Despite the mass appeal of music videos and the awesome amount of talent it takes to create them, IMDb has never cataloged these works like they do other short films. Now along to fill this niche is the Internet Music Video Database (IMVDb), a similar website for seeking and contributing information about music videos. Highlights include new releases, popular videos, upcoming videos, crew commentary tracks, and awards info. The website also has a podcast, a twitter, and a blog, where the editors have recently discussed the most popular music videos of 2014, listed their own year end favorites, and explained why the 2010s are a new Golden Age of music videos. (Extensive geekery inside!)
Inspired by this resource I decided to look up how many of the biggest-name actors and directors have made music videos. It was a surprising majority. It also turned out that the IMVDb was missing a lot of this information, so I used Internet searches, Google Books, Wikipedia, and IMDb's disorganized "Other Work" and "Trivia" info to search through individual names and make my own list. Nothing online is remotely as comprehensive, and I decided this post would be a good place to unveil it.
Below is a long list of music videos that have famous actors and/or directors (Links are provided for some 650 different videos). I'm sure that there is a long tail of less famous names that I am neglecting, and I'm sure that this is even an incomplete list of the bigger names. It inevitably reflects my tastes and knowledge, so it is more likely to contain people from the movies/television that I'm familiar with. I do include some cameos from other kinds of celebrities, like musicians and athletes, but I mostly tried to avoid them. I also tried to avoid videos from comedy albums or TV programs. Actor involvement in the video isn't counted if scenes are from movie clips. It also isn't counted if the actor is a part of the band or performs on the original track. (... sorry, Sir Laurence Olivier!)
ACTORS
I've subjectively organized these videos into six categories, based on the actor's amount of screen time or how central they are to the video's narrative or concept: Lead Role, Major Supporting Role, Multiple Supporting Roles, Minor Supporting Role, Cameo Role, and Multiple Cameo Roles. It's a disorienting number of videos to explore, so I've placed stars next to 5 performances that I liked in each category.
