DU Trivia CHALLENGE: One hit wonders who were also actors [View all]

First one that comes to mind is Jack "General Hospital" Wagner and his #2 hit "All I Need." He had other singles, but none got any higher than #52 on the U.S. charts. He pretty much had one...and only one...hit.

There were other one hit wonder actors...name one.
