About this episode
What do Joe Pesci, Oscar Isaac, and Keanu Reeves all have in common? No, this isn't the weirdest casting call of all time (though, we'd totally watch that movie) – it's MUSIC.
In this episode of Tape Spaghetti, Scott and Blake dive into the unexpected world of actors who were (or still are) legit musicians. This Hollywood crossover occurs in some seriously surprising places, and the actors in question weren't just dipping their toes into the music scene. They were genuinely grinding it out in bands.
Oscar Isaac as a ska frontman. Fred Armisen earning genuine punk cred. Jeff Goldblum's jazz orchestra. Or Keanu Reeves quietly rocking out in Dogstar. This one'll make you rethink some actors you thought you knew, and highlights how the siren song of musical success can continue to lure established celebrities – even when they're already household names.
