Here, in no particular order, is a top ten list of Warcraft-playing celebrities:
10. Dave Chappelle
British audiences may not be too familiar with Dave Chappelle (maybe you caught him in The Nutty Professor telling your mama jokes with Eddie Murphy? No? You missed out). He’s actually one of the most popular comedians on the planet, with a hit show Stateside.
“You know what I’ve been playing a lot of?” the comedian reportedly asked a crowd a few years back. “World of Warcraft!” When a few cheers broke out, he responded, “I knew I had some geek brothers and sisters up in here!”
9. William Shatner
Celebrities that appeared in World of Warcraft adverts also play the game apparently. That advances this list quite a bit, so I won’t use them all. For example, I’ve deliberately missed out Steve Van Sant from The Sopranos (for not having a long enough spot) and John Claude van Damme (for talking in French).
First up is Captain Kirk from Star Trek:
8. Mr T
A night-elf Mohawk (and don’t try to tell him otherwise…)
7. Verne Troyer
Mini-me is a Mage.

6. Kevin Werbach
Who? OK, so Mr Werbach isn’t strictly a celebrity. But he gets into this list because he is influential. He has the ear of President-elect Obama and is on the changemonger’s transition team. More importantly, he’s part of not one, but two guilds.
5. Matt Stone and 4. Trey Parker

The South Park creators wrote an episode based on the game. It was so good it won an Emmy. There’s no way they could have done that episode which is filled with so many Warcraft in-jokes without having played the game first.
3. Jay Mohr
You may have spotted this actor as the evil agent in Jerry McGuire, or on his guest appearances in shows like the West Wing and Scrubs. But he’s something of a World of Warcraft comedian, and hosted the proceedings at Blizzcon – the Warcraft convention in Anaheim, California – this year.
I was there. Jay was hilarious throughout. This is my favourite moment from the weekend – when he starts to ride the mount of the winner of the costume contest.
2. Mila Kunis
She plays Meg in Family Guy and was great in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. What are her gamer credentials? When she was quizzed about her WoW knowledge, she could name 8 of the 10 playable races. For goodness sake.
1. Macaulay Culkin
When Mila started to struggle with the questions, her boyfriend Macaulay “Home Alone” Culkin got involved.
He’s a level 70 Paladin apparently.
So there.
don’t worry, one day… you will join us.
Not ***** likely.
Unlikely, I have severe RSI. It’s difficult enough to get through a day of work.Is WoW trackball friendly?
I work in a computer repair shop, and you should see some of the people that bring their machines in here with WoW problems. They make us techies look like rock stars comparatively. The last one was literally the complete cliche, mid 40s-early-50s wife who could be hot if she didn’t spend 100 hours a week playing it, who also as much as came out and told me her life and marriage were falling apart as a result of the addiction. She’s spent literally hundreds of dollars in the last few months bringing her machine in here to fix different things, to keep her machine going so that she can feed the WoW beast. I don’t think the chain-smoking into the air intake vents is helping either..
I use xp and ubuntu at home, vista and redhat at work. We use HP EVAs and a little bit of EMC kit as well. also Juniper Netscreens and Pix firewalls. Software is mostly Java based with clustered Oracle DBs at the back. How you doing rockstar?
@Bertram23: are you really saying what I think you’re saying ?
Congrats you work at a server farm. No one cares.
@Bertman23: Holy smokes, no way! You run TWO different OSs on each computer? I can’t believe you get to use firewalls as well! And to top it off, you software is JAVA BASED?!?!1oneI bet that nickelbacksong was inspired by you.
And thus we have discovered a new species: the server farm douchebag.
*Enter David Attenborough* The rare species of the server farm douchebag, seen often crawling the depths of the internet searching for an easy meal. But no, this server farm douchebag will find no such victim here…
My dad is 100 feet tall.
Comment was so full of douche it’s dripping.
You seem a tad wound upIt’s all about time management.. ‘foo
So much hatred, perhaps you should mellow out by killing some boars in Elwynn Forest
perhaps 3.49578 billion boars…
Or we can make the hatred grow by making them kill murlocs…sigh…-_-DREADED FIENDS!I play WoW..I’m not addicted, I play other games, I’m not addicted. One just need other things to do so you wont become a loser.
You know deltron, I really love playing WoW. True, it can take up a lot of time, but like everything else one indulges in, you do it in moderation. I’ve got a great job, most awesome girlfriend (contrary to what you believe about a lot of us). I work pretty hard so when I come home, I like to let loose some evenings by killing mythical creatures. That sounds pretty sane to me and there’s a ton of people out there who agree. So on behalf of everyone who loves playing World of Warcraft, ***** YOU, deltron.
liar
I second that. I won’t deny that WoW is an addictive game. It’s why I wouldn’t dare try to play while in college. Over the summer breaks however, I play. Maybe an hour or two a day. If I can fit in a full-time job, an 1 1/2 hour workout every other day, and any other interests I have (‘fraid I was single this past summer so I can’t chalk that up to my credit)…well then I manage it effectively.I’m not a “psychotic freak” just because I like to play WoW. I drink. I socialize. I support myself and live in a house with four other friends of mine. I’m a typical university student. ***** you for telling me otherwise.edit: I will admit that picture of Macaulay Caulkin is not the least bit flattering
***** YOUSeriously saying ***** YOU to random people on the internet in moderation can be healthy for you.
amen brudda
“I work pretty hard so when I come home, I like to let loose some evenings by killing mythical creatures.”Well, in all fairness, that hardly sounds sane.
“work pretty hard so when I come home, I like to let loose some evenings by killing mythical creatures.”I’d like to ***** your girlfriend while your occupied with that.
I’d say Macaulay Culkin qualifies as a psychotic freak. Proof? Level 70 paladin!
most of those were unconfirmed speculation
Yeah only a freak could have fun playing a Paladin theyre so boring
Believe it or not, not everyone who plays wow is a 40 hr/wk addict. It _is_ possible to play it casually like any other game.
Not if you want to level at an acceptable pace.
I tried playing it just to test out a server my friend built (because paying rent on a game is soooooo awesome). Got to level 30, begrudgingly. That game is as fun as recreational math.
First time i played for two months and got bored at level 26. second time i started over, played for two months and got bored at level 35. Third time i went on to a private server and made my level 70. It was exactly the same as level 10.
well, that was rational!
YES!! jajajajajaja(as a gunbound player would say)
hahah! omg its terrible that i knew exactly what you were talking about.. i played gunbound when i was like 11, for 8 hours a day, one terrible summer break… with all those phillipinos, argentinians, UAE arabs…, cali azns…
Not a time sync like WoW or auto-erotic asphyxiation. Well I’m middle of the middle age and I still play (once or twice a year I get the bug).
sink*
How original.
Wow, some of you WoW supporters got awfully defensive in response to this, didn’t you? You suuuure you don’t have problems?
you’re an idiot-theres 11 million WoW players, dont ***** with that
The people in the commercials don’t count. They were probably given a computer and free one year subscription, and admit to having “tried it”
You probably dropped out of your mother’s vagina and dented your soft-spot.But since I don’t know for sure, I’m not going to say stupid ***** like that.
^that was pretty stupid.
Good thing he didn’t say it then.
TOO FUNNY! Best laugh line of the day, Megaton.
Megaton you are my ***** hero.
Wow, not only was the level of offense you took to someones comment that didn’t even really insult your “game” ***** pathetic, but your two little fanbois who actually found it appropriate and funny are idiots too. I fear the day these morons play their last days of that game — I don’t WANT them to go outside, I want to keep them right where they are.
I’ve never played WoW in my life.I guess you didn’t get my point about how making assumptions is a stupid thing to do.
megaton 2, zombiekiss 0
Seriously. I can’t imagine Ozzy playing WoW. He can barely speak. He’d get ganked or something and be like “BUhbuhbab… buhduh… SHARON!”
I really can’t imagine Mr. T plays. I can’ imagine him doing anything other than driving a GMC van and telling fools to quit their jibba jabba.
Well imagine this. Mr. T mowing his own lawn!It’s true. He has a house in Lake Forest, IL and mows his own lawn instead of hiring people to do it like everyone else.
Do YOU want to tell him there’s no such thing as a Mohawk class?
He HAD a house in Lake Forest. When he was diagnosed with cancer (don’t worry, he’s fine now), he came out of retirement and moved back to California. But when he lived in LF, he did mow his own ridiculously large lawn.
Seriously I doubt half of them play WoW, or any computer games as a hobby. However that does not mean that there aren’t celebs playing….. Movies want us to believe they live extremely glamorous lives, going to VIP parties and have no time to just relax. Celebs aren’t robots, they are human just like the rest of us. There are plenty that play video games and probably some that play WoW during their downtime. Robin Williams is a pretty hardcore gamer from what I understand… Vin Diesel, well ***** he made his own video game company. Overall who the ***** cares? Most celebs aren’t going to say anything, because they just want to be left alone. If Obama came out and said “I’ve been playing L4D every night this week” (Because I was playing with a guy earlier today who sounded exactly like him…), what do you think would happen? If someone found his Steam ID he’d get millions of friend invites, and if somebody were to play with him they would probably kill him just to say “HOLY ***** I JUST KILLED OBAMA LAWLz”. Then there would be the crowd that says “WTF he’s wasting my tax dollars!!! I know he’s human but he needs to be working 24/7!!!!”
You’re right!
From what I’ve heard Vin Diesel is an ubernerd stuck in a muscular body. He also still has a weekly DnD session and is a huge SciFi junkie (Which explains Riddick and Babylon A.D.)
I’ve just imagined Vin Diesel saying that he’s a female halfling archer… Riddick will never be the same again.
Wild assumptions and half-conclusions, awesome list!!!
Shatner plays, Troyer plays, I don’t think Mr. T plays, but I have no basis for my thinkage. I guess Mila Kunis plays, and McCauly Kaulkin plays.Top 10 is subjective. Top 10 anything is like asking for an ass rape.I don’t think anyone cares about anyone playing except Mila. If you spend 10 minutes with her, you would rethink your want. Most annoying celebrity I’ve ever met. Wait.I gave up my subscription last month so GG me.
Yeah, because celebrities don’t already own computers./s
youtube.com/watch?v=mT8maUTzE48&fmt=18
What? No scene with ozzy biting off the lich kings head?
Mila Kunis is magically babelicious
I didn’t know you had a thing for Gremlins. news.filefront.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/ … weaknights.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized …
goodplasticsurgery.com/archives/the-new …
I think you’re thinking of Tila Tequila. realitywanted.net/wp-content/2007/12/ti … weaknights.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized …
@CTK14A: No, he’s just gay.
I’m sorry for your lack of heterosexuality. =/ but hey, whatever makes you happy!
Mila Kunis may not be super hot, but she sure isn’t ugly. Buried for being an *****.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but she most certainly does not look like a Gremlin in that movie, or anywhere else I’ve seen her for that matter.
I own it. Looking good in one movie doesn’t mean *****. Every ugly person can have one photogenic moment.I’ve seen almost every episode of That 70′s Show, and she always looked like Batboys bitchy hell spawn. seattlest.com/attachments/seattle_dan/mini- …
Well I’m sure whatever you’ve been sticking your dick in lately is 100x hotter./s
I think an entire movie is more than “one photogenic moment”, unlike the single random picture you linked to.
Yes.
Yes, Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin are “domestic partners” as well. I guess they are too busy on WoW for anything serious.
maybe they don’t believe in religion, hence don’t get married.
alright fine. She’s babelicious relative to WoW players. god damn.
I dunno man, she’s a lovely lady don’t get me wrong. But there are hotter fish in the proverbial sea.hope i used that word right
So you’re gonna pass her up? That’s cool.
There are very few celebs that i know i am cooler than… Culkin is on that list… whats up Mila
She did a nude scene in some indie film. Don’t know the name of it but they have a clip at egotastic. I’d link but TOS.
a blurry topless scene is not a nude scene.
I think the bigger story here is how the ***** did Culkin score Kunis?
If she were president, she’d be “Baberham Lincoln”
If you ever met her IRL, you would take that back.
Most of those people don’t play WoW.
They don’t even play it. Watch the commentary for that episode.
How? LINK?!
@JamesYou buy the DVD.
“Fellow board members, we have a problem. Somebody in the World of Warcraft is ignoring the world’s rules, and is going around killing innocent players.”"Why kill innocent players? The game is about finishing quests.”"We’ve got to delete him from the servers.”"We can’t. Whoever this player is, he’s played the World of Warcraft so much that he has reached a level we thought unreachable. He’s actually able to kill our admins! And he grows stronger everyday…”"Jesus.”"I’ve got to get home; my kids are playing World of Warcraft right now!”"Jim… your kid’s characters are already dead.”"No…NO… they just started playing!”"What kind of person would do this?”"Only one kind. Whoever this person is has played World of Warcraft nearly every hour of every day for the past year and a half. Gentlemen, we are dealing with someone who has… absolutely no life.”"How do you kill…that which has no life?”Possibly one of the best scenes in the history of South Park.
Mila Kunis can gank me anytime.
Where I’m from gank means to steal. Maybe it’s a WOW term as well, I don’t know, but I don’t see how it would be fun.
Yeah, it means to “just kill out of nowhere” it usually implies that you’re attacking someone weaker, as well (i.e. lower level, crap gear).
Sapped girls can’t say no.
SPY sapping my KUNIS!
…but you got to be a horde for that
I put on my robe and wizard hat…
How the ***** is Home Alone dating Mila Kunis?
Why are you wondering that? He has a more prolific career than she does.
Being touched by Michael Jackson doesn’t count.
What about being in two of the biggest (although lame) movies of the 90′s?
Had, not has.
He’s got mad dollas yo.
Because he is young, rich, fairly attractive, does drugs and plays WoW
lostsymphonies ***** nailed it.
I don’t think he’s the least bit attractive. He still looks like an 8 year old with pubes on his face. He has about the least-manly features I’ve ever seen on a grown-man.
so you’re saying he looks like a blood elf?
Young, rich, somewhat attractive, does drugs, and plays video games. Jeez, what more could a girl want?
He’s got smack
I just had a wtf moment about that too. Man I suck.
He’s a fricken creeper. Mila could do so much better, like me.
I question whether you could do much better than Macauley Caulkin.Though Mila could.
Pic or GTFO.
i have to point out, home alone is hot, plus there is something about his face being so familiar from childhood memories that gives him +3 hotness points
You’re surprised? She probably loved his movies, like everyone else. At least now we know what he does with his time between doing blow and getting blown.
I used to like Mila Kunis…
Me too until I found out she plays for the alliance.
OMG! me too.
Bill Amend, creator of Foxtrot plays on the Bronzebeard server.
More people play WoW then there are people in Israel.Wow.
why isn’t Alex Albrecht on this, he’s a celebrity
I’m famous on the internet.
oh yea, thats right. I totally forgot that people on the internet aren’t real.By the way, you are reading an ONLINE article about people who play WoW (an INTERNET based game). So you’re saying people who are, for the most part, only famous on the internet shouldn’t count to be listed in this INTERNET article about one of the nerdiest/geekiest games ever created (aside from D&D?) that uses an INTERNET connection 99.9 percent of the time. Internet based game + internet famous actor = internet article about the two? I don’t know, makes sense to me.
Because people who don’t play WoW and don’t know anything about celebrities who read the times IN ENGLAND probably don’t know much about an American internet famous person?
who?
I prefer Chris Kluwe, the Minnesota Vikings’ punter, applying for a WoW guild: flying-hellfish.com/index.php?name=PNph …
That is awesome
Nice find.10 bucks to whoever finds Home Alone’s guild app.
“(god I look lame. Why couldn’t I pick a real position?)”You’re sure it’s not fake?
it’s bs
it’s him, i played on the server and it was well known.he ended up getting warglaives with the guild.
Then why does his armory show epic 70 daggers? I’d think he’d be sporting the glaives if he had them!
Ha I love stuff like this. Reminds me of Curt Schilling’s interviews about Everquest back in the day, before any celebrities realized it was cool to play videogames.
“Oh, and in my spare time I play for the Minnesota Vikings as the punter”
Damn, that’s my server. Too bad I didn’t roll horde there.
a jock applying for a geeky guild? sounds like a “revenge of the nerds” plot line.. good for him, for he has seen the light
I laughed out loud at:WE NEED BLOOPERS OF YOU FAILING TO TACKLE
“I do not understand this sport at all.”
10 celebrities that are also losers!
Nothing is enough to make me want to play a lame grinding game.
Mila Kunis makes me want to play grinding games all day (and night).
Dave surprised me.
inaccurate: black people dont play warcraft.
I always KNEW Macaulay was a level 70 dork….so no surprises there.
Figures why I hate him so. Paladin. Frakin paladins!
Buried for using “Top 10″.
Yeah. Right after saying “in no particular order”
How is Wil Wheaton not on this list???
It was “Top 10 celebrities who play World of Warcraft”, not “Top 10 celebrities who live in the World of Warcraft”.
it is not “People that were sort of celebrities decades ago..”Yeah, um, not a single washed up celebrity on that list..
“Top 10 Celebrities” what a ***** concept. Call it “10 Celebrities That Play WOW” or something but to rank them is ridiculous.
FTA: So here, in no particular order, is a top ten list of Warcraft-playing celebrities:submitter is dumb
“Here, in NO PARTICULAR ORDER, is a TOP TEN list …”Wtf? No, both the submitter AND the author of the article are dumb.
Why are these celebrities ranked in this order? And why is Macaulay Culkin #1?
Maybe the rating is how big of a loser they are? Hence why Dave Chappelle and William Shatner are so far down.
But Mila Kunis is number 2….
Yeah, I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall.. she’s in the right place.
RTAHe said in no particular order.
So why even bother placing a number next to them if they’re in no particular order?Seems stupid to do something like that.
Blizzcon != Warcraft Convention” Blizzcon – the Warcraft convention in Anaheim, California – this year.”I stopped reading there…
Don’t forget George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher from Cannibal Corpse. youtube.com/watch?v=cW_Lv0r-l4c
Hard to forget someone I’ve never heard of.
This interview is incredible!
Awesome, I’m glad someone brought this up. They made a NPC based on him for the new expansion.
Yeah, yep. List buried for not including him. That interview is ***** epic.
Of course, old Georgie Corpsegrinder
i never listen to Cannibal Corpse but this guy is badass i ***** hate when people force laugh
FOR THE HORDE!
I don’t listen to Death Metal, but he’s ***** awesome.pretty much sums up how i play though.. ***** gnome pieces of *****..”Stop going into ***** Elemental Plateau ganking people; i’m trying to get Motes of Air”rofl!and the NPC is.. Gorge the Corpsegrinder wowwiki.com/Gorge_the_Corpsegrinder
First thing I did was ctrl+f –> CorpsegrinderGlad someone mentioned it.
hahahaah so awesome
i’m not a 100% sure if its him, but there is a horde rogue on my server named Corpsegrinder, and he is very well known for ganking any and all alliance he runs into.
Corpsegrinder is to long of a name, the limit is 12 characters.but i seriously doubt it’s him. he plays on Burning Blade at the time of that movie, and i doubt he would want to attract so much attention to himself…would be interesting to hear him or some of the other celebs on Ventrilo or Teamspeak.Heard Robin Williams plays as well, don’t think i’d ever get anything done if he was on ventrilo.
George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher plays WoW… for all you metal heads. youtube.com/watch?v=cW_Lv0r-l4c”***** THE ALLIANCE! ***** DIE, YOU ***** EMO *****!” -George “Corpsegrinder” FisherLOL
That interview was priceless.
Does that mean that playing WOW ruins careers? Most of these people’s careers and in the tank.
