Sarge Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Not talking about famous shooters per say. I'm wondering if anybody famous in other ways shoots USPSA. Actors, politicians, athletes, etc. Anybody know of any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddrod Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I believe Lou had gone watch some ICORE matches. Do not know if he is shooting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Seems like I heard/saw/read somewhere that Lou Ferigno was a shooter of some sort. I'm guessing grip pressure would not be an issue. As a matter of fact I wonder if he could even hold a gun based on his hand size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Those of us old enough to remember Miami Vice, should recall Jim Zubiana in one episode. (I'm sure I mangled the spelling, and I apologize) From what I recall, Jim was a regular in the Southwest Pistol League, and an actor also. His wife, Linda, was also an actress, and shooter.

warpspeed Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The actor Michael Rooker , IMDB Link, has shot a few matches. IIRC, he is a friend of Taran Butler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I seem to remember reading about Jamison Parker of Simon & Simon firing the ceremonial first-shot at one of the big IPSC matches way back when. He was said to be into guns and shooting more than his co-star, Gerald McRaney (Butch, any memories of that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuke8401 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I seem to remember reading about Jamison Parker of Simon & Simon firing the ceremonial first-shot at one of the big IPSC matches way back when. He was said to be into guns and shooting more than his co-star, Gerald McRaney Jamison Parker was shot by a drunk neighbor and then learned how to shoot. A story featuring him and his wife was on one of the "Defensive" type shows on the outdoor channel. Gerald McRaney hosted several of these shows including that episode. Don't know if either shoots competitively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beltjones Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The actor Michael Rooker , IMDB Link, has shot a few matches. IIRC, he is a friend of Taran Butler. This is the one I thought of. According to facebook it's tough to take a picture of Taran Butler at his range without Michael Rooker appearing somewhere in the background. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Gary Graham (IMDB Profile) was shooting 3-gun and possibly other stuff but I don't know. He was hanging out with Taran at a match a few years ago and I recognized him from his stints on Star Trek and Alien Nation. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
