From Zooey Deschanel to Captain Kirk doing Dylan: the best songs by actors, ranked!

Ever wondered which actors actually have serious musical chops? This fun list ranks the top 20 songs by film and TV stars, from Zooey Deschanel’s folksy charm to William Shatner’s bizarre-but-iconic Bob Dylan cover. Ryan Gosling’s moody ghost-rock and Jamie Foxx’s funk grooves make the cut, alongside lesser-known gems like a surprisingly great disco track from a former soap (and adult film) actor. It’s a mix of guilty pleasures and genuine bangers.
