* Creator/AlexanderSiddig was hugely into ''VideoGame/UltimaOnline'' during the time ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' was filmed. He arranged a broadband connection to his trailer so he could spend downtime playing it. Siddig has told a story of how his fellow cast members started asking if he was all right and if there was anything they could do to help, much to his confusion. He was playing the game so much that he often appeared tired and showed up for filming late. The others thought this was because he had developed a substance abuse problem!

* Dzhangir Suleymanov, a Russian director who works on the children's series ''Animation/KikoRiki'', is enough of a fan of Indian culture and cinema that an episode of ''[=Kikoriki=]'', "Indian Tea", was made to please him - the episode is a parody of Bollywood cinema and has the Kikoriki dancing to FilmiMusic. An earlier episode, "The Disco Dancer", takes its title from an Indian movie of the same name.

* Derrick J. Wyatt, character designer for ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', and most notably ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', has both a personal blog and a Website/DeviantArt account through which he frequently engages in spirited discussion with his fans. He's particularly crazy about ''Transformers'', with Animated having been an absolute dream job for him; he used it as an opportunity to show off his ridiculous knowledge of things like 20-year-old Japanese-exclusive toy characters and stick them into the backgrounds of episodes.

* Greg Gutfeld and sidekick Bill Schulz on Fox News's quirky, Creator/ConanOBrien-esque libertarian-leaning late night show ''Series/RedEyeWithGregGutfeld'' are both huge geeks and will often pepper the discussions with geeky references that only a true fanboy would make. Also, each night usually features at least one person from pop culture as a member of the rotating panel (and they usually reappear). Put it this way: there's a ''reason'' the show has gained a [[{{CultClassic}} cult following]] (perhaps the ''only'' news program that can claim to have this status) and regularly gets better ratings than certain evening cable programs despite airing at 3 in the morning! Watching the panelists geek out about various references and stories is a huge part of this offbeat show's draw.
