What famous people who aren't singers have quite good voices?

[Cb1963]

So trolling through old people on the television and film who have pretty good voices, so I'll kick things off, Bill Tarmey, known as jack duckworth from coronation Street, that famous comedian Ken Dodd, Jim Carey, and I only found out by chance the other day Russell Crowe, it seem many individuals have more strings to their bow than what we know, feel free to throw in some other " celebrities " who are normally on the silver screen, I'm sure there must be loads you good people can remember, and who can't forget Bruce Willis as well or Patrick Swayze 😉

Richard Harris - he was just an actor but had a massive hit with MacArthurs Park. He had a lovely voice.

Audrey Hepburn - she had a good voice too even though it wasn't considered good enough for My Fair Lady and it was dubbed by Marnie Nixon who had an amazing voice.

I guess its quite common as actors need good speaking voices. I remember seeing a clip of Bill Tarmy when he was on Opportunity Knocks (I think it was that one.) Not great but not bad either.

Great post.
