I'm not talking someone who is famous for playing the ukulele like Jake, but someone who is just famous who happens to play the ukulele?

I know Warren Buffett is a very avid ukulele player, but is he famous or just rich?

We helped Victor Kim from Quest Crew get a uke, but I doubt anyone over the age of 35 knows who that is and he's kind of niche famous.

Maybe not the most famous, but Steve Martin and Andy Griffin come to mind. And no I am not as old as they are.
 
Is Bill Cosby still alive?...If not i'll go with Steve Martin.
 
My votes would be Warren Buffet, William H. Macy and Sir Paul McCartney.

Over 35? Check. Never heard of Victor Kim? Check. :)

Maybe Zooey Deschanel, if we're talking fame due to something other than being rich? I'm also trying to think of people who are known as something other than being musicians first.
 
Eddie Vedder from pearl jam is pretty big in my book...Well not as big as Paul McCartney of course.
 
I think most people over 35 don't watch MTV....I could be wrong though.
 
i'm told warren buffet turned bill gates onto playing.
jack johnson is pretty famous as well
 
I'd go with Sir Paul, as well...
 
William H Macy, Bette Midler.
