A talent for "entertaining" really - with a healthy dose of Protestant work ethic, if one is determined and confident enough why should one NOT be able to act as well as sing? Plus the obvious realisation that pop singing and acting are pretty much, give or take the ability to hit notes, fundamentally about PERFORMANCE and CHARACTER - they're not really dissimilar fields. And plus a lot more openness to the concept of self-as-brand.
I think the UK is (eventually) going to go that way more and more. It wouldn't surprise me to see Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse in films a few years hence (if the latter is still alive anyway).
