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!
