What famous people have played D&D?

[Jeph]

It's not surprising. Gamer=Creative=Gamer, IMHO. No wonder all those authors/actors play.

Don't know if this is true, but it would not surpise me if Babylon 5 creator J Michael Straczynski plays RPG's. Claudia Christian plays, VERY cool.

Wouldn't be surprised if it really was him

I play when I am not on tour.

Saw you on Leno the other night...

 

[Balthasar]

However, no matter how many famous people play, we are all still very much geeks....

The star of route 666 tires really hard to play. I forget his name only met him once and that was when we had to ask him not to come back cause he was just that bad.

Lou Diamond Phillips?

I read somewhere that Ming Na from ER used to play when she was younger.

I have said it before, and will say it again

Angelina Jollie (though it is said that she would prefer the BoVD to a "christian campaign"

Robin Williams,
River Phoenix (alas poor river, he kicked the intentional bucket)
Alot of the kids from the Goonies, (Sam LoTR)
Would be surprised if Led Zep didn't play it at least once
Godsmack (the group)
Harvey Danger
Chris Farley played for awhile as a kid, and in college
Gena Gershont (sp?) like Angelina ends up elsewhere

oh, and Louix XIV was a big time metagamer

I'm not 100% sure about Robin Williams. All the reports I've read say that he is into Warhammer miniatures. Related, but not the same. I believe most of the comments are based on speculation that if he plays Warhammer he must have tried D&D.

I remember reading in a magazine that Robin Williams is addicted big time to MMORPG, Counter Strike, but this is the kind of magazine that publishes naked pictures of royalty.

There is somewhere on-line an image of Mr. Williams playing Warhammer at least.

An intersting note, the main actors and director in the D&D movie played a campaign mirroring the movie.
