Actors who shouldn't sing


I'm not talking about people who recorded a vanity album, like Shatner or Nimoy; I'm talking about actors who sang in their movies. Maybe they were miscast in a musical, or the producers let them sing the title song, something along those lines.

John Carradine - main title song, 'Night Train to Mundo Fine' (Red Zone Cuba)
Clint Eastwood - 'I Talk to the Trees' and 'Alisa' (Paint Your Wagon)
Clint Eastwood - 'Beers to You' (Any Which Way You Can)
Sylvester Stallone - 'Drinkenstein' (Rhinestone)

Who else can you think of that's butchered a song or two?

I just saw Ron Howard, when he was "merely" an actor, before he became a director, still a kid, fresh off his "Opie" days on The Andy Griffith Show, sing a couple tunes in The Music Man. He fearlessly, shamelessly belted 'em out, but jeez--his voice was off-key! He even told director George Lucas during the casting of American Graffiti "I can't sing and I was told this is a musical", to which George cryptically replied "It is a musical and it's OK that you can't sing". American Graffiti's soundtrack is a musical compilation of original period songs from the '50s and '60s sung by many, many period artists.

Christopher Plummer sang Adel Vie (I hope I spelled that correctly) and the main title song from The Sound of Music, and reportedly did a pretty good job, but was still dubbed over by another singer who apparently had better singing chops.

I've tossed this subject around on other boards; I jokingly asked 'What's your favorite Robert Mitchum song?' Thinking that 'The Ballad of Thunder Road' was the only song he ever recorded. Then I found out that 'Triangle Man' had recorded multiple albums!

If you've ever heard They Might Be Giants' song 'Particle Man,' it was apparently all inspired by the two Johns watching Robert Mitchum in an old movie, and one of them said "Bob really looks like a triangle, doesn't he?"

Wasn't that on purpose?

A bunch of actors in MAMMA MIA! don't sing well, but Pierce Brosnan stands out as the worst.

Shatner

Ansel Elgort. I like his acting but his singing? Not so much.

Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, and Ben Affleck. I've heard all of them sing on camera, and they really suck.

MY DAUGHTER AND A WHOLE LOT OF GREATEST SHOWMAN FANS WOULD ARGUE WITH YOU ON HUGH JACKMAN.

Turn your caps lock off, Kowalski. Caps is only reserved for shouting, and you look stupid when you always write like that. And for the record, he was being supported by better singers around him. Jackman himself sounds really gravelly and it seems as if he's trying really hard to hold a note.
