Which poker star would make the best movie star

I always wondered with the rising popularity of poker in America, i was wondering when our poker giants make that jump to the big screen. Im thinking Patrick Attonious becuase he use to be a model, use to being in front of the camera. Maybe Phil Ivey, hmmm what does everyone else think?

I don't know which one would make the best,but if you ever seen that movie lucky you,I know it isn't going to be sam farha.
Mike matusow would probably make a good onw though.

Vanessa Rousso. As I have this reply box in front of me searching for an answer to why, I honestly didn't want to admit I found her to be the least bit hot, but here we are ;p

Jennifer Tilly and Shannon Elizabeth. ... Oh wait....

You know i can see daniel negreanu doing some acting ,but he would have to star in a broke poor kid from nothing to where he is now.that would be something to see .

There's a couple I wouldn't mind seeing in porn.........ooops, did I say that!
Can I use that word here? LOL


And I meant women. LOL

Personally Sammy Farha would be my pick. He's so smooth.

Scotty Nygen in wishmaster BABY!

daniel N. was in xmen ldo

The best story is probably Scotty Nguyen. He went from almost eating his brother (due to starvation on an illegal immigration boat) to the WSOP ME winner (and $50k HORSE winner).

Did you read my post???
in the movie lucky you sam farha was horrible.

I just dont see any of them like movie stars...but i'm sure many of them would have been great actors...they allready are at the poker tables

I think the Devilfish would make a good villain.

i think phil hellmuth would make a good something......... lol

who knows what ....but he could be someone who degrades everyone else and has no friends lol

mike matusow as the rodney dangerfield character in a remake of caddyshack?

Put Laak and Matusow in one of those goofy road movies, where they drive across the country chasing girls and trying to get to the WSOP.

Well Daniel N. Would be good. I liked him in the new Xmen movie.

^ this. I can totally see him in a Guy Ritchie movie or something. Though they'd have to get him to stop dressing like a 15 year old and go back to his suits and knuckle dusters.

Otherwise, I dunno. Anyone else see Hevad Kahn doing OK in a Jim Carrey type role?

And LOL @ the talk about Negreanu in Wolverine. He had a two second non-speaking cameo, where he used his epic acting skills to convince the world that he was... a poker player. Seriously, LOL.

Durrrr Reminds me of finch out of American Pie so im sure he'd be pretty good as a geek wanting to get laid in a high school movie

I want to see Chris Ferguson in a western. He fit right in with the Tombstone posse.

I would go with Howard Lederer the Teacher in a remake of that crappy movie "21". Mike the Mouth in a movie about drug use and Doyle as a cowboy in a "Tombstone" type of movie. (he would be the guy sitting at the table in the bar playing poker. lol)

Big stretches huh? lol

I would think someone with a bit of charisma, like Scotty Nguyen or Joe Hachem.

I would say Negreanu as Norton

any of the hot chicks!!!! but daniel n. would be great bc of his personality. other than that patrick a. is also a good one. phil laak. Shannon elizebeth? oh ya nevermind!!

I could see Phil Gordon as a sub teacher in the remake of Blackboard Jungle.

Scotty. He's like an action star.

that was goot

annie duke doing what she does best in a porn

i agree....that role would be just great 4 him...he was gr8 in the new X-men movie..so i`m looking forward 2 seeing him in other movies 2

Helmuth as Neo in The Matrix.

...He can dodge bullets, baby.

Apparently you havent seen the 3rd installment of the X-Men. Daniel Negreanu is a poker player across from Gambit. Not much of a stretch of the imagination, but deffinately a nice touch.

chris fergusson obviously guys come on, just look at him his personality was made for the camera, i can picture him in lord of the rings as gandolf, or in evan almighty as the god, i mean come on he is jesus. Chris fergusson was made for the camera and that's y u c him in most poker commercials, the dude is a star and would b great for any movie. Jeeze i'd go as far as to say fergusson is the next chuck norris, the dude can chop a carrot in half with a poker card for god sakes lol. chris fergusson for president in 2017

Hmmm ... I vote for Hoyt Corkin. Forget Scotty after that drunken tirade last year.

Daniel Negreanu in shifty character type of roll maybe as the head henchman for a crime boss.
or Chris Ferguson as a vigilante type of roll, not a super hero thing or anything but the like the old show the Equilizer, just kinda going around righting wrongs.
or Doyle Brunson in a western as the Ranch Boss, kinda like Robert Duvall in some of his later movies.
Just my $0.02
