Most movie pool playing scenes are a joke...easy to tell when it's an actor pretending to be skilled at the game.
There are exceptions. Jackie Gleason, Tom Cruise, and Paul Newman all had good strokes. Gleason because he was a player. Newman and Cruise because they were trained by the best players of the time. Actually, because of this training, both became pretty good players. Other actors and comedians have a like of the game.
