There are few things in life that bring in so much joy yet so much commitment as Dungeons & Dragons. You not only have to get a group together to play, but an effective campaign needs to have that group come and play for hours at a time on a regular schedule. Not only that, but the players need to commit time to develop their character for the long haul to help it shape and grow from adventure to adventure.
Given how nerdy it is and how much commitment is involved, it is difficult to imagine that actors, musicians, comedians, and athletes would have the time or interest for such things. After all, many Hollywood marriages fail for similar commitment reasons. You also don’t expect “cool” people to play but as stereotypes are smashed, more celebrities have been open with their nerdom. Here is a list of a bunch of celebrity D&D players that still play to this day, with several people you may not expect.
