Bruce Springsteen the boss of rock n’ roll have written songs strictly for movies in Hollywood before. One song is “Streets of Philadelphia” for the film “Philadelphia”, and the other one is “Secret Garden” for the film “Jerry Maguire”. Both of those tunes became major hits even though they weren’t included on any of Springsteen’s albums, just for the soundtracks alone.

Springsteen wrote an original song for Darren Aronofsky’s next film “The Wrestler” for the closing credits, Springsteen wrote a song for the film under the same title of the movie.

In other movie projects, Springsteen lands his first acting role for a small cameo in a film titled “Funny People” which is a comedy film. The screen writer written Springsteen in the film for a hilarious scene. Springsteen never had an acting role before.
