best celebrity players?

Anybody knows Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao? He's got the best teacher money can buy... ;)

I've of course heard that Jackie Gleason was a good player, and that Paul Newman gained some skills during filming of "the Hustler". I also heard that Peter Faulk enjoyed playing and his Columbo character always seemed to notice when the villian du jour had a table in his home. Are there many other notables from hollywood, politics or sports that knew their way around a table? There's a whole world of billiard experience on this forum so if anyone knows, you guys must. Just out of curiousity, who are (or were) the best?
this same post appeared several months ago.
Those in the "know" have only one name-Mark Kendall-lead guitarist for Great White. The regulars at Hard Times laugh at any other choice.
 
Let's see Manny Pacquiao vs. Mark Kendall. A good match up here. Manny would try to bet sky high and make Mark quiver. Mark would opt for a slightly smaller bet, maybe a thousand a set. And then he would rob him.

Mark is about one full speed above Manny. That's how I handicap them. If they play even, Mark is a pretty good favorite.
 
Stewart

There's a pic on the justiscases website of a case made for Tony Stewart...

Don't know if he's any good though, but it earned him a little more respect from me(die hard drag racer) knowing he at least shoots pool.

A few years ago ( I think Daytona 05), Stewart caused a bit of a stir because he was hanging with Shannon when they say he should have been at the track getting ready for the 500.

Hell, that's what I would have been doing too.
 
Manny Pacquiao is the best celebrity player that I have personally seen.

I heard, from good sources, that he likes to gamble very big, too.
