* VinDiesel, of all people, is ''really'' big into ''DungeonsAndDragons''. He's actually so into {{Tabletop RPG}}s that he's written his own campaign setting, and one of his several tattoos is the name of his player character. He's also quite the avid video gamer and started his own video game production company Tigon Studios, releasing ''[[{{Riddick}} The Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay]],'' a game considered to be much better than the movie it was a prequel to. He's also written the preface to a hardbound collection of D&D artwork (''Thirty Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons'' published by Wizards of the Coasts, current publishers of D&D). He once answered the interview question "[[StarWars Jedi or Sith?]]" with "[[TakeAThirdOption I'd be]] ChaoticNeutral".
** There was a rumor, during the filming of ''[[{{Riddick}} The Chronicles Of Riddick]]'', he kept bugging Dame JudiDench to play D&D with him.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36_-DauQi0s This interview]].
** He's also secretly on ''WorldOfWarcraft'', and ''[=~Baldur's Gate~=] 2'' is his favourite PC RPG.
* On that note, Dame JudiDench, who [=DM=]s D&D campaigns with her grandchildren. And seriously, how awesome would a game session narrated by her be? No ''wonder'' Vin wanted her in on it.
* If there's anyone that could be described as a full-fledged nerd, it's ChristianBale. Hell, he's got everything in him to be a [[TroperDemographics troper]]: he plays games, especially ''SuperMarioBros'', he watches {{Anime}} among all things, even dubbed [[Film/HowlsMovingCastle an Oscar-nominated one at that]]... Oh, and he goes to the Internet (Specifically YouTube among other places) to watch people talk about him. HollywoodNerd at full effect indeed.
** It's both ironic and funny when you think about his role in ''{{Terminator}} Salvation''. Because as we all know, John Connor was quite a geek in his teenage day too (from what we can see in the second film at least).
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6gIc_8pXUI Fighting crime, trying to save the world, here they come just in time]] The PowerpuffGirls!!!....Do you know it?''
* ChristopherLee re-reads ''TheLordOfTheRings'' once a year. There is also a YouTube video where he reveals himself to be a metalhead, and says "Heavy Metal will Never Die." He has worked with the band RhapsodyOfFire. See also PromotedFanboy.
** The first is even more awesome when you consider that he was the only cast member who actually ''met Tolkien in real life''.
*** And the only cast member of TheBBC adaptation of {{Gormenghast}} who'd met Mervyn Peake. He was also a cousin of IanFleming and played Scaramanga in TheManWithTheGoldenGun.
** He's also a fan of PeterSBeagle's ''Literature/TheLastUnicorn''. When he played the voice of King Haggard in the animated movie, he brought a paperback copy of the novel with him to the story meetings, and used a highlighter pen on several passages of dialogue that he felt were mandatory for the storyline.
** And he was one of the people working on an album featuring poems (both read and sung as songs) and songs inspired by short stories of EdgarAllanPoe - he sung the song "Elanore" and read out "The Raven". (sadly the album was only published in Germany)
** He has also displayed a liking of {{Manowar}}. That's right, folks, THE RatedMForManly band. To elaborate, he has narrated 'Battle Hymns MMXI', Manowar's reissued album.
* Robert Downey, Jr. has said himself that he has had {{nerdgasm}}s. One suspects he would have had at least one when he was chosen to play ''Film/IronMan''. (Terrence Howard, who played James Rhodes [[TheOtherDarrin in the first movie only]], was also a big fan of IronMan, and Gwyneth Paltrow simply borrowed some of the comic collection that belongs to her husband, {{Coldplay}} lead singer Chris Martin).

* RosarioDawson is an avid comic book fan, particularly of ''JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac''. In fact, she's the co-creator of a series called ''Occult Crimes Taskforce''. She is also an avid ''Star Trek'' fan who admits to speaking Klingon.
** She also [[ClerksII looks damn hot]] [[{{Meganekko}} in glasses]].
* RobinWilliams, believe it or not. He's [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080120172708/http://movies.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---13446,00.html confessed to an addiction to the internet]], [[http://www.fpsmagazine.com/blog/2005/03/robin-williams-anime-spokesperson.php being an anime fan]], and has even [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz9-rtX0wmE referenced Doctor Who in an interview]]. Really, if you think about it, it's not all that surprising, considering his first television role was [[MorkAndMindy an alien in rainbow suspenders]]. He actually named his child after [[TheLegendOfZelda Princess Zelda]]. ''And'', according to the ''DorkTower'' webcomic arc that provided the page image, he's a ''{{Warhammer}}'' player. He's also an active online gamer. Ever been sniped during a round of ''CallOfDuty''? It might have been him...
** It's even better than that for being an anime fan. In ''OneHourPhoto'', the ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' toy he gives to the little boy is his, and that line about "It being one of the good guys..." was a little stealth joke by him (apparently he must hate Asuka). He also auditioned for the role of Gendo in ''Rebuild''. What could have been....
** It's also been heavily implied that he's a [[SomethingAwful goon]]. At least, he correctly answered the "stairs" question.
*** He's also gone on record saying that if they ever make a LiveActionAdaptation of ''{{Pokemon}}'', he wants to play Professor Oak.
** And he expressed interest in playing TheJoker for both the Burton film AND the Nolan film!
*** And in a recent interview he said he wants to be Riddler and if he can't be Riddler he at least wants to be a random loony in Arkham Asylum. The guy desperately wants to be in a Batman movie in any role possible (don't we all?).
** Williams is also a huge fan of classic cartoons, especially the works of ChuckJones. He wrote a forward to Jones' autobiography, "Chuck Amuck", presented Jones with an honorary Lifetime Achievement Oscar, and hired him to produce some animated footage that was used in the movie ''Film/MrsDoubtfire''.
** Robin and his daughter Zelda recently starred in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bINUfbLV_0M a commercial]] for the 3DS remake of ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]''.
*** Zelda herself is [[http://e3.nintendo.com/videos/#/all/celebvidzelda a fan]] of ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' and ''SuperSmashBros Melee'' and now lurks [[ImageBoards /v/]].
** Robin also stated he plays Battlefield 2 as a sniper, and the 2 stands for "2 in the morning".
* NicolasCage. Sold a truly gigantimous comic book collection during his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley. Named his kid [[{{Superman}} Kal-El]]. Collects geodes. Has a tattoo of ''GhostRider''. Might have played Superman, had ''Superman Lives'' not fallen through. Hell, he takes his screen name from ''[[LukeCageHeroForHire Luke Cage, Power Man]]''! It's a gag very close to the truth in comic-fan circles, that his role as Johnny "Help, my head's on fire!" Blaze was the result of auditioning for ''every comic book movie going'' until they gave him one.
** That last one has a partial aversion, though... he was offered the role of the Green Goblin in SamRaimi's ''Film/{{Spider-Man}}'' movie, but turned it down, probably because he [[NiceGuy doesn't like to play bad guys.]]
** Apparently, playing Dr. Tenma in the recent CGI adaptation of ''AstroBoy'' was something he wanted to do for a very long time.
** According to [[TheSimpsons David]] X. [[{{Futurama}} Cohen]], Cage spends large sums of money collecting trilobites.
* JessicaAlba plays {{MMORPG}}s. She even responded to a random blinking challenge video in some site. Imagine, staring at that beauty for several minutes.
** She's on a website called ''beatmyrecord'', and as of late, nobody has yet to beat her staring challenge of 1 minute 32 seconds.
** The website is ''ibeatyou'' and it's ''her husband'' Cash Warren's website.
* StevenSpielberg is apparently into video games and ''{{Transformers}},'' which he got into playing with his kids. He once famously said, "I will accept video games as a story-telling medium when someone can honestly say, 'I cried at level 17.'" [[hottip:*:[[TearJerker/VideoGames Better start accepting]].]] He currently has a deal with EA to help develop games, one of them ''Boom Blox''.
** Spielberg was one of the creative forces that developed the Gameworks mega-arcade chains.
** The ''MedalOfHonor'' series essentially started when Spielberg decided to try making a video game version of ''SavingPrivateRyan''.
** His favorite two games are {{Myst}}, and ''MonkeyIsland''.
*** On that note, Ron Gilbert (creator of MonkeyIsland) said Mr. Spielberg enjoyed [[http://grumpygamer.com/1629888 visiting Lucas Arts and playing whatever they were cooking up.]]
*** He was also quoted on ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'' as having the best car chase scene in any film, ever.
** He is a HUGE fan of the original ''GhostInTheShell'' manga. He's one of the influencing factors that a live action movie is being made.
** His wife Kate Capshaw said that her first experience with him had him asking if she wanted to play an arcade game he had in his office.
* Jude Law has a tattoo of [[{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]].
* PeterJackson likes video games. He personally selected developer Michel Ancel to develop the ''KingKong'' tie-in game because he was a fan of ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil,'' and because of [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames the inconsistent quality]] of ''LordOfTheRings'' games. He was supposed to do a new ''{{Halo}}'' game with Bungie, but that ended up being cancelled.
** Peter Jackson allegedly got hooked on ''{{Halo 2}}'' online multiplayer during the production of ''King Kong,'' leading to his attempts to adapt or work on a ''Halo'' property.
*** Said project eventually becoming ''{{District 9}}''.
** He also has a friendship with the Perry Twins (the two original sculptors for [[{{Warhammer}} Games Workshop]], and is taking sculpting lessons from them in his spare time.
* In WilliamShatner's ''StarTrek'' documentary ''The Captains'', Christopher Plummer admits to having been a livelong trekkie before he got to play General Chang in ''StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''.
* BenAffleck played ''[=DnD=]'' as a kid with his best friend MattDamon. He's also a major comic book fan, especially of ''{{Daredevil}},'' so much so that he jumped at a chance to play the character in [[Film/{{Daredevil}} the movie adaption]].
** Apparently, Affleck is also a big DukeNukem fan, and there was a rumor at one point he was gonna play him in a movie. A rumor, mind you.
*** Oh, no, [[BlatantLies that's coming out any day now]], [[VaporWare and it's going to be awesome]]!
*** Haha, oh hindsight, you fickle dog you.
** I think it's fair to say that being friends with KevinSmith automatically qualifies you for this page.
* SamuelLJackson, actor, bad motherfucker, and comic book collector. His most prized collection, original copies of the ''LoneWolfAndCub'' manga. Has a framed picture of [[UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] Nick Fury in his living room and actually asked if he could portray him in ''Film/IronMan'' and the upcoming ''Avengers'' movie (which then got extended into a nine-film contract with Marvel). Which makes sense, since Ultimate Nick Fury was based on him in the first place. Word is that he allowed them to base Ultimate Nick Fury on him ''[[MagnificentBastard so that if they put Nick Fury in a movie he'd have an excuse to play him]]''. He also asked to be in the ''StarWars'' prequel trilogy, is a huge anime fan (Voice actor for ''Anime/AfroSamurai''), and may or may not be an excellent chess player. He actually had the initials BMF etched into his light saber. He also plays ''EveOnline'', and was the voice of Tenpenny in ''GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''.
* Actress and model Jaime King told Jimmy Kimmel she loved science fiction. She also displayed greater-than-usual knowledge of ''StarWars,'' and she's married to the director of ''Fanboys''.
** And now that she does the voice of Aurra Sing on ''StarWarsTheCloneWars'', she counts as a [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]].
* RyanReynolds is a pretty big fan of ''{{Deadpool}}'', the character he is now known for playing in ''[[Film/{{X-Men}} X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' (Well, until Wade Wilson is converted into Deadpool, at which point Scott Adkins takes over).
** He'll also be the ''GreenLantern''.
** And similarly to Nick Cage, he got those roles by auditioning for every single comic book character possible until someone finally gave him one.
** And he also was Hannibal King in ''{{Blade}} Trinity''. I think that's a record. He nabbed 4 comic book characters (3 as roles one as wife)
* KeanuReeves likes ''CowboyBebop'', and will be playing Spike Spiegel in the upcoming {{live action adaptation}}. So the enthusiasm is [[AndTheFandomRejoices pleasant]], but as for the [[TaintedByThePreview actual]] [[DullSurprise acting]]...
** [[YourMileageMayVary Take this as you will,]] but Reeves is the single-biggest reason that a ''CowboyBebop'' movie was even greenlit. He's traveled to Japan many times to pitch the concept and eventually it was accepted. So you have Reeves to thank for a movie even being made... but his role as Spike is pretty much set in stone because of this.
** Of course, given how extremely emotional Spike is constantly, this is expected to be a [[SarcasmMode tragedy]].
*** [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] considering some find Spike very subtlety emotional, and Keanu as...well, again [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] on whether he can pull of subtle emotions vs blandness.
* JackBlack is also known to be a big video game fan. One of the reasons that he got involved in ''[=~Brütal Legend~=]'' was that he liked ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}.''
* Neil Blomkamp, director of ''{{District 9}}'', plays video games.
** Correction: [[{{Halo}} He makes video games.]]
* Michele Boyd. Just read [[http://micheleboyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/micheleboydresume.pdf her resume]].
* James Woods is an avid video gamer, as he noted during a press interview for ''KingdomHeartsII''. He attended MIT, although he dropped out shortly before graduation to pursue an acting career. He is also a gadget nut; he appeared on an episode of Conan O'Brien with a digital camera to post pictures on his blog - back in 2001, before every celebrity and their mother had a blog and/or Twitter account.
* [[HighSchoolMusical Zac Efron]] is a ''Manga/DeathNote'' fan according to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGnmqln78C4 this interview]]. And it just so happens that he looks like Light Yagami... He also likes ''DragonballZ'', ''{{Bleach}}'', ''{{Naruto}}'', and he's a video game addict. He likes American ComicBooks as well. He was also rumoured to be put in a Live Action ''FullMetalPanic'' movie, but, as he stated: "Not bloody likely."
** He's also supposed to be a big ''StarWars'' fan and has talked about wanting to be Luke Skywalker. And he got pretty close to that when he did the voice of Anakin Skywalker in Episode III of Star Wars: ((Robot Chicken))
** And on top of 'on top of all this' he recently asked to be shown around the ''Series/StargateUniverse'' set when he was at the studio... then asked to be sent a screening of the first episode, because he loved ''{{Stargate}}''.
* Shane Black, who has [[http://www.deadline.com/2011/01/warner-bros-taps-shane-black-for-japanese-manga-death-note/ been hired]] to direct the US adaptation of ''Manga/DeathNote'', is a big fan of the manga. [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2011-11-02/shane-black-describes-changes-he-opposed-to-warner-death-note So much so, in fact]], that he said '''"NO!"''' to ExecutiveMeddling-induced AdaptationDecay.
* Alfred Molina is a big fan of {{Marvel}} comics. Naturally playing Doc Ock appealed to him.
* The Gyllenhaals ([[MaggieGyllenhaal Maggie]] and Jake), both colossal nerds, and both [[EvenTheGuysWantHim very popular]] [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer with both sexes]].
** There was an interview where Reese Witherspoon mentioned that Jake won over her son, a big ''{{Batman}}'' fan, by giving him toys and such Maggie had gotten from ''TheDarkKnight'' set.
** While filming the ''PrinceOfPersia'' film, Jake played through the game a few times, to get the feel of the Prince's movements, and occasionally asked filmmakers if they could get a specific move in.
* Zach Snyder is a huge comic fan, to the degree that he originally refused to direct the adaptation of ''{{Watchmen}}'' -- because he agreed with the {{fandom}}'s general opinion that the book was inextricably tied to the comic book medium itself, and was thus unfilmable. He only reconsidered when he realized that his refusal just meant that the studio would get somebody else, and that somebody else probably wouldn't share his reverence for the original novel (and would thus be more amenable to ExecutiveMeddling).
* RobertRodriguez was such a huge fan of ''SinCity'' that he shot a scene from ''Booze, Broads, and Bullets'' in his basement, and then showed it to [[FrankMiller Frank goddamn Miller]] as proof that he could make a loyal adaptation of the comics.
** He also started playing video games with his kids in order to make ''SpyKids 3'' more realistic.
** Which is to say nothing of his [[HeterosexualLifePartners Hetero Life Mate]], QuentinTarantino.
* Watch EliRoth in ''any'' [[OneHundredScariestMovieMoments list show]] about horror movies; you can tell he's still ''amazed'' he gets to make horror movies for a living.
** He also attends the Ain't It Cool News annual film festival Butt-Numb-a-Thon (a 24 hour straight showing of classic and new films in Austin, TX) religiously...whether or not he has a film to promote.
* JamesCameron has such a strong desire to make a ''[[{{Gunnm}} Battle Angel Alita]]'' movie, that he already has a fleshed out script and more than 1 year of design work completed. Unfortunately, he's not certain when he'll ever get around to actually making it.
** JamesCameron's answer to question 'Have you seen ''Film/{{Inception}}''?' also counts.
--->"I haven’t. I’ve been traveling. I think this is what happened with people and ''Film/{{Avatar}}.'' I want to see ''Film/{{Inception}}'' the right way. I’m not going to watch it on an airplane. I’m not going to grab it on the run. I want to have that experience."
* Paul Giamatti is an avid collector of comics and rare books, particularly the works of HPLovecraft.
* KristenBell may fall into this trope; she does enjoy Comic Con and other displays of nerdiness.
** She was also very excited to be involved in the ''AssassinsCreed'' series, being a gamer herself.
* Jon Favreau, director of ''IronMan'', has admitted that he derived the film's [[ThrowItIn half-scripted, half-improvised structure]] from his days of running ''DungeonsAndDragons''.
* AliciaWitt has an IQ of ''180'', and apparently auditioned for the part of Mary Jane Watson in ''Film/{{Spider-Man}}''.
** One of her first big screen roles was as Alia Atreides in the David Lynch film adaptation of ''{{Dune}}''. Must've been one hell of a start.
* SteveMartin only agreed to do ''[=~Looney Tunes: Back In Action~=]'' if [[spoiler:a [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]] was one of the aliens chasing Bugs and Daffy during the Area 52 scene. He got it.]]
** Then there's the story of him approaching Olivia Hussey on the set of ''{{Roxanne}}'' and telling her "You were in one of my favorite movies of all time!" "Oh, ''RomeoAndJuliet''?" "No, ''BlackChristmas''! I love it, [[SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes I've seen it 27 times!]]"
* CateBlanchett openly admitted that she took the role of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Galadriel]] mainly because she got to wear pointy ears. She later kept them - and had them bronzed.
* JohnAugust recently started a [[http://johnaugust.com/archives/2010/all-of-the-other-reindeer post on his blog]] by casually mentioning he had just been playing BattleForWesnoth. He went on to say that while reading up on the scenario he had just finished, he found his way to our page for AllOfTheOtherReindeer...and so he titled his post after it. He wrote, "If you haven’t spent an afternoon clicking through TV Tropes, it’s well worth the time suck." So double points (this and TVTropes Trollers) for Mr. August!
* Daniel Craig. Yep, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Craig#Personal_life James friggin' Bond]].
** In the section right above that, the article mentions his love of ''StarTrek''.
* WhoopiGoldberg is an avid sci-fi fan who asked to be cast on ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' in literally whatever part they could think up for her even if she was just in the background doing the cleaning. She also hosted the ''BattlestarGalactica'' finale panel at the UN for the show's fans.
** Can you imagine if she WAS [[UnfortunateImplications in the background cleaning?]]
*** On the other hand, if she was [[AlmightyJanitor in the background cleaning as Guinan...]]
** Though ironically, she became a StarTrek fan after seeing NichelleNichols as Uhura who "''wasn't'' a maid."
*** Not just a fan: NichelleNichols as Uhura was what made her want to be an actress in the first place.
* Kevin Grevioux, best known for playing the lycan Raze in the ''Film/{{Underworld}}'' films, is the one who originally came up with the setting and co-wrote, has a degree in microbiology and was studying for his master's in genetic engineering, writes comic books and founded two comic studios, and still looks and sounds like he could kick your ass.
* KevinSmith often references comic books and ''StarWars'' in his films and mentions various other nerdy interests of his ''Evening With Kevin Smith'' movies.
** He named his daughter [[{{Batman}} Harley]].
*** Not far enough, friend: He named his daughter '''[[{{Batman}} Harley Quinn]].'''
** He founded a charitable organization named The Wayne Foundation, after both [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Wayne Gretzky]], and [[{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne's]] fictional charity.
** Being a friend or close associate may automatically grant OneOfUs status. Seriously, just listen to any random show on the Smodcast Internet Radio network.
* Speaking of ''StarWars'', MarkHamill was ''originally'' ''Tiger Beat'' material. You wouldn't think [[ChekhovsGun one saving throw by Fox Studios to hire an indie film maker]] would make its main star more known for voicing video games. He's also written graphic novels. And of course, it's ''never'' "How was ''Corvette Summer''?" or "I loved you in ''The Big Red One''." It always goes back to that one farm boy. That, or TheJoker.
** A possibly apocryphal story that turned up in Starlog a while back described security briefly losing Mark Hamill at a press junket where they were promoting the first Star Wars film prior to its release. Why? He had heard that one of his favorite writers for ''Cinefantastique'' was a guest and [[{{Fanboy}} rushed down to meet them]].
* WesAnderson has placed ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' on his list of top 5 dvds.
* LeonardoDiCaprio likes ''CodeGeass''.
* DanielRadcliffe can sing [[TomLehrer The Elements]] from memory. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSAaiYKF0cs&feature=player_embedded Behold]].
** Bonus points for making the audience stop clapping ''so he could concentrate''!
** He's also a fan of HunterSThompson.
** He's also an admitted geek for cartoons, including ''SpongebobSquarepants'' and ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''.
* Gabourey Sidibe, star of ''{{Precious}}'', described herself as being a "creepy fangirl" of the original novel and therefore highly interested in getting the film version right. One of the many things that makes her awesome.
* Joan Collins has said she is a big fan of {{Scrabble}}.
* Richard Corliss, longtime film critic for TIME magazine, has been a fan of ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' since its inception, and often wrote about it in his columns.
* GuillermoDelToro is a pacifist - and he thinks ''BioShock'' has one of the most immersive worlds out there. He enjoys ''Left4Dead'' partly because he had an idea very similar to the game, and someone else made. Once, at a book signing, he even defended video games as an art form, and teased a massive game he's working on, called ''Insane'' and having "Lovecraftian" influences. And by "massive", we mean it'll take two or three years to finish; the tentative release date is in ''2013''.
* In a featurette for his episode of StephenKing's ''Nightmares and Dreamscapes'', while talking about his character, William H Macy makes a FiresignTheatre reference (in particular, Nick Danger).
* VicMignogna, probably best known for voicing Edward in ''FullMetalAlchemist'', is a diehard ''StarTrek'' nerd. He conducts panels at conventions in which he challenges the audience to stump him at original series trivia. By his own admission, he used to tape-record the audio of TOS episodes and fall asleep listening to them at night, and got his mother to teach him to sew just so he could make a Trek costume to wear to conventions. He plays racquetball with Michael "Worf" Dorn, and at Genericon 2011, he informed those attending his Trek panel that he went to see the film reboot with Dorn because "what's more awesome than seeing the ''StarTrek'' movie with Worf?"
** He also regards himself as a PromotedFanboy, since he now does conventions with GeorgeTakei and Nichelle Nichols and the other actors he grew up revering, and he has to outwardly be cool and calm when on the inside he's freaking out because ''Sulu knows his name.''
** He's also a ''StarWars'' cosplayer... [[http://www.lightsaberworld.com/public_html/default.html who makes custom lightsabers]].
* There's a picture floating around the internet of someone who looks very much like EllenPage holding a sign up that says "Hi /b/"
* EdgarWright has been quoted as saying on his TV show Spaced, "It's a show by geeks, for geeks." Also, he casually mentions the difference between the Green Goblin and Hobgoblin on the commentary track to ''HotFuzz''.
** And this is before we get to ScottPilgrim.
* Horror producer and director Oren Peli was a video game designer before becoming a director. In fact, his work as a video game designer basically paid for ''ParanormalActivity''.
* MasiOka. He's a fan of manga like ''{{Eyeshield21}}'', ''OnePiece'', and ''{{Pluto}}''. His love of WorldOfWarcraft and other [=MMOs=] inspired him to [[http://www.slashfilm.com/masi-oka-creates-massively-multiplayer-movie-the-defenders/ make a movie about teen gamers]]. He admits playing [[{{Series/Heroes}} Hiro]] is essentially being himself with a thick Japanese accent. Oh, and he does special effects and [=CGI=] work, with IndustrialLightAndMagic no less, on the side.
* JoelSchumacher is a lifelong comic fan, and his [[http://www.batman-on-film.com/opinion_scissorpuppy_forever.html original version]] of ''BatmanForever'' was much more in-line with the tone of the first two films. ExecutiveMeddling lead to what we ultimately got for the third film as well as the fourth.
** So, it was the ''executives'' who turned ''BatmanAndRobin'' into an AdamWest-era throwback?
* TomHanks is a big ''StarTrek'' fan and wanted to play Zephram Cochrane in ''StarTrekFirstContact'' but was already committed to a different film. Furthermore, he's a huge space nerd; RonHoward commented on Hanks' knowledge of the US space program during the making of ''From the Earth to the Moon''.
* Andrew Garfield is a fan of ''{{Spider-Man}}'', at least judging by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_nHhlBFs2k this bit at SDCC]] where he took to the Q&A mic in a fan-made costume, gushing about how excited he was to be at his first Comic-Con and how inspirational Spider-Man was to him growing up. May also count as AscendedFanboy.
* WillSmith is an {{Ultraman}} fan.
* RobertPattinson of ''{{Literature/Twilight}}'' fame is a ''DoctorWho'' fan who once asked Sylvester McCoy for his autograph.
* Freddie Prinze Jr. of ''I Know What You Did Last Summer'' and the television series ''24'' said in a GameTrailers interview about his character in ''MassEffect3'' mentioned that he is a big sci-fi and video game nerd, [[PromotedFanboy being a fan of the first two]] ''MassEffect'' [[PromotedFanboy games]]. Makes sense, considering [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer who he's married to...]]
** He's also a huge pro wrestling fan and appeared at WWE events numerous times before officially being brought in as a writer for the Smackdown brand. He parted ways with the WWE in 2009 but around a year later came back as a producer and director.
* MaxLandis, son of famed director John Landis and scriptwriter for {{Chronicle}}, is at the very least aware of TVTropes, as can be seen by him comment [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=xwtdMzQtG9s&annotation_id=annotation_945638&feature=iv&v=cH2jsabYulI here]].
* MadhuriDixit studied microbiology at Mumbai University before she became famous.
* DanteBasco is currently liveblogging ''{{Homestuck}}''. While he was pretty confused at first, he's clearly come to quite enjoy it. This is even more interesting because one of the characters he's played, Rufio from ''{{Hook}}'', actually has a small role in Homestuck. Especially since that role involves, at one point, Rufio's dead body being kissed by AndrewHussie. (MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.)
----
** There was a rumor, during the filming of ''[[{{Riddick}} The Chronicles Of Riddick]]'', he kept bugging Dame JudiDench to play D&D with him.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36_-DauQi0s This interview]].
** He's also secretly on ''WorldOfWarcraft'', and ''[=~Baldur's Gate~=] 2'' is his favourite PC RPG.
* On that note, Dame JudiDench, who [=DM=]s D&D campaigns with her grandchildren. And seriously, how awesome would a game session narrated by her be? No ''wonder'' Vin wanted her in on it.
* If there's anyone that could be described as a full-fledged nerd, it's ChristianBale. Hell, he's got everything in him to be a [[TroperDemographics troper]]: he plays games, especially ''SuperMarioBros'', he watches {{Anime}} among all things, even dubbed [[Film/HowlsMovingCastle an Oscar-nominated one at that]]... Oh, and he goes to the Internet (Specifically YouTube among other places) to watch people talk about him. HollywoodNerd at full effect indeed.
** It's both ironic and funny when you think about his role in ''{{Terminator}} Salvation''. Because as we all know, John Connor was quite a geek in his teenage day too (from what we can see in the second film at least).
** ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6gIc_8pXUI Fighting crime, trying to save the world, here they come just in time]] The PowerpuffGirls!!!....Do you know it?''
* ChristopherLee re-reads ''TheLordOfTheRings'' once a year. There is also a YouTube video where he reveals himself to be a metalhead, and says "Heavy Metal will Never Die." He has worked with the band RhapsodyOfFire. See also PromotedFanboy.
** The first is even more awesome when you consider that he was the only cast member who actually ''met Tolkien in real life''.
*** And the only cast member of TheBBC adaptation of {{Gormenghast}} who'd met Mervyn Peake. He was also a cousin of IanFleming and played Scaramanga in TheManWithTheGoldenGun.
** He's also a fan of PeterSBeagle's ''Literature/TheLastUnicorn''. When he played the voice of King Haggard in the animated movie, he brought a paperback copy of the novel with him to the story meetings, and used a highlighter pen on several passages of dialogue that he felt were mandatory for the storyline.
** And he was one of the people working on an album featuring poems (both read and sung as songs) and songs inspired by short stories of EdgarAllanPoe - he sung the song "Elanore" and read out "The Raven". (sadly the album was only published in Germany)
** He has also displayed a liking of {{Manowar}}. That's right, folks, THE RatedMForManly band. To elaborate, he has narrated 'Battle Hymns MMXI', Manowar's reissued album.
* Robert Downey, Jr. has said himself that he has had {{nerdgasm}}s. One suspects he would have had at least one when he was chosen to play ''Film/IronMan''. (Terrence Howard, who played James Rhodes [[TheOtherDarrin in the first movie only]], was also a big fan of IronMan, and Gwyneth Paltrow simply borrowed some of the comic collection that belongs to her husband, {{Coldplay}} lead singer Chris Martin).

* RobinWilliams, believe it or not. He's [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080120172708/http://movies.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---13446,00.html confessed to an addiction to the internet]], [[http://www.fpsmagazine.com/blog/2005/03/robin-williams-anime-spokesperson.php being an anime fan]], and has even [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz9-rtX0wmE referenced Doctor Who in an interview]]. Really, if you think about it, it's not all that surprising, considering his first television role was [[MorkAndMindy an alien in rainbow suspenders]]. He actually named his child after [[TheLegendOfZelda Princess Zelda]]. ''And'', according to the ''DorkTower'' webcomic arc that provided the page image, he's a ''{{Warhammer}}'' player. He's also an active online gamer. Ever been sniped during a round of ''CallOfDuty''? It might have been him...
** It's even better than that for being an anime fan. In ''OneHourPhoto'', the ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' toy he gives to the little boy is his, and that line about "It being one of the good guys..." was a little stealth joke by him (apparently he must hate Asuka). He also auditioned for the role of Gendo in ''Rebuild''. What could have been....
** It's also been heavily implied that he's a [[SomethingAwful goon]]. At least, he correctly answered the "stairs" question.
*** He's also gone on record saying that if they ever make a LiveActionAdaptation of ''{{Pokemon}}'', he wants to play Professor Oak.
** And he expressed interest in playing TheJoker for both the Burton film AND the Nolan film!
*** And in a recent interview he said he wants to be Riddler and if he can't be Riddler he at least wants to be a random loony in Arkham Asylum. The guy desperately wants to be in a Batman movie in any role possible (don't we all?).
** Williams is also a huge fan of classic cartoons, especially the works of ChuckJones. He wrote a forward to Jones' autobiography, "Chuck Amuck", presented Jones with an honorary Lifetime Achievement Oscar, and hired him to produce some animated footage that was used in the movie ''Film/MrsDoubtfire''.
** Robin and his daughter Zelda recently starred in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bINUfbLV_0M a commercial]] for the 3DS remake of ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]''.
*** Zelda herself is [[http://e3.nintendo.com/videos/#/all/celebvidzelda a fan]] of ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' and ''SuperSmashBros Melee'' and now lurks [[ImageBoards /v/]].
** Robin also stated he plays Battlefield 2 as a sniper, and the 2 stands for "2 in the morning".
* NicolasCage. Sold a truly gigantimous comic book collection during his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley. Named his kid [[{{Superman}} Kal-El]]. Collects geodes. Has a tattoo of ''GhostRider''. Might have played Superman, had ''Superman Lives'' not fallen through. Hell, he takes his screen name from ''[[LukeCageHeroForHire Luke Cage, Power Man]]''! It's a gag very close to the truth in comic-fan circles, that his role as Johnny "Help, my head's on fire!" Blaze was the result of auditioning for ''every comic book movie going'' until they gave him one.
** That last one has a partial aversion, though... he was offered the role of the Green Goblin in SamRaimi's ''Film/{{Spider-Man}}'' movie, but turned it down, probably because he [[NiceGuy doesn't like to play bad guys.]]
** Apparently, playing Dr. Tenma in the recent CGI adaptation of ''AstroBoy'' was something he wanted to do for a very long time.
** According to [[TheSimpsons David]] X. [[{{Futurama}} Cohen]], Cage spends large sums of money collecting trilobites.
* JessicaAlba plays {{MMORPG}}s. She even responded to a random blinking challenge video in some site. Imagine, staring at that beauty for several minutes.
** She's on a website called ''beatmyrecord'', and as of late, nobody has yet to beat her staring challenge of 1 minute 32 seconds.
** The website is ''ibeatyou'' and it's ''her husband'' Cash Warren's website.
* StevenSpielberg is apparently into video games and ''{{Transformers}},'' which he got into playing with his kids. He once famously said, "I will accept video games as a story-telling medium when someone can honestly say, 'I cried at level 17.'" [[hottip:*:[[TearJerker/VideoGames Better start accepting]].]] He currently has a deal with EA to help develop games, one of them ''Boom Blox''.
** Spielberg was one of the creative forces that developed the Gameworks mega-arcade chains.
** The ''MedalOfHonor'' series essentially started when Spielberg decided to try making a video game version of ''SavingPrivateRyan''.
** His favorite two games are {{Myst}}, and ''MonkeyIsland''.
*** On that note, Ron Gilbert (creator of MonkeyIsland) said Mr. Spielberg enjoyed [[http://grumpygamer.com/1629888 visiting Lucas Arts and playing whatever they were cooking up.]]
*** He was also quoted on ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'' as having the best car chase scene in any film, ever.
** He is a HUGE fan of the original ''GhostInTheShell'' manga. He's one of the influencing factors that a live action movie is being made.
** His wife Kate Capshaw said that her first experience with him had him asking if she wanted to play an arcade game he had in his office.
* Jude Law has a tattoo of [[{{Watchmen}} Rorschach]].
* PeterJackson likes video games. He personally selected developer Michel Ancel to develop the ''KingKong'' tie-in game because he was a fan of ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil,'' and because of [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames the inconsistent quality]] of ''LordOfTheRings'' games. He was supposed to do a new ''{{Halo}}'' game with Bungie, but that ended up being cancelled.
** Peter Jackson allegedly got hooked on ''{{Halo 2}}'' online multiplayer during the production of ''King Kong,'' leading to his attempts to adapt or work on a ''Halo'' property.
*** Said project eventually becoming ''{{District 9}}''.
** He also has a friendship with the Perry Twins (the two original sculptors for [[{{Warhammer}} Games Workshop]], and is taking sculpting lessons from them in his spare time.
* In WilliamShatner's ''StarTrek'' documentary ''The Captains'', Christopher Plummer admits to having been a livelong trekkie before he got to play General Chang in ''StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''.
* BenAffleck played ''[=DnD=]'' as a kid with his best friend MattDamon. He's also a major comic book fan, especially of ''{{Daredevil}},'' so much so that he jumped at a chance to play the character in [[Film/{{Daredevil}} the movie adaption]].
** Apparently, Affleck is also a big DukeNukem fan, and there was a rumor at one point he was gonna play him in a movie. A rumor, mind you.
*** Oh, no, [[BlatantLies that's coming out any day now]], [[VaporWare and it's going to be awesome]]!
*** Haha, oh hindsight, you fickle dog you.
** I think it's fair to say that being friends with KevinSmith automatically qualifies you for this page.
* SamuelLJackson, actor, bad motherfucker, and comic book collector. His most prized collection, original copies of the ''LoneWolfAndCub'' manga. Has a framed picture of [[UltimateMarvel Ultimate]] Nick Fury in his living room and actually asked if he could portray him in ''Film/IronMan'' and the upcoming ''Avengers'' movie (which then got extended into a nine-film contract with Marvel). Which makes sense, since Ultimate Nick Fury was based on him in the first place. Word is that he allowed them to base Ultimate Nick Fury on him ''[[MagnificentBastard so that if they put Nick Fury in a movie he'd have an excuse to play him]]''. He also asked to be in the ''StarWars'' prequel trilogy, is a huge anime fan (Voice actor for ''Anime/AfroSamurai''), and may or may not be an excellent chess player. He actually had the initials BMF etched into his light saber. He also plays ''EveOnline'', and was the voice of Tenpenny in ''GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''.
* Actress and model Jaime King told Jimmy Kimmel she loved science fiction. She also displayed greater-than-usual knowledge of ''StarWars,'' and she's married to the director of ''Fanboys''.
** And now that she does the voice of Aurra Sing on ''StarWarsTheCloneWars'', she counts as a [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]].
* RyanReynolds is a pretty big fan of ''{{Deadpool}}'', the character he is now known for playing in ''[[Film/{{X-Men}} X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' (Well, until Wade Wilson is converted into Deadpool, at which point Scott Adkins takes over).
** He'll also be the ''GreenLantern''.
** And similarly to Nick Cage, he got those roles by auditioning for every single comic book character possible until someone finally gave him one.
** And he also was Hannibal King in ''{{Blade}} Trinity''. I think that's a record. He nabbed 4 comic book characters (3 as roles one as wife)
* KeanuReeves likes ''CowboyBebop'', and will be playing Spike Spiegel in the upcoming {{live action adaptation}}. So the enthusiasm is [[AndTheFandomRejoices pleasant]], but as for the [[TaintedByThePreview actual]] [[DullSurprise acting]]...
** [[YourMileageMayVary Take this as you will,]] but Reeves is the single-biggest reason that a ''CowboyBebop'' movie was even greenlit. He's traveled to Japan many times to pitch the concept and eventually it was accepted. So you have Reeves to thank for a movie even being made... but his role as Spike is pretty much set in stone because of this.
** Of course, given how extremely emotional Spike is constantly, this is expected to be a [[SarcasmMode tragedy]].
*** [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] considering some find Spike very subtlety emotional, and Keanu as...well, again [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] on whether he can pull of subtle emotions vs blandness.
* JackBlack is also known to be a big video game fan. One of the reasons that he got involved in ''[=~Brütal Legend~=]'' was that he liked ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}.''
* Neil Blomkamp, director of ''{{District 9}}'', plays video games.
** Correction: [[{{Halo}} He makes video games.]]
* Michele Boyd. Just read [[http://micheleboyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/micheleboydresume.pdf her resume]].
* James Woods is an avid video gamer, as he noted during a press interview for ''KingdomHeartsII''. He attended MIT, although he dropped out shortly before graduation to pursue an acting career. He is also a gadget nut; he appeared on an episode of Conan O'Brien with a digital camera to post pictures on his blog - back in 2001, before every celebrity and their mother had a blog and/or Twitter account.
* [[HighSchoolMusical Zac Efron]] is a ''Manga/DeathNote'' fan according to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGnmqln78C4 this interview]]. And it just so happens that he looks like Light Yagami... He also likes ''DragonballZ'', ''{{Bleach}}'', ''{{Naruto}}'', and he's a video game addict. He likes American ComicBooks as well. He was also rumoured to be put in a Live Action ''FullMetalPanic'' movie, but, as he stated: "Not bloody likely."
** He's also supposed to be a big ''StarWars'' fan and has talked about wanting to be Luke Skywalker. And he got pretty close to that when he did the voice of Anakin Skywalker in Episode III of Star Wars: ((Robot Chicken))
** And on top of 'on top of all this' he recently asked to be shown around the ''Series/StargateUniverse'' set when he was at the studio... then asked to be sent a screening of the first episode, because he loved ''{{Stargate}}''.
* Shane Black, who has [[http://www.deadline.com/2011/01/warner-bros-taps-shane-black-for-japanese-manga-death-note/ been hired]] to direct the US adaptation of ''Manga/DeathNote'', is a big fan of the manga. [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2011-11-02/shane-black-describes-changes-he-opposed-to-warner-death-note So much so, in fact]], that he said '''"NO!"''' to ExecutiveMeddling-induced AdaptationDecay.
* Alfred Molina is a big fan of {{Marvel}} comics. Naturally playing Doc Ock appealed to him.
* The Gyllenhaals ([[MaggieGyllenhaal Maggie]] and Jake), both colossal nerds, and both [[EvenTheGuysWantHim very popular]] [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer with both sexes]].
** There was an interview where Reese Witherspoon mentioned that Jake won over her son, a big ''{{Batman}}'' fan, by giving him toys and such Maggie had gotten from ''TheDarkKnight'' set.
** While filming the ''PrinceOfPersia'' film, Jake played through the game a few times, to get the feel of the Prince's movements, and occasionally asked filmmakers if they could get a specific move in.
* Zach Snyder is a huge comic fan, to the degree that he originally refused to direct the adaptation of ''{{Watchmen}}'' -- because he agreed with the {{fandom}}'s general opinion that the book was inextricably tied to the comic book medium itself, and was thus unfilmable. He only reconsidered when he realized that his refusal just meant that the studio would get somebody else, and that somebody else probably wouldn't share his reverence for the original novel (and would thus be more amenable to ExecutiveMeddling).
* RobertRodriguez was such a huge fan of ''SinCity'' that he shot a scene from ''Booze, Broads, and Bullets'' in his basement, and then showed it to [[FrankMiller Frank goddamn Miller]] as proof that he could make a loyal adaptation of the comics.
** He also started playing video games with his kids in order to make ''SpyKids 3'' more realistic.
** Which is to say nothing of his [[HeterosexualLifePartners Hetero Life Mate]], QuentinTarantino.
* Watch EliRoth in ''any'' [[OneHundredScariestMovieMoments list show]] about horror movies; you can tell he's still ''amazed'' he gets to make horror movies for a living.
** He also attends the Ain't It Cool News annual film festival Butt-Numb-a-Thon (a 24 hour straight showing of classic and new films in Austin, TX) religiously...whether or not he has a film to promote.
* JamesCameron has such a strong desire to make a ''[[{{Gunnm}} Battle Angel Alita]]'' movie, that he already has a fleshed out script and more than 1 year of design work completed. Unfortunately, he's not certain when he'll ever get around to actually making it.
** JamesCameron's answer to question 'Have you seen ''Film/{{Inception}}''?' also counts.
--->"I haven’t. I’ve been traveling. I think this is what happened with people and ''Film/{{Avatar}}.'' I want to see ''Film/{{Inception}}'' the right way. I’m not going to watch it on an airplane. I’m not going to grab it on the run. I want to have that experience."
* Paul Giamatti is an avid collector of comics and rare books, particularly the works of HPLovecraft.
* KristenBell may fall into this trope; she does enjoy Comic Con and other displays of nerdiness.
** She was also very excited to be involved in the ''AssassinsCreed'' series, being a gamer herself.
* Jon Favreau, director of ''IronMan'', has admitted that he derived the film's [[ThrowItIn half-scripted, half-improvised structure]] from his days of running ''DungeonsAndDragons''.
* AliciaWitt has an IQ of ''180'', and apparently auditioned for the part of Mary Jane Watson in ''Film/{{Spider-Man}}''.
** One of her first big screen roles was as Alia Atreides in the David Lynch film adaptation of ''{{Dune}}''. Must've been one hell of a start.
* SteveMartin only agreed to do ''[=~Looney Tunes: Back In Action~=]'' if [[spoiler:a [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]] was one of the aliens chasing Bugs and Daffy during the Area 52 scene. He got it.]]
** Then there's the story of him approaching Olivia Hussey on the set of ''{{Roxanne}}'' and telling her "You were in one of my favorite movies of all time!" "Oh, ''RomeoAndJuliet''?" "No, ''BlackChristmas''! I love it, [[SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes I've seen it 27 times!]]"
* CateBlanchett openly admitted that she took the role of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Galadriel]] mainly because she got to wear pointy ears. She later kept them - and had them bronzed.
* JohnAugust recently started a [[http://johnaugust.com/archives/2010/all-of-the-other-reindeer post on his blog]] by casually mentioning he had just been playing BattleForWesnoth. He went on to say that while reading up on the scenario he had just finished, he found his way to our page for AllOfTheOtherReindeer...and so he titled his post after it. He wrote, "If you haven’t spent an afternoon clicking through TV Tropes, it’s well worth the time suck." So double points (this and TVTropes Trollers) for Mr. August!
* Daniel Craig. Yep, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Craig#Personal_life James friggin' Bond]].
** In the section right above that, the article mentions his love of ''StarTrek''.
* WhoopiGoldberg is an avid sci-fi fan who asked to be cast on ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' in literally whatever part they could think up for her even if she was just in the background doing the cleaning. She also hosted the ''BattlestarGalactica'' finale panel at the UN for the show's fans.
** Can you imagine if she WAS [[UnfortunateImplications in the background cleaning?]]
*** On the other hand, if she was [[AlmightyJanitor in the background cleaning as Guinan...]]
** Though ironically, she became a StarTrek fan after seeing NichelleNichols as Uhura who "''wasn't'' a maid."
*** Not just a fan: NichelleNichols as Uhura was what made her want to be an actress in the first place.
* Kevin Grevioux, best known for playing the lycan Raze in the ''Film/{{Underworld}}'' films, is the one who originally came up with the setting and co-wrote, has a degree in microbiology and was studying for his master's in genetic engineering, writes comic books and founded two comic studios, and still looks and sounds like he could kick your ass.
* KevinSmith often references comic books and ''StarWars'' in his films and mentions various other nerdy interests of his ''Evening With Kevin Smith'' movies.
** He named his daughter [[{{Batman}} Harley]].
*** Not far enough, friend: He named his daughter '''[[{{Batman}} Harley Quinn]].'''
** He founded a charitable organization named The Wayne Foundation, after both [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Wayne Gretzky]], and [[{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne's]] fictional charity.
** Being a friend or close associate may automatically grant OneOfUs status. Seriously, just listen to any random show on the Smodcast Internet Radio network.
* Speaking of ''StarWars'', MarkHamill was ''originally'' ''Tiger Beat'' material. You wouldn't think [[ChekhovsGun one saving throw by Fox Studios to hire an indie film maker]] would make its main star more known for voicing video games. He's also written graphic novels. And of course, it's ''never'' "How was ''Corvette Summer''?" or "I loved you in ''The Big Red One''." It always goes back to that one farm boy. That, or TheJoker.
** A possibly apocryphal story that turned up in Starlog a while back described security briefly losing Mark Hamill at a press junket where they were promoting the first Star Wars film prior to its release. Why? He had heard that one of his favorite writers for ''Cinefantastique'' was a guest and [[{{Fanboy}} rushed down to meet them]].
* WesAnderson has placed ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' on his list of top 5 dvds.
* LeonardoDiCaprio likes ''CodeGeass''.
* DanielRadcliffe can sing [[TomLehrer The Elements]] from memory. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSAaiYKF0cs&feature=player_embedded Behold]].
** Bonus points for making the audience stop clapping ''so he could concentrate''!
** He's also a fan of HunterSThompson.
** He's also an admitted geek for cartoons, including ''SpongebobSquarepants'' and ''AvatarTheLastAirbender''.
* Gabourey Sidibe, star of ''{{Precious}}'', described herself as being a "creepy fangirl" of the original novel and therefore highly interested in getting the film version right. One of the many things that makes her awesome.
* Joan Collins has said she is a big fan of {{Scrabble}}.
* Richard Corliss, longtime film critic for TIME magazine, has been a fan of ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' since its inception, and often wrote about it in his columns.
* GuillermoDelToro is a pacifist - and he thinks ''BioShock'' has one of the most immersive worlds out there. He enjoys ''Left4Dead'' partly because he had an idea very similar to the game, and someone else made. Once, at a book signing, he even defended video games as an art form, and teased a massive game he's working on, called ''Insane'' and having "Lovecraftian" influences. And by "massive", we mean it'll take two or three years to finish; the tentative release date is in ''2013''.
* In a featurette for his episode of StephenKing's ''Nightmares and Dreamscapes'', while talking about his character, William H Macy makes a FiresignTheatre reference (in particular, Nick Danger).
* VicMignogna, probably best known for voicing Edward in ''FullMetalAlchemist'', is a diehard ''StarTrek'' nerd. He conducts panels at conventions in which he challenges the audience to stump him at original series trivia. By his own admission, he used to tape-record the audio of TOS episodes and fall asleep listening to them at night, and got his mother to teach him to sew just so he could make a Trek costume to wear to conventions. He plays racquetball with Michael "Worf" Dorn, and at Genericon 2011, he informed those attending his Trek panel that he went to see the film reboot with Dorn because "what's more awesome than seeing the ''StarTrek'' movie with Worf?"
** He also regards himself as a PromotedFanboy, since he now does conventions with GeorgeTakei and Nichelle Nichols and the other actors he grew up revering, and he has to outwardly be cool and calm when on the inside he's freaking out because ''Sulu knows his name.''
** He's also a ''StarWars'' cosplayer... [[http://www.lightsaberworld.com/public_html/default.html who makes custom lightsabers]].
* There's a picture floating around the internet of someone who looks very much like EllenPage holding a sign up that says "Hi /b/"
* EdgarWright has been quoted as saying on his TV show Spaced, "It's a show by geeks, for geeks." Also, he casually mentions the difference between the Green Goblin and Hobgoblin on the commentary track to ''HotFuzz''.
** And this is before we get to ScottPilgrim.
* Horror producer and director Oren Peli was a video game designer before becoming a director. In fact, his work as a video game designer basically paid for ''ParanormalActivity''.
* MasiOka. He's a fan of manga like ''{{Eyeshield21}}'', ''OnePiece'', and ''{{Pluto}}''. His love of WorldOfWarcraft and other [=MMOs=] inspired him to [[http://www.slashfilm.com/masi-oka-creates-massively-multiplayer-movie-the-defenders/ make a movie about teen gamers]]. He admits playing [[{{Series/Heroes}} Hiro]] is essentially being himself with a thick Japanese accent. Oh, and he does special effects and [=CGI=] work, with IndustrialLightAndMagic no less, on the side.
* JoelSchumacher is a lifelong comic fan, and his [[http://www.batman-on-film.com/opinion_scissorpuppy_forever.html original version]] of ''BatmanForever'' was much more in-line with the tone of the first two films. ExecutiveMeddling lead to what we ultimately got for the third film as well as the fourth.
** So, it was the ''executives'' who turned ''BatmanAndRobin'' into an AdamWest-era throwback?
* TomHanks is a big ''StarTrek'' fan and wanted to play Zephram Cochrane in ''StarTrekFirstContact'' but was already committed to a different film. Furthermore, he's a huge space nerd; RonHoward commented on Hanks' knowledge of the US space program during the making of ''From the Earth to the Moon''.
* Andrew Garfield is a fan of ''{{Spider-Man}}'', at least judging by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_nHhlBFs2k this bit at SDCC]] where he took to the Q&A mic in a fan-made costume, gushing about how excited he was to be at his first Comic-Con and how inspirational Spider-Man was to him growing up. May also count as AscendedFanboy.
* WillSmith is an {{Ultraman}} fan.
* RobertPattinson of ''{{Literature/Twilight}}'' fame is a ''DoctorWho'' fan who once asked Sylvester McCoy for his autograph.
* Freddie Prinze Jr. of ''I Know What You Did Last Summer'' and the television series ''24'' said in a GameTrailers interview about his character in ''MassEffect3'' mentioned that he is a big sci-fi and video game nerd, [[PromotedFanboy being a fan of the first two]] ''MassEffect'' [[PromotedFanboy games]]. Makes sense, considering [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer who he's married to...]]
** He's also a huge pro wrestling fan and appeared at WWE events numerous times before officially being brought in as a writer for the Smackdown brand. He parted ways with the WWE in 2009 but around a year later came back as a producer and director.
* MaxLandis, son of famed director John Landis and scriptwriter for {{Chronicle}}, is at the very least aware of TVTropes, as can be seen by him comment [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=xwtdMzQtG9s&annotation_id=annotation_945638&feature=iv&v=cH2jsabYulI here]].
* MadhuriDixit studied microbiology at Mumbai University before she became famous.
* DanteBasco is currently liveblogging ''{{Homestuck}}''. While he was pretty confused at first, he's clearly come to quite enjoy it. This is even more interesting because one of the characters he's played, Rufio from ''{{Hook}}'', actually has a small role in Homestuck. Especially since that role involves, at one point, Rufio's dead body being kissed by AndrewHussie. (MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.)
