Good bless my buddy Joe, but he is not in that league. He is a good amateur player as was Coburn and Jerry Orbach. The best celeb I know playing pool currently has to be Mark Kendall of the band Great White. He is a solid shortstop speed.
That’s got to be the coolest perk a players ever gotten????

In this blog (4 minutes in) is where Joe says he's run a 4 pack in 9 ball (compared to running 10 packs that the pros can do).
If accurate, wouldn't that put Joe up there on the food chain as one of the better "Stars" that play pool?
Really curious about that cause I think a 4 pack runner is strong but maybe I'm just that weak...

Django Reinhardt
http://knkx.org/post/jazz-film-review-django
Gipsy Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) still remains the world’s grandest jazz guitarist. He was nearly killed by a fire set on his camping trailer but was finally rescued and remained in coma for several days. As a result, two fingers of his left hand became permanently paralyzed and he developed marvelously novel techniques to play the guitar that few guitarists have been successful in imitating.
Despite its worldwide reputation, what he thought the most important was to play billiard!
In order to pay homage to this unique artist, Jean Louis Berthet wished to dedicate him this unique pool table.

Django was known to be a great spender of money. No sooner had he earnt his wages, or taken an advance on gigs yet to be played, the money would be gone. Usually to the benefit of a local bookie. Django was a fine billiard player, once again displaying his amazing hand co-ordination. Though he would often give so many points away as a handicap at the start of the game he invariably lost.

Nor, of course, do I. But I think often of Django’s death, at the age of 43, on his way to play billiards in Samois-sur-Seine, where they still hold a guitar festival for him every year. The story is that he collapsed in the street from a brain hemorrhage, and might have survived if he hadn’t insisted on getting up and doggedly heading for the billiards parlor he never reached. I used to bewail his stubbornness, and curse the doctor who took almost a day to arrive from Paris. But I don’t do that anymore, not for a long time. Django was here to play music, and when he was done he went somewhere else – probably to play billiards, or to fish.

Judging by the bridges, it’s hard to not be offended by saying they “play”

I’d say that would be your average 7 speed in my mind. Good player for a busy fella

No I have to sorta agree like obama and his skills and own comments at the game

Sorry to offend. I really only meant it in jest. Don’t take me too seriously, I sure don’t.

Apologies to you
That’s okay. Body language doesn’t translate to forums at all. I appreciate the cool things you’re contributing here. No need to worry.

Amazing stuff. Multi-talented.
You know, he made a film that was one of the most responsible for the creation of Hollywood censors. "The Dentist". He was quite a character.
