Names! Names! Names! in Shin Buddhism?

This seems like a rather frivolous question to ask, but, does anyone know if there are any US celebrities who practice Jodo Shinshu (aka "Shin") Buddhism?

I am aware that there are many celebrities who practice Nichiren Buddhism (Tina Turner, Herbie Hancock, Orlando Bloom, etc...) and Tibetan Buddhism (Richard Gere, Keanu Reeves, Steven Sagall, etc...) but I was curious as to whether there are any US celebrities who practice Jodo Shinshu?

The only celebrity that I am aware of is Star Trek's "Mr. Sulu" George Takei. Searching the internet has yielded nothing. Does anyone know of anyone else? Thank you!

Best answer: JOSEPH JARMAN: I left the Art Ensemble because I became a Shinshu Buddhist priest and I was already operating an Aikido dojo in Brooklyn.
