Wait, is this celebrities who are gamers, or gamers who are celebrities BECAUSE of gaming?

He looks like he is going to crush you with his hand. The same hand he has perfected through years and years of pushing little joysticks.

A lot of these famous "girl gamers" (on G4 and the like) are just models and actresses hired to sell games. Something to keep in mind.

Isn't Ice-T really into brogames like Gears of War?

^Yep. I'm kinda offended at Gears being considered a bro game, but then again, it is... :| I was so happy in the days when people hadn't heard of the series, le sigh.

Doesn't Seth Green play video games? I thought I saw something about that.

From Wiki: "Mendez (real name) is a self-described tomboy and geek and enjoys comic books and video games. Mendez is also an animal lover, owning two rescue dogs."

here are some of her collections as posted on her Myspace:

Aw, that's so cute. AJ has this adorable, little sister thing going on. I hear some guys talk about how hot she is, but I don't see her that way. It's weird. I think she's cute, but in this non-hot, little sister kind of way

She's got Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid figures. Pretty awesome, and she likes Bubsy LOL. Not exactly everyone's favorite mascot character.

I think Alison Haislip is legit. I listened to her on the Nerdist podcast and she doesn't seem fake at all. Morgan Webb is a real gamer too, though I'm not really a fan of hers. They really should have someone like Felicia Day host a G4 show. She's a true gamer.

One of the things I never liked about the original Gears (I never played the others) is that it seems like a game about a bunch of jocks with guns. They all look roided up, they talk about sports at one point in the game and the end credits have a crappy rap song playing over them.

Seth Green said once in an interview about his voice acting for Mass Effect that he doesn't play games, but has friends who do. They told him that Bioware was awesome and that he should accept the offer to voice one of the characters in Mass Effect

Not too famous in the USA, but Stephen Chow (star of Shoalin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle) played video games. In a 1992 movie the "Perfect Family" there was a scene with him playing Street Fighter Alpha on SNES. I can tell he not a noob by the way he was playing.

Ah yeah, forgot about him. He had a world record on Record Setter for most consoles played in 30 seconds for a little while.
