It was in the late 90s I was in Vegas with a friend and stayed at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. One night I was playing roulette and my buddy who was standing behind me mention to me that guy alongside you on end of table is an actor. I noticed too but just didn’t click with a name yet. Well I went through my bunch of chips like that and quickly put in for more with the dealer. The guy joked with me that maybe I’ll have better luck with different color chips.
Here it was John Spencer from show West Wing. Played security advisor under Martin Sheen on the show. He was in bunch of movies. The Rock, Presumed Innocent with Harrison Ford, and Copland with Sly Stallone were a few. Nice guy. Sadly he passed in early 2000s.
