Jesse Peretz was on the first three Lemonheads albums and then went on to direct some Hollywood type movies. Yes romantic comedy but still. Makes me jealous, I'm not much at anything and some can just do whatever :evil:

Lars Ulrich was a semi-pro tennis player. He then quit music and joined Metallica.
