Stumbled across the line at #182 here. I was a bit surprised that David Bowie, Eminem, and WILL FREAKIN' SMITH didn't qualify for the musicians and neither Bruce Lee nor Brian Bosworth triggered the athletes.

Surprised Bob Dylan didn't make it as well, particularly considering one of his songs is name-checked in the title of one of the quests, and that he was in a Sam Peckinpah movie.

EDIT: I'm also disappointed that Groucho Marx doesn't work for the comedian part of the set.

Okay, fair enough Jennifer Hudson doesn't pop on the Mr Tambourine Man one, because sure she won an Oscar an all but she doesn't do much acting/singing (This is a comment on the quantity, not quality, I still haven't actually seen her in anything). But really? Bing Crosby won't hit either?

some omissions which I thought were a bit odd, and I still have no real clue what 'hustled and flowed' meant as a clue, though I have an idea now given the actors that set the quest off. Managed to get it though.

Can anyone give me any pointers for "Acting Was The Case That They Gave Me"?  I can't figure out how the criteria is filled.  I accidentally got 2 of them (only one of which I can remember, and I was aiming at him for a tambourine), but a third eludes me, without having the slightest clue how they are chosen.

@ArkaneArkade: Look for rappers and hip-hop artists that have made the transition into movies. The first reply post in this thread gives a hint towards one of them. With a little critical thinking you can easily put this section of the quest on ICE.

Cheers dude, that got me it instantly.  I completely missed the rap part (not a rap fan, maybe that contributed).  I did have one of the Ice fellows - the one like the english drink, but I'd missed the shapely fellow. 
 
Muchos Gracias.

I can't believe that it took me so long to think of a 5th comedian. Or that  Richard Pryor wasn't one of them.

No Dwight Yokam or DAVID BOWIE for musicians turned actors? 
Good sets anyway. Keep up the good work.

Well Bowie was really well known for Labyrinth and The Prestige right? 
 
Anyway, just hit at # 344.

Everyone seems to be struggling with the singers-turned-actors, but it's right there in the title: Singers turned actors who then won an Oscar. 
Great quest set! #362
