Gifted artists, all. Truth to tell, the line between actor and musician is far from a clear, sharply defined border. Musical theater performers are trained to act, sing and dance. Many of them -- Astaire, Bolger, Hope, Kaye, for example -- brought their multifaceted stage experience into their movies. By the time Bing and Sinatra won their respective Oscars, they each had been acting in films for years.
On the DVD of the Rod Serling teleplay, THE COMEDIAN, Mel Torme relates how he was offered a straight acting role in the production. He called his friend Edmund O'Brien and told him he was torn, because he wanted to play the part, but the pay would be much less than he could make in the same time period doing his nightclub act. "Melvin," said O'Brien, "Pay THEM."
