Michael Jackson

Throughout his long career, internationally acclaimed music superstar Michael Jackson has sporadically made film appearances as an actor, notably in his first starring role in The Wiz (1978), but he is best known for producing cutting-edge feature-film quality music videos such as "Thriller," "Billie Jean," and "Black or White." He has also produced films for Disney virtual rides, the first of which was the extremely popular Francis Ford Coppola-directed Captain Eo (1985), which ran at Disney World in Orlando until 1997. Jackson has also composed music and songs for movie soundtracks. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
