In 1978, Frampton played Billy Shears in the film ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (film)|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'', starring along with the three brothers Gibb of the band the [[Bee Gees]]. The film was inspired by the Beatles [[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band|album of the same name]]. Critics{{who|date=November 2024}} were hostile, and the film was a box-office failure. In 1978, Frampton appeared on the parody talk show, ''[[America 2-Night]]''. In 1988, Frampton appeared in the video release of David Bowie's ''[[Glass Spider]]'', a video recording of the 1987 [[Glass Spider Tour|tour of the same name]].

Also in 2000, Frampton served as a [[technical advisor]] for [[Cameron Crowe]]'s autobiographical film, ''[[Almost Famous]]''.

Crudup is quoted as saying, "Who could ask for a better tutor than Peter Frampton?"
