Movie Stars that can handle musical instrument well

Clint Eastwood -- piano
Antonio Banderas -- guitar
Steven Segal -- guitar

It's an old trick to include famous actor for better commercial success. Johnny Depp plays scored few notes on the guitar pretty clean, but still think it's more for commercial success than for the benefit of the gig.
