May 13, 20188 yr My wife and I were having this discussion today in light of how much we both loved "This is America"..... Who are the most amazing multi-dimensional talents in our world today? Our top 3 (actually 4, we had a tie) were as follows: 1. Donald Glover - Perhaps the most breath-taking artist alive and so talented in music, comedy, acting, and all the artistic elements he blends in. 2. The Rock - He might have even more range as a performer than Glover, but not the same musical chops 3A. Jennifer Lopez - Not my cup of tea, but you have to tip your cap 3B. Kris Kristofferson - The accolades during this man's career are hard to fathom Did we forget anyone?
May 13, 20188 yr Viggo Mortensen. Actor, producer, writer, poet, musician, painter, and speaks 7 languages. The quintessential Renaissance man.
May 15, 20188 yr Ben Stein. Deep intellectual. Consummate actor. OK, well, 0 out of 2 isn't bad. More seriously, I always kind of liked Cher, as a successful pop singer who became a pretty respected actress too. (And semi-seriously, I kind of wonder if Lady Gaga could surprise us by taking some kind of similar route later on.) Multi-dimensional, gotta mention Shohei Ohtani.
May 15, 20188 yr Ed O'Neill (married with children, modern family) is a 10th degree black belt in Brazilian Jujitsu. Nick Offerman (parks and rec) is a master woodworker, and an accomplished dancer. Tony Danza was a gold gloves boxer. Edited May 15, 20188 yr by Mr. Brooks

Lady Gaga already won a Golden Globe for actress in a mini-series in 2016 for American Horror Story. She’s always said that acting was her first love.

May 24, 20188 yr How has no one mentioned Eddie Murphy?! Actually, even though the music career was rough, he's not a bad candidate. He was one of the first guys to have a huge standup career, be very good in sketch/improv, and have chops as a film actor. Also...Prince. Even just in music, Prince...and David Bowie before him.
