Can you guys name some celebrity gamers?

Probably old news to some people, but not me. I had posted something in a Zelda Anniversary thread about Robin Williams naming his daughter after Zelda. I just find out that he also named his son Cody after a video game character. Final Fight maybe? Also, according to wikipedia:

"He also enjoys pen-and-paper role-playing games and online video games, recently playing Warcraft 3, Day of Defeat, Half-Life,[49] and the first-person shooter Battlefield 2 as a sniper.[50] He was also previously a fan of the Wizardry series of role-playing video games.[51]

On January 6, 2006, he performed live at Consumer Electronics Show during Google's keynote.[52] In the 2006 E3, on the invitation of Will Wright, he demonstrated the creature editor of Spore while simultaneously commenting on the creature's look: "This will actually make a platypus look good."[53] He also complimented the game's versatility, comparing it to Populous and Black & White. Later that year, he was one of several celebrities to participate in the Worldwide Dungeons & Dragons Game Day."

That's pretty awesome. Do you guys know of any other celebrities who are avid gamers? Off the top of my head, there's Felicia Day and Wayne Brady

A little about Keith Apicary and Felicia Day from wiki:

"He was later given a "Dreamcast 2" in the form of two Sega Dreamcasts taped together by Felicia Day at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards, which he was present for as Gametrailers.com Press."

and two links featuring Robin Williams and Wayne Brady talking about games:

"I'm a huge game nerd. I have a mini-arcade in my house, but it's like old school games like 'Donkey Kong' and 'Mario'.

"I hold the record for all of them. Everyone who has a little gamer in them comes over and tries to beat my score, and I get a little competitive. I'm number one on 'Galaga'."

"I would play video games from, like, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and I would wind down. Then I'd go home and go to bed," this was the only way I could go 'beta' and go into that state I needed to be, where I could calm down and take my mind off everything. I didn't want to see anybody, talk to anybody, deal with anybody. Julian [the guy who ran the place] would put the key in the lock and open the door, and he would just kind of look at me like, 'Wow, I'm glad I'm not you.' You got no idea, Julian. Julian, I need you. I need you to get that key and open the f- - -ing door and let me in. I got to play 'Galaga.' "

Michelle Rodriguez



You've seen her in movies like Fast & the Furious, Avatar, Girl Fight, plus she was on the TV show LOST. She has talked about playing games in multiple interviews and apparently really likes competitive FPS games and racing games like Project Gotham. She has been in a few videogame movies, like Resident Evil and BloodRayne. She has also done some voice acting and appears in games like Halo 2, True Crime: Streets of LA, and Driv3r. I know this because my wife has a huge fan crush on her and whenever she gives me crap about playing too many videogames, I remind her that Michelle plays them too.

EDIT: I think you will also enjoy this pillowfight short:
