Hi, I wanted to start a post asking if you guys knew any famous celebrities playing starcraft 2. This thread idea came up to me when I knew that Brian Gionta from Montreal canadiens hockey team (yes i'm from montreal, GO HABS GO) does play starcraft!

he probably does not play alot lol, but its just funny to know. My gf works in a gym for kids and all montreal hockey player's kids go there once in a while. It turned out she was talking to one of the kids about starcraft and gionta's kid said that her dad did play sometimes..LOL

so, do you guys know any celebrities playing sc2?

Mila Kunis (That 70's Show, told David Letterman)
Macaulay Culkin (Home Alone, BF of Mila Kunis, got her playing)
Dave Chappelle (Chappelle Show, told a crowd of people he played)
Kurt Schilling (Boston Red Sox, well documented on many podcasts, may no longer play)
Vin Diesel (Fast & Furious, said it on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross)

Yao Ming also plays WoW lol... Starcraft probably doesn't get any love from these "modern" celebrities anymore.

Didn't Vin Diesel like, write the foreword to the main rules of some DnD edition, or something like that too?

Slight derail, but I must prove you wrong

Edward Norton:

Orb:
Ok I can't find a picture of him... but hes a scrawny little fuck that weighs like 110lbs.

I do not know of any famous people who play SC2... There is a massive list of celebs that play WoW though, as previously mentioned. It'd take a decent effort to compile the list.

Yeah, was 30th anniversary book. Vin started out as a huge gamer, owns his own gaming studio right now I believe. Not sure how much he is into it anymore though.

I remember hearing Dave Chappelle really liked playing MUDs and hanging out on IRC. Nice to hear he's playing SC2 as well. I'm sure he'll contribute some witty builds.
