History OneOfUs / TVDweebs

* In his nightly news program, [[CountdownWithKeithOlbermann Keith Olbermann]] frequently quotes or alludes to ''MontyPython'' (and has had Creator/JohnCleese as a guest more than once), and criticized dire right-wing projections concerning President Obama's budget as requiring truly staggering precognition: to wit, the projections extend through 2080, "seventeen years after we first make contact with the planet Vulcan" (according to ''Star Trek: First Contact''). He also loves [[GameOfNerds baseball]] and has one of the largest baseball card collections in the country. He also runs [[http://keitholbermann.mlblogs.com/ a blog for Major League Baseball]]

* Colin Morgan of ''Series/{{Merlin}}'' is a fan of ''{{Discworld}}'' and has mentioned in an interview that he'd love to play Mort if they ever adapted it.

** One can also tell by ''RobotChicken'' that he certainly has quite the nerdly knowledge of video games to make jokes that gamers would get the most and if his newest project ''TitanMaximum'' is to go by, he's also a fan of HumongousMecha series.

w* ConanOBrien is a professional nerd and has been filmed engaging in geek-out sessions with Stephen Colbert.

** He also voices Arcade Gannon in FalloutNewVegas

* Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing on ''Series/{{Friends}}'', has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAbRzjRRLds famously stated]] that he "[plays] the ''{{Fallout 3}}''" to the point that his hands started cramping for playing so much. He later on voiced [[ArchNemesis Benny]] in ''FalloutNewVegas''.

*** Chuck did a ShoutOut to Mass Effect, by having Yvonne wearing a black catsuit & Talking about suicide missions.

* ConanOBrien is a professional nerd and has been filmed engaging in geek-out sessions with Stephen Colbert.

* And then of course, there's WilWheaton, who doesn't just ''play'' [[CreatorsPet geeky characters]]... Apparently, he ignored the Wesley-hating by painting his ''{{Warhammer}}'' figures. And he [[TheScrappy despises]] [[CreatorsPet Wesley Crusher]] [[UpToEleven even more than any of us!]] And he had a significant role in two seasons of TheGuild!

** She also follows GeorgeNewburn on Twitter. He's known for voicing [[JusticeLeague Superman]] and [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]]. Since her [[HaleyJoelOsment brother]] was in KingdomHearts, it's most likely the latter she could be a fan of.

* Enver Gjokaj, EnsembleDarkhorse of ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'', is a MASSIVE BSG fan. Also, considering that he got his BA in English, you ''know'' the man read him up some fantasy in high school.

** ''[[HeyItsThatGuy Amy]]'' is your [[{{Series/Blossom}} Mayim Bialik]] reference point?

* Unsure if it's only the product of the commercial he stars in, but MrT, MemeticBadass extraordinaire, has appeared in a pair of ''WorldOfWarcraft'' ads, extolling the virtues of his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqJE5TH5jhc&feature=video_response Night-Elf Mohawk]], and displaying the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98uDkyzVvSc Mohawk Grenades]], the fruits of his skills as a "computer hacka'!"

** Although he was never a ''Series/DoctorWho'' fanboy, ChristopherEccleston admitted in an interview before Series 1 aired that he'd been talking to fans and understood their obsessiveness because he gets that way about certain types of music, including blues and reggae. He's also a huge fan of the [[OopNorth Manchester-based]] band I Am Kloot, and he has managed to appear in two of their [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf0e0f_XodE&feature=relmfu music videos]], including [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oqB3d6Pklw "Proof,"]] where it's [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome just him staring at the camera]].

* Both halves of ''{{That Mitchell and Webb Look}}'', as evidenced by their AffectionateParody of ''Franchise/StarTrek''. David Mitchell has admitted that as a child he would watch The Original Series with a pocket calculator that he would pretend was a communicator, and talk to the crew.

** StevenMoffat [[http://www.develop-online.net/features/845/Who-TV-bosses-talk-games mentions]] that he played ''TombRaider'' and ''{{Halo}}'' (though the latter more for the lore and SceneryPorn than the shooting), among others, and once had a ''Series/DoctorWho'' [[GameMod WAD]] for ''{{Doom}}''. It should also be telling that his era on the show also marks the first serious attempt at a ''Who'' LicensedGame (''The Adventure Games''), under the supervision of himself and Charles Cecil of ''BrokenSword'' fame...

* [[TheSoup Joel Mchale]] has shown on more than a few occasions his love for BattlestarGalactica. He is also a gamer, although he says his work leaves him with little time to play. In an interview with Playstation: The Offical Magazine, he mentions playing ''VideoGame/{{inFamous}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'', ''BrothersInArms'', ''CallOfDuty'', and ''GhostRecon''.

** Jon's also a gamer, and has talked about being a Mac user and playing ''{{Doom}}'' with one hand (so the other one can man a bong) in his standup. (See also the Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson entry below.)

* LaurenFaust, wife of CraigMcCracken and developer of {{WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic}}, has shown appreciation for her fans on [[http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/ her DeviantArt account]], favorites some fanart, and occasionally lurks 4Chan's /co/ board, as well as other Pony-related sites.

* ''Series/{{iCarly}}'''s Nathan Kress apparently is also a tech nut (though not as much as his character) according to this [[http://www.portraitmagazine.net/interviews/nathankress.html interview]] from 2008.

* Colin Morgan of ''{{Series/Merlin}}'' is a fan of ''{{Discworld}}'' and has mentioned in an interview that he'd love to play Mort if they ever adapted it.

* Matthew Grey Gubler from ''Series/{{Criminal Minds}}'' actually does the magic tricks his character (Spencer Reid) does.

* [[KatieMcGrath Katie [=McGrath=]]] is a huge fantasy and sci-buff and gushed over the fact that her [[{{Series/Merlin}} Morgana]] action figure is exactly the right size to fit inside her model ''[[StarWars Millenium Falcon]]''.

* Masi Oka: The number of video game references stuffed into ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' and the associated "alternate reality" portion of it might possibly have given this away. One gets the feeling Masi Oka would have specifically '''requested''' a time-traveling character, due to his love of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' -- or, possibly, as another reference to ''JojosBizarreAdventure'', which ''Heroes'' has quite a few of. At least some of that must be due to having Jeph Loeb (a well known comic book writer) as a co-writer for the show.

* Both halves of ''{{That Mitchell and Webb Look}}'', as evidenced by their AffectionateParody of ''StarTrek''. David Mitchell has admitted that as a child he would watch The Original Series with a pocket calculator that he would pretend was a communicator, and talk to the crew.
* As far as ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''[[RunningTheAsylum many]]'' of the cast and crew count as {{Promoted Fanboy}}s. FreemaAgyeman has said that growing up her house was a "''StarTrek'' household". Before joining the cast of ''Doctor Who'', she apparently attended Trek conventions. [[FetishFuel In TNG StarFleet uniform...]] Earlier, Sophie Aldred (who had played Ace) had, before joining the cast, joined a fan club for Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's puppet productions like ''{{Thunderbirds}}''.

** When he first saw ''Series/RedDwarf'' on TV he thought it was plagiarising [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration his show]] and whilst he was calling up his lawyer he started laughing; something ''The Next Generation'' would hardly make him do. Been a fan ever since.

* SummerGlau is said to like science fiction movies, and judging from the TV shows and films she's been in, one starts to suspect this is true. Apparently she was a big [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]] fan and at a StarTrek convention she [[{{Fangirl}} almost cried]] when she met Marina Sirtis. She's also apparently a DC comics fan (even showing up to conventions wearing comic shirts) and jumped at the chance to voice {{Supergirl}} in ''SupermanBatmanApocalypse''.

** How about the way he always refers to the Kardashians as the [[StarTrek "Cardassians?"]]

* JamesMarsters, or [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Spike]], has been quoted as attending ''StarTrek'' conventions regularly when younger.

* Candice Accola and Michael Trevino of ''TheVampireDiaries'' have their own adorkable ''StarTrek'' in-joke together on-set, as seen [[http://devotedtovampirediaries.com/?p=7450 here.]]

-->'''Candice Accola:''' [laughs] We energize. We got it from the ''StarTrek'' remake. Whenever they’re getting ready to disintegrate [or teleport] they say ‘Energize!’ Whenever we’re in the mood to get a laugh or something we’ll both just give each other a little nod and go ‘Energize!’

* Mayim Bialik, who plays Amy on TheBigBangTheory, has a Ph.D in neuroscience from UCLA.

* Also, Nazanin Boniadi (HowIMetYourMother): She has an Honors degree from UCI in Biological sciences; she also won the Chang Pin-Chun Undergraduate Research Award for molecular research involving cancer treatment and heart transplant rejection and was assistant editor-in-chief of UCI's medical newspaper.

** He's been known to quote ThePrincessBride on Twitter, and is a big fan of Ian Fleming's JamesBond novels.

* [[KurtwoodSmith Kurtwood]] "[[That70sShow Red Foreman]]" [[KurtwoodSmith Smith]] is a huge video game fan. Especially amazing when you consider he was in his forties when the NES came out.
* Lisa Foiles, of the newer seasons of ''AllThat'' and also notable as the female version of Malcolm during an episode of ''MalcolmInTheMiddle'', is a ''huge'' video game nerd. She runs [[http://www.loadsavepoint.com/ her own gaming website]] and also [[http://kotaku.com/#!5394818/harley-quinn-hearts-kotaku cosplayed as Harley Quinn]].

* Richard Dean Anderson is a huge fan of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and sprinkled references to the show throughout the majority of his run on ''{{Stargate SG-1}}''. This culminated in a tit-for-tat guest star spot where DanCastellaneta (Homer's voice actor) appeared on ''[=SG-1=]'', and Anderson appeared on ''The Simpsons''.

* [[{{Seinfeld}} Jerry Seinfeld]] has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things {{Superman}}.

* JamesMarsters, or [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Spike]], has been quoted as attending ''StarTrek'' conventions regularly when younger.

* DanHarmon, creator of {{NBC}}'s ''{{Community}}'', has recently posted several Tweets on his Twitter account revealing an in depth knowledge of ''DragonAge: Origins''.
* ''{{iCarly}}'''s Nathan Kress apparently is also a tech nut (though not as much as his character) according to this [[http://www.portraitmagazine.net/interviews/nathankress.html interview]] from 2008.

* Craig Ferguson, of ''TheLateLateShow'', is a self-proclaimed ''Series/DoctorWho'' nut. He recently spent quite a bit of time nerding out about it with Chris Hardwick on the Nerdist podcast, including having an argument over Old School Daleks, and who is better, MattSmith or DavidTennant. (Ferguson prefers Smith.)
** Recently, one of his guests was a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfCaxb2yB60 Dalek]]. A friggin' '''DALEK.''' Awesome.
* One of the writing staff of ''{{NCIS}}'' is most likely a ''Series/DoctorWho'' nerd, as one episode has a member of the team comparing the inside of a trailer to the TARDIS.

** The guy also covers Disney songs on his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DZVOR4K93khttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DZVOR4K93k guitar]], waxes poetic about ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and stars in and (co-wrote) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmwM_AKeMCk A Very Potter Musical]] -- it's amazing that anyone could be unaware of his utterly fabulous nerdiness.
* Adelaide Kane of HomeAndAway and PowerRangersRPM fame is an anime and manga fan and has [[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4669273&id=66429284752 cosplayed as]] [[Series/WonderWoman Wonder Girl]] at the 2010 San Diego Comic-con.

* Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing on ''{{Friends}}'', has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAbRzjRRLds famously stated]] that he "[plays] the ''{{Fallout 3}}''" to the point that his hands started cramping for playing so much. He later on voiced [[ArchNemesis Benny]] in ''FalloutNewVegas''.

** MarkGatiss in particular has presented a BBC4 documentary on the history of horror films (each episode of which was followed by his favourite films from that particular era) ''and'' has written for and acted in numerous episodes of the new Doctor Who ''and'' co-wrote {{Sherlock}} which, despite being set in the modern day, is actually one of the most faithful adaptations of the original books.
* John Rogers, creator of ''{{Leverage}}'', is a huge nerd, as are various members of his writing staff. Just look at the aliases Hardison thinks up.

* [[MythBusters Adam Savage]] is a geek to rival all geeks. When he's booked at a convention, he sews his own costumes and spends the time he's not doing panels wandering around.

* [[HowIMetYourMother Cobie Smulders]] is a huge comic book fan, even having a fan question drawn into a issue of ''{{Fables}}.''
** And now she's played [[Film/TheAvengers Maria Hill]].

* [[MythBusters Grant Imahara.]] He once went to a convention dressed as [[Series/DoctorWho the Tenth Doctor]].

* [[{{MASH}} Loretta Swit]] loves [[PacMan Ms. Pac-Man]] and even owns a arcade machine of the game.

* Meet JimBeaver, of Supernatural. Better known as Bobby Singer. He has reviewed over 1,460 movies on IMDB[[http://www.imdb.com/search/title?plot_author=Jim%20Beaver%20%3Cjumblejim@prodigy.net%3E&view=simple&sort=alpha]], wrote a Biography on GeorgeReeves investigating his death, and is present in his forum topics in IMDB. (his name is Jimb-4.)

* Creator/AndreaLibman enjoys ''GameOfThrones''.

* JossWhedon has openly and repeatedly professed his love for the 2000s ''BattlestarGalactica'', eventually hiring [[TahmohPenikett Helo]] as the lead in [[{{Dollhouse}} his next show]], with [[JamieBamber Apollo]] and [[MichaelHogan Colonel Tigh]] as guest stars in later episodes. To top it off onscreen, he has Topher talking about Cylons and asking someone if she's [[UnusualEuphemism "out of her frakkin' mind]]".
** He is also a huge fan of Claremont-era ''Comicbook/XMen'', and has stated in some interviews that he based the character of [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summers]] at least in part on Kitty Pryde. Word is that when Joe Quesada asked him to write "Astonishing X-Men", Whedon's main demand was that he wanted to write Kitty as a main team member.

** And just to underline the overall point, he listens to NeutralMilkHotel. Huzzah!
*** And TheDecemberists!

*** Not to mention the fact that DavidTennant started acting [[PromotedFanboy just so he could play the Doctor some day]]! David Tennant has been asked for obscure information on Doctor Who several times and always comes up with the goods, once on a TV chat show to find the audience member worthy of asking him a question (the host's idea). Also, in his Diary footage on the [=DVDs=] you can see him with action figures from ''StarWars'' in the background and a shelf full of ''TheWestWing''. Actually, just listen to his interviews, he is probably the eptimome of OneOfUs.

* And then of course, there's WilWheaton, who doesn't just ''play'' [[CreatorsPet geeky characters]]...
** Apparently, he ignored the Wesley-hating by painting his ''{{Warhammer}}'' figures.
** And he [[TheScrappy despises]] [[CreatorsPet Wesley Crusher]] [[UpToEleven even more than any of us!]]
*** And he had a significant role in two seasons of TheGuild!
* Ronald D. Moore (best known for his reboot of ''BattlestarGalactica'') was a PromotedFanboy initially before he became a speculative fiction giant in his own right. Initially he got a writing gig on ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' solely because he happened to be lucky enough to have a girlfriend who worked on the sets and who passed his fan script over to one of the actual writers. The rest, as they say, is history. He also has said in an interview that he was looking forward to ''Film/StarTrek'' (2009), since it would be the first time in a long while that he's watching it as a fan and not a writer.

* Mike Myers based his ''SaturdayNightLive'' "Lothar of the Hill People" sketches on his favorite ''[[DungeonsAndDragons D&D]]'' character.

* PatrickStewart, [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration Captain Picard]], [[Film/{{X-Men}} Professor X]], and a classically-trained Shakespearean Actor, is a huge fan of the comic series ''{{Transmetropolitan}}''. He wrote the introduction to one of the collections, and his production company offered to option the rights. He almost voiced Spider in an animated series, and then there's this:

* [[SouthPark Trey Parker]] is an admitted Japanophile.
* MilaKunis is a fan of ''StarTrek'', ''WorldOfWarcraft'', and ''{{Farmville}}''.
* Eric Kripke, creator of ''{{Supernatural}}'', is a huge fan of the ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' comics, and he actually tried to get the character of John Constantine onto the show for an episode or two. That seems to have fallen through, so he created [[{{Expy}} Castiel]] the BadAss [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angel]].

** JensenAckles and Jared Padalecki, the stars of ''{{Supernatural}}'', are the goofiest pranksters this side of [[TheSimpsons Bart Simpson]], and Jensen has admitted to looking at ''{{Supernatural}}'' FanFic. Okay, considering the amount of Wincest fic out there, that explains the completely squicked-out look Jensen had on his face when Jared was describing the {{slashfic}} about them in the fandom-recursive Season 4 episode "The Monster at the End of this Book".
* SummerGlau is said to like science fiction movies, and judging from the TV shows and films she's been in, one starts to suspect this is true. Apparently she was a big [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]] fan and at a StarTrek convention she [[{{Fangirl}} almost cried]] when she met Marina Sirtis. She's also apparently a DC comics fan (even showing up to conventions wearing comic shirts) and jumped at the chance to voice {{Supergirl}} in ''SupermanBatmanApocalypse''.

* NathanFillion, star of ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' and ''{{Castle}}'' is an avid ''{{Halo}}'' fan. He regularly plays ''{{Halo 3}}'' on Xbox LIVE and chats with fans during games.

* Enver Gjokaj, EnsembleDarkhorse of ''{{Dollhouse}}'', is a MASSIVE BSG fan. Also, considering that he got his BA in English, you ''know'' the man read him up some fantasy in high school.

* TinaFey is also an admitted fan of ''StarWars''. She and the other writers of ''[=~30 Rock~=]'' manage to work a reference into just about every episode.

* SethGreen is a big ''StarWars'' fan. [[RobotChicken No surprise there]]. He's also into video games, although he admits he sucks big time in any game ever made because he lacks the coordination. Guest stars in the music video for WeirdAlYankovic's ''White and Nerdy.'' That action figure collection Al's dancing in front of? His. And he's Joker, the pilot of the ''SSV Normandy'', in the video game ''MassEffect.''

** And the movie references, dear God, ''[[BeyondTheImpossible the movie references...]]''

* JossWhedon has openly and repeatedly professed his love for the 2000s ''BattlestarGalactica'', eventually hiring [[TahmohPenikett Helo]] as the lead in [[{{Dollhouse}} his next show]], with [[JamieBamber Apollo]] and [[MichaelHogan Colonel Tigh]] as guest stars in later episodes. To top it off onscreen, he has Topher talking about Cylons and asking someone if she's [[UnusualEuphemism "out of her frakkin' mind]]".

** Simon Pegg seems have achieved the ultimate geek dream, both making an appearance in ''Series/DoctorWho'' and having a role in ''Film/StarTrek'' (2009). Edgar Wright is also getting to direct his own superhero movie in ''AntMan''. But before that, the quite geeky ''[=~Scott Pilgrim vs. The World~=].''

* Masi Oka: The number of video game references stuffed into ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' and the associated "alternate reality" portion of it might possibly have given this away. One gets the feeling Masi Oka would have specifically '''requested''' a time-traveling character, due to his love of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' -- or, possibly, as another reference to ''[=~Jojo's Bizarre Adventure~=]'', which ''Heroes'' has quite a few of. At least some of that must be due to having Jeph Loeb (a well known comic book writer) as a co-writer for the show.

** The action figure collection Al's dancing in front of actually "merely" consisted of a couple of figures that his Robot Chicken partner, Matt Senreich, happened to have lying in the back of his car. Seth's ''real'' collection is allegedly big enough to earn its own storage facility.

* JonStewart, in response to ''{{Fox}}'' claiming "Who knows what went on behind closed doors" when Obama met Hugo Chavez, said something along the lines of "And now marks [[FoxNewsChannel Fox News]] moving from political commentary... to ''{{fanfiction}}''."

** When Herman Cain suspended his campaign with a ''{{Pokemon}}'' quote, Jon and the rest of the crew [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-december-5-2011/indecision-2012---the-sh-t-s-gettin--real responded as only they could]].

* In his nightly news program, [[CountdownWithKeithOlbermann Keith Olbermann]] frequently quotes or alludes to ''MontyPython'' (and has had JohnCleese as a guest more than once), and criticized dire right-wing projections concerning President Obama's budget as requiring truly staggering precognition: to wit, the projections extend through 2080, "seventeen years after we first make contact with the planet Vulcan" (according to ''Star Trek: First Contact''). He also loves [[GameOfNerds baseball]] and has one of the largest baseball card collections in the country. He also runs [[http://keitholbermann.mlblogs.com/ a blog for Major League Baseball]]

* Unsure if it's only the product of the commercial he stars in, but [=~Mr. T~=], MemeticBadass extraordinaire, has appeared in a pair of ''WorldOfWarcraft'' ads, extolling the virtues of his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqJE5TH5jhc&feature=video_response Night-Elf Mohawk]], and displaying the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98uDkyzVvSc Mohawk Grenades]], the fruits of his skills as a "computer hacka'!"

** The guy also covers Disney songs on his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DZVOR4K93khttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DZVOR4K93k guitar]], waxes poetic about ''[=~Avatar: The Last Airbender~=]'' and stars in and (co-wrote) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmwM_AKeMCk A Very Potter Musical]] -- it's amazing that anyone could be unaware of his utterly fabulous nerdiness.

* [[Series/TheOffice Jenna Fischer]] is quite the horror movie enthusiast.

* [[{{MASH}} Loretta Swit]] loves [[PacMan Ms. Pac-Man]] and even owns a arcade machine of the game.

* Matthew Grey Gubler from ''Series/{{Criminal Minds}}'' actually does the magic tricks his character (Spencer Reid) does.

* Derrick J. Wyatt, character designer for ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', ''ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'', and most notably ''TransformersAnimated'', has both a personal blog and a 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.

* LisaKudrow, famous for DumbBlonde [[Series/{{Friends}} Phoebe Buffay]] is actually a real life BrainyBrunette with a BA in Biology from Vassar and considered medicine before acting.

* David Wain (of ''{{Superjail}}'' and ''TheState'' fame) recently [[http://www.yepimdavid.deviantart.com joined DeviantArt]]. He spends his time there adding sexy fanart of his character to his favourites. It's... unsettling.

* [[TheOffice Jenna Fischer]] is quite the horror movie enthusiast.

* Molly C Quinn of ''{{Castle}}'' is a huge fan of Star Trek,even showing up to Comic con in a red uniform.She was very excited to work with Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker) when He directed episodes.
** She also dressed up as a Mal from ''{{Firefly}}'' [[http://snarkerati.com/tv-news/files/2011/07/molly-quinn-mal-firefly.jpg for one con]]. Nathan Fillion, of course, is her on-screen father.
* Matthew Grey Gubler from ''{{Criminal Minds}}'' actually does the magic tricks his character (Spencer Reid) does.
** Paget Brewster also apparently became a serial killer geek after getting on the show and her "research" for her role (Emily Prentiss)has left her scarily knowledgeable about the topic.
* EmilyOsment of HannahMontana fame is an avid player of RockBand and is a fan of {{Twilight}} if her IMDb page is to be believed.

* [[HowIMetYourMother Cobie Smulders]] is a huge comic book fan, even having a fan question drawn into a issue of ''{{Fables}}.'' She eventually managed to land a role in ''Film/TheAvengers'' as Maria Hill.

* [[HowIMetYourMother Cobie Smulders]] is a huge comic book fan, even having a fan question drawn into a issue of ''{{Fables}}.''

** When he first saw ''RedDwarf'' on TV he thought it was plagiarising [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration his show]] and whilst he was calling up his lawyer he started laughing; something ''The Next Generation'' would hardly make him do. Been a fan ever since.

* Masi Oka: The number of video game references stuffed into ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' and the associated "alternate reality" portion of it might possibly have given this away.

At least some of that must be due to having Jeph Loeb (a well known comic book writer) as a co-writer for the show.

* ConanOBrien] is a professional nerd and has been filmed engaging in geek-out sessions with Stephen Colbert.
