Celebrity Poker

[Ledererfan]

Celebrities playing poker? I can't understand why Kenny Rogers, James Garner and the like aren't playing. This would be excellent. The Gambler and Bret Maverick heads up!~~!!!

You're kidding, right?

Just in case the poor youngster wasn't kidding...

James Garner originated the role of Maverick on a classic TV show of the 60s...that's why he plays Maverick's dad in the Mel Gibson movie of the same name...

Thanks, Dominic, for straigtening these youngsters out in my absence /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Still think it would be cool, cool, cool

Yeah they should have a episode where all the players at the table has been a poker player in a movie.

[Ledererfan]

well, they wouldn't all have to be, just a couple of well-known movie poker celebs would be nice. Of course a full table would be nice too /images/graemlins/smile.gif

That could be fun.
James Garner
Kenny Rogers
Mel Gibson
Matt Damon
Val Kilmer
... and Erik Seidel (he *was* in Rounders after all) /images/graemlins/smile.gif
Or maybe Kirk Douglas - two Mavericks, two Doc Holidays.

Id like to see a table full of celebs that actually know how to play poker.

James Woods, Ben Affleck, Tobey McQuire, Mimi Rogers, and Gabe Kaplin would be almost as good as some of the WPT final tables.

Now, that would be a celebrity poker showdown worth seeing.

And it's nice that Affleck has found something that he's actually good at.

[Iplaydrunk]

how about the actors from the Sopranos, but make them be 'in character' for the whole show

Throw Ed Norton in there as Worm and this would rock. THey would all have to be in character though. Mavericks antics might have worked against that fat guy, but Doc Holliday would put bullet through his head. "I'm your huckleberry", he would say!. Probably get Worm to clean up his act too.

In the movie, yes. James Garner was the original Maverick.
