i consider any celebrity that primarily earns his income from poker as a pro.

that includes none of the celebrities listed thus far.

None of the actors. Because . . . they're actors, not poker pros.

The answer to the question is how you define the word "pro"

I was going by this one, which I believe is generally accepted:
"Engaging in a given activity as a source of livelihood or as a career"

I suppose it is possible, and perhaps more interesting, to discuss this one:
"Having or showing great skill; expert"
