Depending on the type of font you’re comfortable with, Alice Cooper’s list of acting credits on IMDb is longer than Kachina, his pet snake which features on the sleeve of his 1971 album Killer. Unlike his late boa constrictor, his acting chops have gone from strength to strength, even though he was cruelly snubbed by the Academy Awards for his cameo in the 1992 film Wayne’s World, where he taught young metalheads around the world the correct pronunciation of a certain Wisconsin city.
Given that his live performances leaned heavily on the side of theatrical, it came as no surprise that he’d be a shoo-in at many Hollywood casting calls. He’s appeared in many full-length features over the years: his own band appeared as themselves in the X-rated 1970 drama Diary Of A Mad Housewife, and later as a singing waiter in the 1977 comedy Sextette, alongside Mae West and The Who drummer Keith Moon. Other acting credits include Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), vampire horror comedy Suck (2009) and most recently voice of Windy Pete in the 2020 kid’s cartoon Bubble Guppies. He’s also made cameos in The Muppet Show and The Snoop Sisters, too.
