Aside from creating music that enthused the masses around the the world he was the Goblin King in the movie The Labrynth.

I remember listening to Bowie as a child without even knowing who he was because my mom would play his music. Well that and Twisted Sister. lol

Let's all be thankful we can still go to one of his live concerts or at least see him do an interview. David Bowie is a musical genius whether you like his songs or not. He revolutionized music and today all his music is just as popular as it was when it first came out which is rare in today's music scene.
