Ed Tonai
Ed Tonai hasn't been on international TV since appearing in the original cast of the internationally syndicated, Emmy award-winning television series, The Baseball Bunch (1981), but you can watch him THIS SEASON on the internationally syndicated television series Ultimate Poker Challenge, where he played with and out-survived notable players Men "The Master" Nguyen, John Phan, and a bunch of less important non-Asian poker professionals to make two final tables and win a "coveted" UPC bracelet for taking first place in a tournament.  He wants you to know that he likes to sing (karaoke, shower, poker tables), has performed at Bumbershoot, and works in building 50 of a Redmond-based software behemoth.  And he's a better poker player than you.
