As Harry Potter star Tom Felton signs a record deal to release his debut album, Gigwise has taken a look at a host of other actors who have launched music careers over the years.

Our countdown kicks off with perhaps the biggest movie star of the modern day, Robert Pattinson, whose music has even featured on the soundtrack to The Twilight Saga, and runs right back through the years to the likes of Scarlett Johansson, John Travolta and Steven Seagal.

There's even a nod to those actors who have made the transition successfully: see Jared Leto of 30 Seconds To Mars.

Lindsay Lohan – Perhaps more synonymous with her debauched antics, DUI offences and jail time than anything else in recent months, 21-year-old Lohan has made her name through a dual career in music and movies. Her acting debut came first at the age of 11 in Parent Trap. Shortly before singing on the soundtrack to Freaky Friday, Lohan signed a five-album deal which has so far seen her release such two albums – ‘A Little More Personal (Raw)’ and 2004’s ‘Speak.’

I enjoyed this - thanks for putting it together! i didn't realize some of the actors profiled were also musicial. I did know that Rob P was, and sure wish he'd record an album. I'd like to hear some of his Van Morrison influences. Good job, good commentary -- thanks again.

Despite lesser and less accomplished names appearing, there seems to be no mention of either Zoey Deschanel or Steve Martin!!
