It works--very well. In fact, after listening to the album, I asked myself why somebody like that would ever be an actor. Admittedly, I haven't sat down and watched Believer yet, but his other movies seem ho-hum. I refuse to watch The Notebook.
EDIT:
Speaking of "crossovers" and speaking of spoken word, here is a copy of Closed on Account of Rabies: Poems and Tales of Edgar Allan Poe (1997).

You should watch Half Nelson.

Or you should just look at my awesome microsoft paint version of half nelson instead.
After reading the responses to this thread, I'd like to say:
Firstly, that I love Henry Rollins, and if Rollins made a hip hop R&B album produced by Lil Wayne and Chamillionaire I'd probably buy it. Especially if one of the tracks featured Lydia Lunch.
Lastly, I understand that there's this whole "Art is art no matter what medium one uses" ideology, but I don't necessarily agree with it. Just because someone is an amazing painter (for example) and they have a relatively decent singing voice, doesn't mean that they should star in a feature film just to make some extra money. I guess that's all interchangeable. Just because someone is an amazing singer, and a relatively decent actor, doesn't mean they should paint a few mediocre paintings and try to sell them for a buttload of money. or Just because someone is an amazing actor, and a relatively decent painter, doesn't mean that they should put out a new mainstream pop/rock/hip hop album to make some extra money.
I guess my beef isn't with the medium in which an artist chooses to express themselves with, but rather the idea that just because I'm successful with one medium means that I must be successful with all mediums. I suppose it's just another way to attach another tag to their "brand." Oh he/she is an actor,singer, poet, artist, perfumer,clothier,mogul,mongul acrobatic gymnast with a penchant for adventure and a sex tape.
i wish those were the tags attached to my personal brand...sigh.

Phantom Planet=Eh, alright.
Coconut Records=Amazing.
And so was Darjeeling Limited. Jason Schwartzman is the only person who's successfully pulled it off, I think.
