I will post some examples but when I say triple threat I mean the actor has to excel in all 3+ roles. Examples would include Donald Glover, he started as a comedian but became a great actor and musician along the way. Same goes for Jamie Foxx, he is an actor comedian and singer. Hugh Jackman is amazing at acting, singing and acting so he counts along with Jennifer Lopez. What say you gaf, which actor has the the most impressive resume? I should mention being model level hot can count towards their triple threat status, sorry guys I don't make the rules.

Robin Williams
Sam Rockwell

He hasn't written or directed anything as far as im aware, I could you could argue him being a dancer counts as a 3rd.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Lin-Manuel Miranda. Let It Go, We Don't Talk About Bruno, Hamilton. Crazy.

 

[Major Insano]

Seth Mcfarlane
Robin Williams
Tommy Wiseau

Donald Glover is impressive. Funny writer, good actor, and accomplished singer.

What the hell is with all the Will Smith-adjacent threads lately? Did his publicist discover GAF or something?

Haven't you heard? Will smith used AI to generate crowds. This AI also knows how to generate engagement.

Robin Williams
Sam Rockwell
Jim Carrey

Got the two I was after. Didn't have Sam come to mind but wholeheartedly agree.

 

[bitbydeath]

Hugh Jackman is amazing at acting, singing and acting

I don't know about triple threat but the most iconic dynamic duo actor is of course Jean Claude Vandamme in Double impact.

Actually JCVD is also the quintessential quintet actor, in addition to Alex and Chad Wagner, he played Frank Dux, Kurt Sloane and Chance Boudreaux.

 

[Ballthyrm]

Seth Mcfarlane

I would also go for Seth Mcfarlane.

Good voice actor,
Okay actor,
Good comedic writer,
Good dramatic writer,
Great singer,
Great show runner,
Great producer.

Clint Eastwood.

[calistan]

There are countless people who are known mainly for acting, but after years of stage school they're pretty damn good at the whole song and dance.

Olivia Wilde: actor, director, hot as fuck.

 

[Poppinfresh]

Cher

Comedy/Variety show with Sonny
Long music career
Academy award winning actress


EDIT: She was hot as hell in her prime, too

 

[Ellis]

Jackie Chan

Writer, director, singer, fight choreographer, participated in comedies, action, dramas, etc.

Impeccable choice. I said Nic Cage, who I think is a good choice, but I should have said Jackie too. Kicking myself now.

I can sing the bloody end credits song to Police Story 2 in Chinese. And I can't even speak Chinese

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Zack Cregger is a new triple threat.

Actor (Whitest Kids U Know)
Horror-Comedy-Thriller Writer & Director (Barbarian & Weapons)

I wouldn't vote for him as best, just calling it out.

 

[Coconutt]

Clint Eastwood.

Actor
Director
Musician

That old guy with the gravely ass voice is a singer? Had no clue.

 

[intbal]

Fred Astaire
Gene Kelly
Rita Hayworth

 

[NeverYouMind]

Dean Martin forever and always. Boxer, singer, and actor (both comedic and dramatic).




P.S. He was also an airforce pilot so I suppose you could even call him a quadruple threat.

P.S.S. Arnold Schwartzenegger would also be a choice as he did professional body building, real estate, acting, and politics. I just do not think of him as being as accomplished in acting.

 

[AJUMP23]

No Jennifer love Hewitt?

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

David Hasselhof. That is if you're allowed to have extra threats because "triple threat" would be selling him quite short.

 

[SJRB]

 

[Wildebeest]

There is only one man who is absolutely perfect at everything he did, you might call him the infinite threat.

 

[clarky]

David Bowie gets my vote.

 

[Major Insano]

I can sing the bloody end credits song to Police Story 2 in Chinese.

That's my favourite JC movie.
Love the fight with the mute nerd at the end.

He's a great shout for a triple threat as well.
