A super random question but I was kinda curious who are the big actors that play poker. I've seen some at the main event but that never means they take it seriously.

Poker actors

I know Ben Affleck won a big tourney a couple of years ago and Meg Tilley is also a pretty good player. He still acts, not sure about Meg>

Mimi Rogers is on the board of the World Poker Tour and she definitely takes it seriously. I agree with bigjay2007 that Meg Tilly is pretty good, I see her often on the Poker Central.

I'm thinking that James Wood is a very good poker player. I've seen him on television several times and I know he's cashed, as well as the actor whose last name is Pollock. He was The Usual Suspects.

From what I've read Toby Maguire is a pretty good cash player albeit a sore loser and a bit of a dick at the table.

Ya Kaplan has been playing all kinds of diff poker games forever so he is actually pretty good, but I think James Woods is probably the best. He used to play quite a bit in the LA card rooms.

:eek: At least I can on occasion fool me self. Not often mind, but on occasion.:)

:p

I'm still shoving into AA or KK, today was KK's turn in a $1.10 R+A and with about 22 till the money I went from top 10 (around 6th) to out at 57th with AQ for a 103k pot and the chip lead. :( loonies were shoving crap and hitting and I was hoping for a loon to call my shove pre.

I need to learn that method acting style that's all the rage, maybe my poker will improve.

:(

Jennifer Tilley. While playing nlhe, seems like she's always got a big pair!

A close 2nd would be Kenzie. She's a very good player from what I hear too.

Affleck and Kaplan probably. I'm actually working with a celebrity actor right now teaching them to play for the new Molly's game movie that is going to begin shooting in a few weeks. I'm going to be playing in a hollywood home game here soon with some of the peeps mentioned in here, so I'll try and report back and let you know how they actually do play. :)
