Actors who are "triple threats"--they can really sing, really act, and really dance.

The late, great Gregory Hines – although, I suppose he’s not really a singer.

I saw a documentary once where someone said Judy Garland never got enough credit for her dancing and that she was a superb dancer.

Definitely not Raquel Welch. She doesn’t move her arms when she dances.

Steve Martin.

Frank Sinatra. Could sing reasonably well, held his own dancing with Gene Kelly and acting opposite Marlon Brando. Brando and Kelly also could do all three.

Anne Hathaway really impressed me with her opening performance during last year’s Academy Awards. She’s a five-tool talent: looks, boobs, voice, moves, acts.

And he plays the banjo, too. Quadruple threat!

+1

I’ve got to second Donald O’conner.

How can we get this far and not mention Dean Martin? I think the man was born on a stage. Singing and dancing were as natural as breathing for him. His acting was at least average and pretty good in some cases.

Debbie Reynolds.

Does Jack Black count? Or is he a negative triple threat in that he’s offered many opportunities to do all three and does none of them well?

Steve Martin came out the winner in this thread on multi-talented people.

In all fairness, I guess we have to mention Jason Alexander (yeah, I know . . .).

Judy Garland should be given the #1 slot in this thread.

Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters are the reason I saw *Into the Woods *four times.

And I don’t think anyone’s mentioned Barbra Streisand (yes, she has danced, even on roller skates).

John Travolta can dance and act, and his singing is not horrible, IMHO.

YMMV, of course.

Isn’t Jason Alexander know for his chops on the dance floor, as well as signing? I know he won a tony for a musical, Tony Robbin’s Broadway, or something like that.

Wow, that is some bad spelling.
Sheesh

kevin spacey sings and acts. Is he considered a dancer too?

Jane Krakowski. Vicki Lewis.

Let’s add Beyonce to the list. Her acting was pretty good in Austin Powers.

Nope. She sucked.
