Despite being a musician first, Starr began dabbling in the film industry during his time with the Beatles. In the '60s and early '70s, he appeared in four films with the band, portraying fictional versions of himself in A Hard Day's Night (1964), Help! (1965), Magical Mystery Tour (1967), and Let It Be (1970).
Among all the members' performances, Starr was often cited as the best actor in the group, notably being referred to as a "natural" by professionals in the film industry. Director Richard Lester even called him a "superb actor" after A Hard Day's Night premiered. Following the Beatles' split in the early '70s, Starr began exploring his acting prowess more, appearing in films unrelated to his involvement with the band.

Throughout his nearly 20-year acting career, Starr has portrayed over 12 distinct roles. Of his various roles, three were voice-acted. From 1984 to 1986, he voiced the narrator for the children's television series Thomas & Friends, and starred as Mr. Conductor on Shining Time Station in 1989, a series associated with the Thomas & Friends franchise.
To this day, Starr continues to pursue a solo music career. Throughout his life, he has achieved two No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, topping the chart in 1973 with his song "Photograph" and in 1974 with his cover of Johnny Burnette's song "You're Sixteen."
