Of course, New Jersey already boasts an amazing lineup of musical stars that include legendary names like Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Queen Latifah, and soon-to-be legend, Charlie Puth.

But how about those New Jersey actors who have risen to the top of Hollywood and still needed more. They wanted to be rock stars, too.
So who are these rock-loving New Jersey actors? The names might just surprise you.
Bruce Willis. Yes, Die Hard’s John McClane is a singer, in case you didn’t know. He released an album, titled The Return of Bruno in 1987. And believe it or not, one of his songs was a top 5 hit.

The song was called “Respect Yourself”, it featured June Pointer, from Pointer Sisters fame, and it hit #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
Joe Pesci. It’s really not fair to call Joe Pesci an actor who wanted to be a rock star, because his career really started in music. He once played guitar for Joey Dee and the Starliters.
