I am really jealous of these people. They get to do the\u00a0most fun jobs on the planet – at least in my opinion. There are actors who are in bands and musicians who act. Of course whatever profession they have gotten into later, doesn’t usually provide them as much fame and credibility as the first one. Sometimes the second profession might become more prominent, but still, one is always going to get more credit. Let’s go.<\/div>\n

Dogstar\u00a0vs\u00a0 BON JOVI\u00a0 & KEANU REEVES<\/a> vs Jon Bon Jovi<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you know Dogstar? Keanu Reeves<\/a> played the bass and toured with the band for 11 years. The band was founded in 1991 and broke up in 2002. But Keanu <\/a>has been in movies since 1985.<\/p>\n

Keanu Reeves became even more popular with the Matrix Trilogy. Dogstar what?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dogstar even has a picture with Bon Jovi<\/a>, at the backstage of a concert where\u00a0the band\u00a0performed as the supporting act. And how many of you think Jon Bon Jovi<\/a> as an actor? Sure, he has done some interesting films like The Leading Man and Little City but to most people, he is a rocker, a musician, the frontman of his band Bon Jovi.\u00a0 Keanu Reeves<\/a> always remained as an actor who\u00a0liked to play bass and play rocker in his free time to his fans and the name Jon Bon Jovi can\u00a0sell shitloads of concert tickets but it ain’t that strong when it comes to box office.<\/p>\n

\"Bon
Bon Jovi have been together for about 25 years. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Jon
One of the many movies Jon has starred in. Little City is one very funny and poignant little film. The characters are complicated and well...not so predictable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

KEVIN BACON vs The Bacon Brothers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kevin Bacon <\/a>has a band called The Bacon Brothers where he plays with his brother Michael. They have 3 albums but I didn’t even have a clue before I watched a special on the actor’s life. His movies? His movies are good. He is a theater trained actor who can play the good guys (Footloose, a classic\u00a0dance movie) but thanks to Hollywood, he made a name for himself as the actor who best plays the bad guys. He has played good guys (Footloose, She’s Having a Baby, wrongly convicted and\/or sexually molested prisoners (Murder in the First, Sleepers), kidnappers , murderers…the list goes on. You probably heard of Mystic River, JFK, A Few Good Men, Flatliners, Stir of Echoes… Did you by any chance get a hold of his albums? I actually heard him play during that show about his life. He sings and he is good. But it is OK. I know quite a lot of singers with great voices. But I think Kevin Bacon is a uniquely talented actor. I for one am glad he stuck with his acting career.<\/p>\n
