I've known about some (Don Johnson, Tatyana Ali, Joey Lawrence) and have just recently learned about some others (Kim Fields, Tisha Campbell, Jasmine Guy). Vaguely fascinated with this phenomenon (which seemed to be much more of a 'thing' in the '80s and '90s) and, given the fact that most of it has faded into obscurity, I'm wondering if there's any worth checking out.
I'll kick things off with these mini-masterpieces:

there boundaries for this are way too loose.this is a never ending list.i mean it wont be long before we get bruce willis being dropped here, and thats of no benefit to anyone.after all, get a bit of fame on a tv show, and there will be a record label knocking on your agents door within a few weeks.in the 60s alone we could fill up the allocated cloud space.i mean, what about the monkees, the archies, the partridge family etc etc.

Manning began acting in the late 1990s, appearing in small roles in several film and television productions, including episodes of The Practice, Get Real, Speedway Junky, NYPD Blue and Popular. She also made a guest-appearance on the TV series Boston Public, in a role that was specifically written for her. In 1999, she was featured in an independent film called Speedway Junky. She also auditioned for the American version of Popstars, which aired in early 2001 on The WB.

My intention in starting the thread was to dredge up people who had a one-off hit or weren't necessarily well-known for their music career or, y'know, who didn't go to a fame school and fall into television with singing and dancing already in their toolbelt. More in that vein:
