There are a lot of great actors who also get into other artistic outputs. Right brain activity I suppose. It never surprises me to hear that so and so an actor is also an excellent singer. In fact one of my favorite examples is Viggo Mortenson of LOTR fame is a recorded Jazz Pianist (an instrument and style of music more demanding then singing in several ways), a published poet and published photographer. Success in 4 artistic fields, while his money is in acting.
Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra certainly from a golden age. I also put a plug for Julie Andrews.
You can go through the long list of actors who have gone on to do broadway in singing roles and have gotten rave reviews and just as many who get stinkers.
