Frank Sinatra directed and starred in a moderately successful Pacific War drama, None But The Brave (1965). Wu-Tang Clan leader and rapper RZA managed to attract Hollywood stars Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu to star in his martial arts film The Man With The Iron Fists (2012) but the results were underwhelming. Prince directed a sequel to Purple Rain (1984) called Graffiti Bridge (1990), which was excruciatingly bad.
Perhaps the most successful example is Rob Zombie. The lead singer of White Zombie, a horror infused heavy metal band, has made some excellent horror films, notably The Devil's Rejects (2005) and a 2007 Halloween remake. Malcolm Strode, Gloucester.
