I know he's not an actor or a singer, but, still like to included him. Lyricist Lam Jik. I've always like his work.

[Cesare]

Well, Michael Jackson wrote that book of poems and reflections - Dancing the Dream. (Very juvenile stuff, to say the least, but I guess it does count as a book.)

[Ken Cheng]

Not a singer or any kind of great actor, but NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has written a few well-received books on African-American history that have been praised by scholars. We know Kareem for his deadly accurate Skyhook shot and a few bad movies during the 1970s, but the man is much more than a basketball player.
