Does Trent Reznor count? I don't know how he could have decided to create Year Zero as an ARG without having at least followed an ARG, if not actively playing them.

But of course, every unfiction player is a celebrity. Didn't you know that? Wink

What is more exciting to me is the number of players who become Puppet Masters of their own games.

I agree with Rose - I think Trent Reznor definitely counts. I bet there are several others who play or are involved in ARGs in one way or another.

And since the genre appears to be growing quite substantially, and it's a great marketing tool to promote just about anything, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a lot more celebrities hop on board and take part in ARGs in the coming months/years.

Rumor was, Wil Wheaton played Last Call Poker initially...

...and of course, we all know who played Metacortechs. Wink

I like to imagine that my ARGs are being played by every model in the Victoria Secrets catalog.

... Why are you looking at me like that? Is it something I said?

The awesomely amazing Seth Green apparently likes ARGs. He did an "ARG-lite"/contest called "Dude Where's My Butterfinger?" (which I loved) not that long ago....

I've heard hearsay about Tim Kring of Heroes being into this (also before the Conspiracy for Good time)
