I doubt he still practices it, but Tom Cruise did a few monthes of kendo or some kenjutsu ryu when getting ready for 'The Last Samurai'. And so did Samuel L. Jackson for the Star Wars movies he was in.

I hardly think that counts, though.

Along those lines Arnold Schwarzenegger (and one of the female so-stars) learned kendo for a few weeks from Miyahara sensei when preparing for Conan the Barbarian. But, as you said, it doesn't really count.
