I've now played poker with two supporting actors from TV shows at 3-6 limit tables at the Mirage. A few months ago, it was Brad Garrett from "Everybody Loves Raymond." Last night I was sitting next to a guy I'm pretty sure was Powers Boothe, from "Deadwood" and Sin City. I also have heard Jason Alexander plays there sometimes, but I've never seen him. I don't really have a story to tell, I just think Powers Boothe is cool enough that I should post about it. And if it wasn't him I was playing with earlier, well, that guy sure looked a lot like Powers Boothe, which is kind of interesting in its own right, I guess.
In case you actually care: Here is some evidence I found that Powers Boothe might actually play poker, which makes me feel somewhat more confident it was really him. (Search for "poker." It's a bit more than half way down the page.)
Just wondering, did anyone else at the table or walking by seem to notice?
ReplyDeleteI was also wondering... if he was Powers Boothe, did he sound the same as Cy Tolliver?
That would be sweet.
Unfortunately he didn't say anything while I was at the table. He was remarkably quiet, in fact. He might have thought I was kind of annoying because he was sitting between me and Brigid and I was talking to her across him. At that point I hadn't really looked at his face, so I hadn't yet realized who he was.
