depp. His singing in Sweeney Todd was amazing! And worth the acknowledgement

[@Claudia-up6wt]

Really good ones in this list, but so many are missing: Hugh Jackman, Meryl Streep, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor... I think we nee a Part 2

[@ln2675]

I really agree!!!!

[@carr0760]

Hugh Jackman isn't a surprise. He started in musicals. Meryl Streep has been singing since she was a child. Also not a surprise. Nicole Kidman is utter crap. Ewan McGregor is mediocre at best. Thus neither belong on this list.

Surprised to hear about Val Kilmer. I didn’t know he had throat cancer. It seems like a lot of British actor’s love country music and most that I see in movies really nail that southern accent. Really liked Jeremy Renner’s voice and music.

[@jimrhodes8261]

If you are a fan of Val Kilmer, you should really watch his bio-documentary Val. It’s a very powerful and moving autobiography on film.

RDJ sang in the TV show "Ally McBeal," which is where I learned he could sing, as well as in the film Heart and Souls. He sang "I'll Be Watching You" in "Ally McBeal," and, if I remember correctly, that's how he received the invite to sing with Sting.

Was surprised at many of these. There were some others that weren't mentioned except in the comments. One I didnt see already mentioned was Patrick Wilson in Phantom and also in Aquaman. Also from Phantom was Emmy Rossum performed when she was young at the Metropolitan Opera
