Movies with Maynard James Keenan

Maynard James Keenan is a singular screen presence, bringing his powerful, emotive vocals and commanding stage presence to the world of cinema. Known primarily as the frontman for the genre-bending rock groups Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer, Keenan has carved out a unique niche for himself as a thoughtful, experimental actor. Rather than pursue the traditional Hollywood route, Keenan has gravitated towards projects that allow him to explore his introspective, philosophical side. Films like "A Curmudgeon's Guide to Divine Collisions and Pythagorean Oenology" and the Puscifer concert films showcase his ability to convey complex emotional states through his music and performance. Whether playing a reclusive, wine-making eccentric or simply delivering an electrifying live set, Keenan imbues every role with a sense of earnest intensity that captivates audiences. Keenan's acting work also reflects his commitment to the arts, frequently collaborating with other musicians and creative visionaries. From the star-studded "2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony" to the intimate, behind-the-scenes glimpses of his own bands in films like "Tool: Live at Lollapalooza Argentina 2025," Keenan demonstrates a deep understanding of the creative process and an ability to translate that to the screen. As he continues to push the boundaries of what a rock star-turned-actor can achieve, Maynard James Keenan remains a singular, utterly compelling figure in the world of independent and experimental cinema.
