Michelle Rodriguez? Funny you should mention her in relation to lost, since her character only lasted one season.
Here's the tweet.

I read Lil' Wayne was a big madden player and often challenged people to try and beat him.
Also here in the UK there is a rapper/grime artist called JME that is heavily into gaming. He often tweets about xbox and plays COD and Gears. Also has several custom controllers that he had posted pictures of and even have away several Destiny beta codes too. Cool guy.

Well duh, where do you think he got his name from?
Huh, I checked the Mario Wiki and apparently the guy who localized SMW actually named this guy after Trent Reznor. So it was the other way around.

Love her on the show, this makes it even better that she's a Wolfie fan! XDJanina Gavankar

I didn't know that Henry Cavill is a big WoW fan. That awesome! Maybe there's something about WoW and Superman, because Brandon Routh is such a WoW nut he was begging for years to be in the WoW movie.
Justin Bieber showed up at a Bungie thrown Halo: Reach launch event and, with his bodyguards, took over several kiosks, kicking out, among others, actor Ron Livingston. Nathan Fillion refused to leave which resulted in this immortal tweet:
The whole writeup of the story from Bungie is great.
I'm not sure that's right. He campaigned Nintendo to be in the Super Mario Bros. movie in the early nineties because his kids loved the games so much.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Kevin Hart letting Ice Cube know what's up :lol
Says his favorite game is Metal Gear Solid. Respect.

Holy shit I remember that forum. It was my first forum too. I even went to the spin off site until just a few years ago lol.
Awesome thread.
Edit: Props on the name Neff. Good series.

She's also a completionist. I remember her saying on Attack of The Show that she loves collecting and doing all the side quests in a game. For her she's not done with a game until she's gone through and seen every inch of it.
A woman after my own heart.
I have not seen anything she's involved in, but I'm suddenly a big fan of hers

He has a Dark Souls sample in one of his tunes. Also a big MGS fan.

I was working on a game where they wanted him to do VO and that's what we were told. /shrug
Maybe he's secretly resentful for losing out the role in Mario. It could have done wonders for his career...

The "rescue Space Michael" level in Space Channel 5 Part 2 probably is my favorite level.
Joey Barton. He once complained that his place of birth in Football Manager wasn't quite right.

I remember how Screw Attack made a video to challenge Soulja Boy. He made a video accepting their challenge, then when Screwattack tried to schedule it and he stopped responding, he deleted the video. Luckily someone backed it up:

Felicia Day for loving her some old-school CRPGs.
Gaming is pretty big with EDM DJs and producers, unsurprisingly. Deadmau5 is a huge player of Minecraft, FF and Zelda (had tracks named "You Need A Ladder" that sampled the Zelda theme that was later reworked into "Sofi Neesd A Ladder", and another track named "Limit Break").
Porter Robinson also mentioned in interviews that he is a self proclaimed Japanophile and some of his biggest musical influences are DDR and SNES/PS1 era RPGs.
Afrojack samples from FF and there's a documentary video of him where he's playing Triple Triad on a laptop on a train.
And on a non-EDM tip, John Petrucci from Dream Theater loves his Saturn and did music for a pinball game for the console. I do believe that Dragonforce are big gamers as well, and I'd imagine many other artists in the metal scene are into gaming.

Julie Chen is married to Leslie Moonves who is a Director at ZeniMax, God only knows if he actually plays the games. He makes $66.9 million a year.

Anyway, I always kinda liked how involved Jack Black is in gaming. I still remember how he (with some help from Harmonix) invited people to play Rock Band 2 with him.
Also, Paul McCartney has to be mentioned. Even though I doubt he really takes time to play games, the way he incorporates The Beatles Rock Band and Destiny gameplay videos in his concerts is awesome.

No wonder they are so miserable, they had to play the PS3 version of Red Dead.
Also to add to the thread. Biggie Smalls said he had a Super Nintendo and a Sega Genesis.
