Title: If Actors Make Good Poker Players....
Post by: divingduck on March 06, 2007, 03:35:41 PM
 You know what I mean ...Ben Affleck , James Woods , Toby McGuire et al....

 Then shouldn't good poker players make good actors? And If so what roles would you cast them in?

 I'm thinking for example.

 Barry Greenstein       Count Dracula
 Phil Helmuth             In a US version of One foot in the Grave
 Bambos Xambos        Mr Tracy in Thunderbirds
 Simon Trumper         The Hood
 Daniel Negraneau      For some reason I see him doing a good Sherrif of Nottingham
 TK                          Moses

ffs.....

Flushy is going skiing, so I asked if he was not a bit "plump" for that. Quick as a flash he replied "that's a bit above the belt"! Not sure what that's gotta do with this thread though. Ignore me, I feel a train story coming on.
