The
Queen guitarist makes his full acting debut in kids’ show Andy and the Band. He’s not bad – better than Vanilla Ice in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The world is filled with rock stars who want to be actors. Ringo Starr in The Magic Christian. David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth. Mick Jagger in Ned Kelly.
