Vote up the former and current boy banders who are the best actors.

The boy band craze started in the early ‘60s and never quite died down. First came The Jackson 5 and The Monkees, then came New Edition and New Kids on the Block. The ‘90s brought us The Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, while the 2000s were all about the Jonas Brothers and One Direction, who are still making waves as we speak. There’s always going to be a boy band stealing the spotlight and conquering teens’ hearts, so we might as well get used to their catchy pop tunes and crazy hair already.

But what happens to boy band members after their groups split up? While some retire early, others decide to launch solo careers, sometimes even successfully. And then there’s the boy bander who wants to act. An elusive species, but fascinating nonetheless. There have been some fortunate cases of actors who were in boy bands, and we’re here to rank them all. From Justin Timberlake to Marky Mark, vote up the best boy band actors.
