Anyone know if there are famous people(film,tv, music., etc.) that play 40K?. Me and some friend were dicussing it. And some rumors we put out in the conversation. They went as far as saying that Robin Williams and Angelina Jolie are involved in 40K.
Anybody have any known info? The members of the band GWAR seem like they could be 40k players.
Anybody?

There has been several threads on this. I think the main info you'll get is that Robin Williams plays 40k Orks, and there is a copy of the White Dwarf in a Will Smith movie. No, to little, celebrity info outside of that.
Though I did hear that Amy Adams painted an Armegeddon Steel Legion army for me and was going to present it to me in the nude.

That's what I've heard about Robin Williams. The other rumor was that Angelina Jolie was a Dark Eldar player.

Why does that fail to suprise me to any degree? I mean really, I could've seen that a mile away. That or Emperor's Children/some other Slaaneshi-related army.
Also: Googling it, it seems Billy Crystal and Robin Williams are 40K players.
Marylin Manson plays Low-Tech Eldar in WHFB
Will Smith plays Eldar.
Brian May's kids play, and it's rumored he used to.
Kirsten Durnst or Dunst or whatever her last name is used to play when she was younger. Turns out Robin Williams was the one that got her into it.
Vin Diesel is also -rumored- to play.

I know Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith used to play WHFB. Don't know what Army Smith ran, but Mewes played a Vampire Counts army, when he was on a late night talk show a few years ago he was talking about painting up the Undead Stagecoach thing

I really do. Sure you can bitch about this country, but it is a great one. Everytime Im done getting a trim up, he offers me to try out a few at the gun range lol.
Name another country that celebrates its founding by its citizens playing with guns and explosives. I love the US of A!

It was 'Enemy of the State' IIRC. I may be mistaken but I think the Box to 2nd Edition 40K was in it as well.
I'm glad someone else has mentioned it, I thought I was going mad.
I have heard this for a few years, and everytime I watch that movie I try to look for the mysterious whitedwarf. What scene is this in, supposedly?

The one at the end of the movie where Will Smith's family are all sitting on the couch watching the news. You can see the corner of the Gamesday logo, bottom right.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
