Ok, what celebrities do you all know that actually play pool. When I mean celebrities I am talking like actors or singers, etc.

I know Paul Newman must love pool since he played in both the Hustler and the Color of Money.

Who all do you guys know that are celebrities and avid pool players?

I have seen quite a few, since I have lived in both NYC and L.A.
Celebs I have actually seen in a pool hall; Liev Schrieber, Eric La Salle, Jason Lewis, Jason Gedrick, Paul Sovorino, Anthony Michale Hall, Jerry Seinfield, Ron Perlman and Dan Futterman.

I have heard that these people also play; Sarah McLachlan, Michael Vartan from Alias(supposedly wanted to go pro), Hugh Grant, Matthew Perry andTom Waits.

Oh and I forgot here in Atlanta I saw the heavy black guy from SNL and I hear the Indigo Girls play at Mr. Cues sometimes.

Don't know if he came back to CC or not, I have never heard of him.

I was in the Army 4 years, and wife was in 10 years. We both play all over Corpus, and I haven't met him Yet....

Ha, if you are really the Joe Rogan, it is not the first time you have been mentioned. When he (you?) was on that celeb billiards show, there was some talk about you (him?) being a B player on the tri state tour...?

Here's another one for you guys, Dean Stockwell, who played "Al" in Quantum Leap, they had an episode, named after one of Tuts Washington's piano tracks, "Pool Hall Blues", the cue stick in that show, "Alberta", I believe was Dean's own cue stick, but I think that Scott Bakula also shoots pool regularly also :)
