As far as I can tell, How I Won the War was Lennon's only film in which he played a fictional character. The rest of his acting credits on IMDB consist of A Hard Day's Night, Help!, archival footage, and a film directed by Yoko and himself (in which they appear as themselves).

and Rollins was in Lost Highway, Jack Frost, Bad Boys II, Wrong Turn 2, The Devil's Tomb (had to look that one up, but he talked about it a lot on the 2008 tour) and probably a dozen or so other b-movies and Hollywood bit parts; acting's how he funds 2.13 these days.

Mark Kozelek was only in "Almost Famous", though I'm not sure playing what's effectively yrself counts.
He's also in Shopgirl... basically playing himself again.

Richard Hell was in one film. I saw it. I can't remember the name of it. It starts with a girl going all through the NYC subways sticking pictures of herself to train windows with dish detergent.

@ (e_3): Thanks for the memory re. Smithereens. It was a fun flick. And I forgot about Desperately Seeking Susan. Sorry. In fact, having been reminded, I still don't remember Richard being in it. That's the way it goes. :-)

According to IMDB, Tim Buckley was only in two movies, but one of them was an uncredited part. Supposedly at the time of his death he was in the running to play Woody Guthrie in Bound for Glory.

And of course, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová have said Once will be their only film (aside from Hansard being in The Commitments but who cares).

Tony Bennett - The Oscar
Damn, looks like Johnny Cash starred in two movies. (And a shitload of TV.)
I think there's a bunch of country stars who did this, but they all seem to have kept making more; Toby Keith's got two already!
