When Beck was an adolescent, he appeared in Rene Daalder's punk-rock movie-musical POPULATION: 1 (1986)
Beck pretended to play the accordion on a whirling stage during a party scene (see clip below)
This was not Beck's FIRST film appearanceβ¦ but that's a whole OTHER storyβ¦

The Last Temptation of Beck: The Untold Story of a Pop Messiah
From the author of the New York Times bestseller Ringmaster and the Hugo finalist True Believer, a propulsive and stylish account of Beck, who was received as a pop messiah in the 1990s, but whose closest friends and most devoted fans never knew his buried secrets.Once upon a time, there was a man who made himself into a myth. He went by a single name: Beck. He sang songs that didnβt make easy sense in plain English, but which were somehow urgent and undeniable to those who heard them. He mined a dizzying array of musical styles from the past to construct albums that were eminently of the zeitgeist. Before and after the smash success of his 1993 single βLoser,β he was the hardest-working slacker in America. He went platinum multiple times over. And for a time, he was regarded by journalists and devoted fans alike as the βpop messiahββa title that referred not just to the new energy he brought to the radio and MTV, but to the devotion he inspired. But something happened to Beck Hansen, right at the turn of the millennium. His music, once defiant and bombastic, turned morose and inward-facing. It was more than just a musical shift. Beck destroyed the online forum where his devoted fans had gathered. He cut ties with the small collective of LA-based bohemians heβd come up alongside, surrounding himself instead with sycophants and celebrities. Beck had been born and raised in the Church of Scientology; many in his orbit feared heβd been pulled back to the faith. In the years since, Beckβs music has continued to win accolades, including multiple Grammys. But the true story of Beck in the nineties and beyond has never been told. With sensitivity and an arrestingly original style, New York Times bestselling author Josephine Riesman offers a vivid and multifaceted look at a singular artist and the Generation Xers for whom he became a reluctant spokesman. Drawing from interviews with those whoβve been closest to Beck, as well as troves of never-before-published documents, Riesman offers a story about authenticity and irony, paranoia and belief. Situated at the last gasp of the millennium, itβs more than a simple biographyβitβs a riveting drama about the blurry lines between fandom and worship; between myth and lies; and between the old world that is dying and the new one that still struggles to be born.
