Default Biggest celebrity in your ring game?

Who's the biggest celebrity to play in your ring game?

Last Saturday in Milwaukee at the 20/40 game, I got to play against Jerome James, the backup center for the Seattle Supersonics. Not that I knew who he was, but I looked him up afterwords and found out that he signed a 3-year deal for $4.5 million/year and ESPN considered him one of the most overpriced players in the NBA. I'm proud to say that I helped to make him slightly less overpaid. In addition, he had an awful game the next afternoon, so we didn't do much for his confidence level either.

I once played with a backup goalie for the Avalanche at a casino in Blackhawk, CO. We both got carded every time a new dealer came (they must've just got busted or something, because I've never been carded so many times in my life) and only one dealer had any idea who he was.

yeah this has happened recently - late last year i think it was someone got fired again for not carding so they tend to over compensate by each dealer carding but hey if my job was on teh line I would do the same thing - the was at the lodge anyway

Sadly, I didn't get to play with him (he had a "reserved" seat at our table, but wound up going to another one)...Emmanuel Lewis.

$1-5 stud at Harrah's in East Chicago.

Lol,

one time while at a nyc club, i played with a guy who looked EXACTLY like matthew broderick from ferris buehler. he was the exact height and sounded the same as well. i didnt ask if it was him as well because i hate annoying people like that. i guess i will never know the truth.

Todd Bridges($1-2HE at Hollywood Park)
Corey Feldman($1-2 stud at Commerce)

Both of those were several years ago.

My friend played with Lou Diamond Phillips in the $600 buy in NL game at Commerce a few months ago.
