Celebrity Roleplaying Game

[Altus Lucrim]

If you were asked to be a GM for a Celebrity Role-playing game and got to pick four celebrities to fill your table who would you pick. I posed this question to my role-play group and got some interesting responses, I give you my four, in no particular order:
Neil Patrick Harris
William Shatner
Seth Green
Bruce Campbell

[mccorn75]

Matthew Lillard
Megan Mullaly
Stanley Tucci
Nathan Fillian

[Jal Dorak]

Sean Bean
Sam Neill
Steven Seagal
David Thewlis

[Talonhawke]

James Marsters
Neil Patrick Harris
Jason David Frank
Johnny Depp

[Aurumaer]

Tom Hanks
Ewan McGreggor
Samuel L. Jackson
Robert Downey Jr

***But I'd swap all of them for the chance to have Quentin Tarantino GM :D

This wins. But only if JDF plays a Ranger.

[Uninvited Ghost]

Felicia Day
Stephen Colbert
Robin Williams
Wil Wheaton

[Pan]

Tom Baker
Christopher Eccleston
David Tennant
Matt Smith

[gran rey de los mono]

Jolly Blackburn
Felicia Day
Vin Diesel
Christian Doyle (honestly anyone from Dead Gentlemen, but Christian seems like the most fun)

Although I would much prefer if Jolly ran the game.

[stormraven]

Aishwarya Rai
George Clooney
Stephen Colbert
Tina Fey

[Are]

Hmm..

Stephen King
Quentin Tarantino
Guillermo Del Toro
Tim Burton

[Jerry Wright 307]

That's easy:

Nathan Fillion (Just because.)
Felicia Day (I should not have to explain this.)
Wil Wheaton (He works well with the others.)
Joss Whedon (So he can switch off GM-ing with me.)

[Hama]

I kinda did that accidentaly, but they were local celebrities from my country. And all actors. it was the most fun game i ever ran.

[Aardvark Barbarian]

I would have to go with people that I think really own the characters they play

Gary Oldman
Alan Rickman
Robert DeNiro
Ed Norton

We may not get to the actual adventure, but I bet the RP between the party members would be epic.

[Zerombr]

Jolly Blackburn
Felicia Day
Nathan Fillian
Zooey Deschanel

Janet Varney
Robin Williams
Robert Downey Jr
Natalie Portman

[stormraven]

Horror-based Game (Round-Robin DMing)

Interpreting 'celebrity' somewhat broadly:

Lois McMaster Bujold
Felicia Day*
Wil Wheaton
Jeremy Renner (in his 'Hawkeye' persona)*

*Okay, these two are as much about the eye candy as about the potential gaming coolness, but still...

[Snorb]

Patrick Stewart (And let's be honest, he can read any edition's grapple rules and you'd be all like "zOMG, Patrick Stewart makes grappling sound awesome!")
Felicia Day
Matt Smith
Rainn Wilson

Special Guest DM: William Gibson (because Hunter S. Thompson sadly isn't around anymore.)

[MajorTotoro]

Neil Gaiman
Paul Rudd
Natalie Portman
Peter Dinklage

Special Guest for Narrated Bits: James Earl Jones

[Celestial Healer]

Ian McKellan (who would be required to play a wizard, naturally)
Seth MacFarlane
Alex Borstein
Alec Baldwin

[Calvert]

Yes, that's perfect. Big fan of Peter Dinklage. He makes "Game of Thrones".

[Calvert]

Danny McBride
Zack Snyder
J.D. Cronise
Jonathan Frakes (cause Wil Wheaton's too obvious, and I wanna see Riker as a bard, seducing left and right)

One should never grow attatched to any of Martin's characters. The sense of loss can grow exponentially. ;)

[CourtFool]

Dane Cook
Eddie Izzard
Robin Williams
Ryan Reynolds

The campaign may suck, but the table talk would keep you in stitches. I am not sure I am GM enough to reign Williams in.

[Fallen_Mage]

Vin Diesel
Sean Connery
Patrick Stewart
Sam Neill

[Drejk]

Roger Zelazny
George Martin
Walter Jon Williams
Steven Eriksson
Ian Cameron Esslemont

The first three played together until Zelazny's untimely death - I read about a great discussion between Roger's faithless chaplain and George's religious fanatic alien... I'd love to see that in person.
The last two also played together.
Having them in one place at the same time. Eh, one can dream. Maybe add Neil Gaiman to the mix but six players is a bit too much for me.

[Eradico Pravus]

Terry Gilliam
Umma Thurman
Benedict Cumberbatch
David Lee Roth

[Black Powder Chocobo]

Weird Al (bard)
Stephen Colbert (cleric or inquisitor)
Bruce Campbell (rogue or fighter)
Tina Fey (wizard)

[Eradico Pravus]

Terry Gilliam (gnome illusionist)
Umma Thurman (kick-ass samurai/sword-master)
Benedict Cumberbatch (wizard)
David Lee Roth (halfling minstrel)

[wargamer]

Archimedes
Sir Isaac Newton
Charles Darwin
Albert Einstein
