Look up Jensen Ackles from Supernatural singing Angeles. He's a brilliant singer ^^

 
I was gonna say Jensen singing 'Eye of the Tiger'!  I don't even keep up with that show, but those guys are both awesome.  ;D


Edit - Just adding a link of it here, if you like --  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTsxF47wx5M
And, I had no idea RDJ guested/sang on Ally McBeal!  That's adorable.

Bertie Carvel!  I don't think very many Sherlock fans took an interest in him after seeing him in The Blind Banker, sadly, but he's a tremendously talented actor and he's got an incredible voice.  Not just as a singer (though he does sing beautifully) but using his voice to create a character.

Here he is as Miss Trunchbull in Matilda the Musical.  This is a really great example of him doing a character voice while singing.  




And here's a clip of him recording a song for the Broadway cast recording.  I just love seeing him do the voice without the costume. 




And here he is singing (with Lara Pulver, also relevant to this board) with his own voice.  There's a few minutes of dialogue at the start of this video, singing starts at 3:00.

Most of the ones we've been sharing are the 'cool, I didn't know they were musical' type, and with the creativity in the business, I've heard of plenty of them knowing an instrument/playing on set!  Being able to sing well though, now… movie musicals aside, where you'd need some skill (loved Emmy Rossum in PotO!), I was still pleasantly surprised by Anna Kendrick's nice voice when came across the clip of the 'cup song' that was super popular from Pitch Perfect.  She even did a music video of it:
