Actors Who Played Musicians And Actually Sang Their Music
Joaquin Phoenix
Phoenix actually met Johnny Cash months before hearing anything about the film. He thought he wasn’t fit for the role. Unlike Jamie Foxx in Ray, a year prior, Phoenix actually recorded and performed all of the Cash’s music — not just some of it. And maybe if Foxx didn’t win for a similar type of role at the Oscars the previous year, Phoenix would’ve won for his amazing performance here.
