I would think it almost necessary for Haley to have a higher profile as a singer to make any real headway on the acting front. Unless she were to somehow wrangle a major role because of her singing talent (like the Stevie Nicks biopic). There are many aspiring starlets who have seriously studied acting that it would be difficult to stand out otherwise. Consider though Stevie Nicks once wanted Reese Witherspoon to play her and she's now aged out of the role. Singers and actors typically have a small window -- when they're relatively young -- to break through and obtain widespread recognition. It's easier to climb one ladder and leap to the other than climbing two ladders at once.
Well, Janelle Monet has recently crossed over from singing to acting.
For me, it's more..if you are the singer/actor type..you're an entertainer..as opposed to a musician. It's hard to get credibility as a musician once you do the crossover..
Now, maybe Haley doesn't care at all. It would just be a shame, IMO, if she's seen as a starlet, rather than for the amazing vocals she has.
