Eminem
Real Name: Marshall Mathers
Turning to acting in 2002's 8 Mile, Eminem hasn't resurfaced since. His debut was loosely based on his own life, so that probably fed his performance. Can he hold his own in other projects? I'd like to find out.

T.I.
Real Name: Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr.
With his 2006 performance in ATL and his supporting role in American Gangster, T.I. holds his own on screen. Now if he can just manage to avoid jail time, we might get to see more of him.

Common
Real Name: Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr.
Not that I followed much of the guy's music, but Common immediately piqued my interest as a bodyguard in Smokin' Aces. There's something about the guy's voice and delivery that is so smooth and gangster you can't turn away.

Ludacris
Real Name: Chris Bridges
Though not very seasoned in the acting profession, Ludacris was surprisingly well regarded in his supporting role in Crash back in 2004. As such, I'll give him a pass for being involved in Fred Claus.Good one in Rock'n'Rolla.
Mos Def
Real Name: Dante Terrell Smith
This is a guy I enjoy in just about anything, save for maybe his nasally voice in 16 Blocks. From The Italian Job to Be Kind Rewind, I'm always intrigued when he's involved with a new project.
LL Cool J
Real Name: James Todd Smith III
A seasoned actor, LL Cool J easily straddles both fields. He is scheduled to release his last album, Exit 13, later this year. Maybe that will give him the headroom to tone up on acting, since his last few projects have been pretty lame (e.g. The Last Holiday, Edison).

Queen Latifah
Real Name: Dana Elaine Owens
Latifah just narrowly misses the second spot. She's definitely come a long way over the years and has earned numerous awards as an actress. But a good deal of her roles are more supporting in nature, and I like the runner-up's films a bit better.
Will Smith
Real Name: Willard Christopher Smith Jr.
Topping the list, Will Smith needs no introduction. The guy keeps churning out great movies. Do folks even remember him as the Fresh Prince?

Marky Mark
Real Name: Mark Wahlberg
It's hard to imagine that Mark Wahlberg was ever considered a rapper, given how buried that history has become. Despite starting out as the lead of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Wahlberg has grown into a formative actor.
