Ten actors who had a top ten hit in the United States:
- Walter Brennan ("Old Rivers," no. 5, 1962)
- Eddie Murphy ("Party All the Time," no. 1, 1986)
- Hilary Duff ("So Yesterday," no. 1, 2003)
- Shelley Fabares ("Johnny Angel," no. 1, 1962)

- Patrick Swayze ("She's Like the Wind," no. 3, 1998)
- Tracey Ullman ("They Don't Know," no. 8, 1984)
This list is for misterweasel, who for some reason wanted to see Patrick Swayze mentioned in a list. Here's an interesting fact about the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, on which "She's Like the Wind" appeared: the first four songs on that album peaked on the U.S. charts at numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
