Justin Randall Timberlake is an American singer-songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer. Born and raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. I usually don't praise musicians who act in movies, but I've seen him in Alpha Dog, and I'm a fan! He's a solid actor who won 2 Emmys. He still has a lot of room for improvement, but he's the only current musician who can act. He has also top-billed in blockbusters like The Social Network which was nominated for 8 Oscars, his role definitely didn't ruin the credibility of the film and that's saying something. He gets highest ratings on an SNL episode in the entire year because his timing on camera is ridic good and his comedic impersonations are on point. He's shared the screen with greats like Samuel L Jackson and co-starring with Ben Affleck in an upcoming movie :-)
Justin timberlake is a great pop sensation and a good actor to watch there days. He is extremely hot and gorgeous. Should deserve a second spot.
Justin timberland is in my favorite movie "In Time" and my favorite song "Not a Bad Thing"! So he is the best!
I love Justin timberlake
