Country Singers Turned Actors

Toby Keith's big screen acting debut in “Broken Bridges” wasn't exactly a stretch for the singer since it was about a country star who returns to his roots after his career takes a bad turn. Later, he looked to his hillbilly upbringing for the movie adaption of his hit song, “Beer for My Horses,” which he co-wrote and starred in. The flick was a major flop, but the song spent six weeks at number one on the U.S. Country Billboard charts.
