(10/10)I found this while trolling Wikipedia
That is a really good list. I knew most of those, especially Wil Wheaton, for years, but Tim Duncan?
I looked up his Wiki and BAM!!:
That is AWESOME!! Looking at his pic I could totally see him sitting across the table from me asking for another Mountain Dew while I describe the layout of a slave pen. I swear....if I ever get the money or the situation I want to sit down and game with some of these guys, especially Vin Diesel, Matthew Lillard and Seth Green (who they left off that list). I think those guys would be fun to see in a D&D campaign together.
I'm betting Seth would be a Ranger, Vin would be a Paladin and Matt would be a Sorceror.

As the popularity of D&D grew throughout the late 1970s and 1980s, the game was referenced more and more in popular culture. Numerous games, films and cultural references based on D&D or D&D-like fantasies, characters or adventures have been ubiquitous since the end of the 1970s. Typically, though by no means exclusively, D&D players are portrayed derogatively as the epitome of geekdom. References to the game are used as shorthand to establish characterization or provide the punch line of a joke. Many players, irritated with this stereotype, embrace the fact that professional basketball player Tim Duncan, comedian Stephen Colbert, musician Moby, and actors Vin Diesel, Matthew Lillard, Micheal Myers, Patton Oswalt, Wil Wheaton and Robin Williams have made their D&D hobbies public.

Duncan also loves renaissance fairs and the fantasy role playing game Dungeons & Dragons. An avid video game player, he acknowledges a certain joy of playing "himself" on basketball video games.
