	Chris Bridges should be acceptable for Ludacris.

	What? No Vanilla Ice for his bravura epic Cool as Ice?! For shame, Sporcle!

	"Desperately Seeking Susan" in 2001? moar liek "Glitter"

	RandallPinkston:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 04:51 GMT		12 points
	Desperately Seeking Susan is listed twice, once correctly in 1985 and once incorrectly in 2001. I'm guessing that you mean "Glitter" for 2001 instead. And the Love Me Tender star's last name is spelled wrong.

	Will Smith's debut film was actually "Where The Day Takes You"

	Romeo must die came out in 2000.

	Rowsdower:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 04:53 GMT		3 points
	Tina Turner also played the Acid Queen in Tommy. Not sure if that would be considered a cameo or not

	How about Jewel in "Ride with the Devil" and Britney Spears in the Oscar-winning "Crossroads".

	Deadpool:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 05:08 GMT		1 point
	I saw the second Despertly Seeking Susan listed for 2001 and thought to myself "I never knew they remade that movie". Come to find out it's suppose to be Glitter. :\|

	percussiveness:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 05:12 GMT		34 points
	I didn't think there were any musicians in Dukes of Hazzard... then I remembered Jessica Simpson, and realized I was still right.

	webegon:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 05:21 GMT		1 point
	It is outrageous that Clarence Clemons' role as one of the three most important people in the world from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure was forgotten.

	Although it may not be as momentous as quiz #1,000, I'm geeky enough to congratulate Sporcle on reaching quiz #1,234!

	Sorry, apparently we loved Desperately Seeking Susan so much we thought it should have been there twice. This and the other errors have been corrected.

	The Will Smith movie is wrong. I learned that from the Sporcle Will Smith quiz.

	I actually had to look up Wahlberg to see what his musical endeavors were, prompting the biggest, most unenthusiastic "Oh Yeah..." moment I've had in a while.

	cottb128:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 05:59 GMT		9 points
	Mark Wahlberg was one of the soldiers in Renaissance Man and was Leo's friend in Basketball Diaries before he was in Fear.

	checkmike:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 06:02 GMT		-3 points
	Just curious, what music was Mark Wahlberg involved with? I know his brother Donnie was in New Kids on the Block but I didn't know Mark was a musician.

	fatbeard:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 06:09 GMT		8 points
	Mark Wahlberg is of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, a rap group

	AntieAnnie:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 06:23 GMT		3 points
	Before I started the quiz, I was thinking that Will Smith was the perfect answer... then I forgot to name him. DOH! Fun quiz. I did better than I thought.

	katesutton:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 06:35 GMT		1 point
	More that are missing: David Bowie, Mos Def, and LL Cool J. Also, I second the comment that Renaissance Man came before Fear for Mark Wahlberg, and I'm pretty sure Moonlight and Valentino was Jon Bon Jovi's debut (the Leading Man was his first starring role).

	dallastim:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 06:54 GMT		-3 points
	How about Bob Dylan in Pat Garret and Billy the Kid.

	Chumley:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 07:04 GMT		3 points
	cottb128 is correct about Mark Wahlberg. Also, Bon Jovi was in" Young Guns II" and "Moonlight and Valentino" before "The Leading Man". Although I think "Young Guns II" was uncredited.

	The musician in Crash was definitely in a movie before that, a fairly big one too (though it was awful).

	scarletoak:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 08:55 GMT		4 points
	can I get an Alanis Morissette in Dogma?! good quiz :)

	DerKomissar:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 11:13 GMT		-4 points
	The rapper DMX was also in Romeo Must Die, so why isn't he listed? I'm pretty sure that was his first movie

	raggedyanne:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 11:45 GMT		2 points
	Normally I don't jump on the "why didn't you include so-and-so" bandwagon, but this time I'll make an exception. My list would include Art Garfunkel in "Catch-22". @Wasim: Kris Kristofferson was a member of The Highwaymen, and also was a well-known composer for many years. Arguably his best known composition was "Me and Bobby McGee" as performed by Janis Joplin.

	absolutely right about Tina Turner. sack the researcher lol

	lanaturnersmile:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 12:35 GMT		7 points
	Courtney Loves movie debut was actually Alex Cox's 'Sid and Nancy' as Gretchen Also trent reznor had a cameo in 'Light of Day'

	HBKtx:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 13:28 GMT		-2 points
	Madonna's first film debut was actually Vision Quest. Please look into this.

	JohnJF:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 13:33 GMT		3 points
	Agreed with rowsdower. Regardless of how relevant the role was, she WAS in Tommy. Also, with Aaliyah, it should count her Haughton (her last name), because amazingly, some us are better at remembering her last name than correctly spelling her first name.

	Todd:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 13:44 GMT		1 point
	What about Sting? I know his role in Dune shouldn't count as a cameo, and he was in a couple of flicks before that. Also how about Kenny Rogers as The Gambler.

	leakbrewergator:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 13:53 GMT		3 points
	Eminem was in The Wash before 8 mile and Ludacris was in The Fast and Furious before Crash.

	cmal33:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 14:11 GMT		2 points
	As others have stated, "Fear" was not Mark Wahlberg's film debut. Tina Turner and Madonna also appeared in earlier movies, as a quick check of imdb.com reveals. Maye someone should have researched this quiz first?

	Andy:	Apr 3rd, 2009 at 14:54 GMT		2 points
	ludacris was actually in 2 fast 2 furious, in 2003

	You guys ever thought about cross-referencing these lists for accuracy before posting them? 10 minutes on IMDB would have saved you all these mistakes, and might have even given you the idea for some of the other artists suggested by fans. I love ya Sprcle but there really is no excuse for any mistakes being posted!
