Question

Who did the shooting for the movie the hustler 1 and the color of money?

Answer 1

In the hustler Gleason did his own shooting and Willie Mosconi , who also had a small part in the movie, did some shooting for Paul newman. Mike Sigel taught Tom Cruise to play pool for his part in The Color of Money. I remember Sigel saying that Cruise was a good student and could even give him a run for his money by the time filming was over. Sigel also did some shooting in the movie. Mosconi and Sigel were considered technical directors for the movies.

Answer 2

In the Hustler.....Both Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason played all their own shots, except for one masse shot which was performed by Willie Mosconi. Gleason was an excellent pool player in his day, and was coached by Mosconi.  

A number of his movies often included playing pool.

As for The Color of Money....Tom Cruise did all his own shots except for one...the one where he had to jump two balls to sink another. That shot was performed by professional Pool player Michael Sigel
