Best and worst actors turned musicians

Jada Pinkett-Smith

She’s of Hollywood’s most successful actors and the wife of Will Smith. Yet, it’s safe to say Jada Pinkett’s music career nearly pales in comparison to her acting. She began her television career with roles on A Different World, and eventually transitioned into film starring in Eddie Murphy’s The Nutty Professor, Menace to Society, and Set It Off, to name a few. Pinkett Smith launched her music career in 2002, when she helped create the metal band Wicked Wisdom, for which she is a singer and songwriter. While the group achieved moderate success, it does not nearly rival the impressiveness of Jada’s acting resume.
