Best Actor That Plays Poker

AMP1520 · Aug 31, 2016

A super random question but I was kinda curious who are the big actors that play poker. I've seen some at the main event but that never means they take it seriously.

Poker actors

I know Ben Affleck won a big tourney a couple of years ago and Meg Tilley is also a pretty good player. He still acts, not sure about Meg>

Mimi Rogers is on the board of the World Poker Tour and she definitely takes it seriously. I agree with bigjay2007 that Meg Tilly is pretty good, I see her often on the Poker Central.

I'm thinking that James Wood is a very good poker player. I've seen him on television several times and I know he's cashed, as well as the actor whose last name is Pollock. He was The Usual Suspects.

From what I've read Toby Maguire is a pretty good cash player albeit a sore loser and a bit of a dick at the table.

Kenzie does a good job at acting like he can play poker.

Gabe Kaplan does good job talking about the table and playing on it.

Bertochi · Sep 4, 2016

I think Gabe Kaplan too

I watched Aaron paul playing it, but he sucked at it, hahahaha, he lost to Cristiano Ronaldo, he sucks too, but it's nice to watch them

Birdman33 · Sep 4, 2016

yes i like Gabe Kaplan also.

Ya Kaplan has been playing all kinds of diff poker games forever so he is actually pretty good, but I think James Woods is probably the best. He used to play quite a bit in the LA card rooms.

I'm still shoving into AA or KK, today was KK's turn in a $1.10 R+A and with about 22 till the money I went from top 10 (around 6th) to out at 57th with AQ for a 103k pot and the chip lead.

loonies were shoving crap and hitting and I was hoping for a loon to call my shove pre.

I need to learn that method acting style that's all the rage, maybe my poker will improve.

Sange famous poker players play big with the big win tournaments,I think they are difficult to find in regular tournaments

Poker Orifice · Oct 18, 2016

Jennifer Tilley. While playing nlhe, seems like she's always got a big pair!

A close 2nd would be Kenzie. She's a very good player from what I hear too.

forgotten about matt damon?

atlantafalcons0 · Oct 18, 2016

Best poker playing actor? Or best actor that plays poker?

Matt damon all poker players are actors

John A · Oct 19, 2016

Affleck and Kaplan probably. I'm actually working with a celebrity actor right now teaching them to play for the new Molly's game movie that is going to begin shooting in a few weeks. I'm going to be playing in a hollywood home game here soon with some of the peeps mentioned in here, so I'll try and report back and let you know how they actually do play.

galojmi · Oct 19, 2016

In India I heard about Herman Baweja and the pretty Shilpa sheety have a site name celebrity poker

smilekg · Oct 20, 2016

I think Matt Damon, he is one of the best actors. But when he plays poker, he cant's act or play at all ))))

Padlington · Oct 20, 2016

saw Daniel Negreanu in a film once may not be the best actor in the world but he can certainly play poker lol
