Rounders 25th Anniversary: Johnny Chan Reflects on Cameo, Meeting Matt Damon & More

Rounders, considered by many to be the best poker movie of all time, is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

The film, which was written by Brian Koppelman and David Levien and released by Miramax, starred Matt Damon and Edward Norton. The former portrayed the main character Mike McDermott, who famously bluffed two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champ Johnny Chan, who had a big cameo in the film.

PokerNews recently spoke with the Poker Hall of Famer to reminisce about his brief Hollywood stint two and a half decades ago.
