Michael Greco played the character Beppe di Marco for a number of years on "Eastenders", an immensely popular British TV show.

For years I lived in an area just outside of Las Vegas where I had a huge satellite antenna and could pick up "Eastenders" off a Canadian satellite and it was broadcast 6 hours per week, so yes, I was quite a fan.

I've always been amazed at just how many actors and musicians and singers have other talents that are usually related to the entertainment industry.

But many of these people also possess abilities that are far different from their main line of work such as in the fine arts. I guess it's all a matter of having creativity, in one or many forms.

Greco, however, has branched out from acting and into the world of gambling, on a professional level, and he's quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in Poker tournaments.

You never know what talents someone has until he or she tries something.
