Ricky Gervais is one. He recorded that "Free Love Freeway" with Noel Gallagher, too. Maybe Antonio Banderas as well?

[bayareablues]

Peter Capaldi, the current Doctor Who (okay, did I just out myself as a total geek just now?).  He often plays his guitar during episodes.  He used to be in a punk band with Craig Ferguson (drummer), who used to host the Late Late show, was on the Drew Carey Show, and has provided voice in the How to Train Your Dragon movies.

I believe the actor who played Satan in the Pick of Destiny may also be a musician...

Johnny Depp has a signature guitar, doesn't he?

[jugglerken]

Marty. Man, how could you forget Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer?
Three very talented actors who were also "Spinal Tap".

They played and wrote all the songs in the movie.

Hugh Laurie is truly brilliant, stumbled on to his stuff about a year or two ago after binge watching House, and have been listen to it ever since.

[Bennytubesteak]

The Karate Kid sold his soul to play guitar.

Jeff Daniels is actually quite a talented acoustic guitarist. He showed off briefly during one episode during season one of The Newsroom.
