Are you talking current times or at any time? It is well Known Jackie Gleason was a very sporty player. Jerry Orbach from Law and Order can make a ball or two also. Paul Newman could play a little bit after making The Hustler. It is also reported that to prepare for The Color Of Money, Tom Cruise took everything out of his apartment except a bed and put a pool table in to get better and after TCOM he could play some too. Out of all of those Jackie Gleason was by far the best. Micheal Jordan is reported to be able to play a little and regularly holds, plays and wins celeb pool tournaments for charity
Best is prolly Joe Rogan... He is prolly an apa SL 7 player, he also has a massive cue collection.
I think Jerry beats Jackie all day. Johnnyt
I seen a documentary on it and that is where I found out Jerry plays and he was on it and I think Jerry said that Jackie played better than him, not totally positive though.
