I caught this little gem on HBO once, and being an instrumentalist, was impressed with how well Dermot Mulroney seemed to handle the cello. Often, actors handle an instrument as if they've never touched one before (see Richard Dreyfuss in "The Competition". . .he played the piano as if it was going to BITE him.)

I assumed that Mulroney actually DID play, and I was right. In Melissa Etheridge's new book, there is a photo of Dermot at the cello. . .he played on a cut from one of her albums.

Do you know of other stars that play instruments? Here are some that I know of. . .

Phyllis Diller (Piano) Dudley Moore (Piano and Organ) Kaye Ballard (Flute) Lori Singer (Cello) Peter Weller (Flugelhorn) Warren Beatty (Piano) Clint Eastwood (Piano)
