Trent Rezner, I remember reading an article in a magazine that he has his own Arcade collection, and gaming collection he was wicked into Doom, he considered Doom one of the main reason why The Fragile was pushed back for so long.

Quentin Tarantino, I herd he is a fan of Half Life

Surprisingly, Ben Affleck plays games, I remember an interview with him on X Play that he played multiplayer Doom back in the phone line days.

Of course theres, George Lucas, he even made a gaming company

Jack Black games, as do Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Vin Disesel is an old school D&D player and plays video games as well.

I wonder what it feels like for him to play Brutal Legend... Inceptiony, huh?

I once read in a copy of Nintendo power that Kirk Cameron was an avid NES gamer who played Gradius... Whats that? Nobody knows who the hell he is? ...This comment is no longer culturally relevant? Dammit....

Don't forget, he also did the soundtrack for Quake.

This really surprises me because I know he's a huge nerd. From interviews I've seen him (and Buffy co-star Nicholas Brendon) are huge comic-heads, so I just always assumed he was a gamer as well... that, and those Dragon Quest IX ads he did certainly put the image in my head.

In this interview, Sasha Grey mentions that she grew up playing Tetris, Mortal Kombat and Unreal Tournament 3 - she still identifies herself as a gamer, but hates the modern-FPS scene. I also saw a video of her playing D&D once.

I just gained a little respect for her. I think she's kind of crazy though, but that's normal for a lot of former or current porn stars

Yeah, he said in that interview that people always assume he's a gamer when he's not. Maybe things have changed since that interview though. I think he said he wasn't very good at them or something like that
