i cant believe no one mentioned Tom Cruise - yall are slipping!

Tom couldn't play pool. Wonders of movie making. He also was a terrible driver. Nearly killed himself at Watkins Glen in 1986. He teamed with P L Newman driving for Bob Sharp Racing Nissan.

Dean Martin could play and had a Balabushka cue.

Maybe the best celeb player was Leo Durocher. It is mentioned in almost every bio I have ever read about him. He even competed in profesional tournaments.

From one of his bio's

" Durocher stopped attending school regularly when he was around age twelve and spent a lot of time as a youth hanging out in local pool halls, becoming a consummate pool player and local pool hall hustler."

Does every Filipino play strong or what?
