Pro players in the movies?

Question

Of all the current professional players, both men and women, which ones do you think would have the best screen presence and appeal in a pool-themed movie? They could either be playing themselves as a cameo or a completely different character like Antonio Tarver did in "Rocky Balboa". M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Answer 1

Maybe Earl as a raving lunatic. Nah, too predictable.

How about Ralf Souquet as himself, and call the movie "Slow Play". Johnny Archer as the janitor,picking lint off the tables. A cameo by Jasmine Oushan might help sell a few tickets.

All joking aside, I think there are plenty of 'characters' in the world of pool. I would love to see another good pool movie, but I don't know if there are any pool players that could act very well. I know Max Eberle has done some acting, though I havent seen any of it.

Perhaps a joker like Pagulayan might make it work. Its hard to say, but I'd love to see something sweep the world like COM did.

Answer 2

As far as the ladies go I'd have to think Jeanette Lee and Vivian Villareal would be great. Both very pretty and great outgoing personalities. They could get into some kinda trouble with the Villan , Thats gotta be Earl . Then they could be rescued by our hero , The scorpion himself , Johnny Archer. We could throw in some real characters like Massey and McCready for some color. I think we have a pool , action , thriller , comedy on our hands. Shooter you write the script , Johnny take care of the publicity , and me , Well , I'll handle the money , the profits I mean. lol

Answer 3

McCreedy in the C.O.M. And Mike Massey in junkies

Oops sorry bout that  i misread again.

How about the top 5 as a group of road players  on tour .Running into other known players around the country in their  ( Home Rooms ) Good promo at the same time .But with a plot at the same time

and lots of real pool shots
