A respected figure in the gaming and esports community, Zhi Ko also has formidable experience in branding, marketing, advertising, and cryptocurrency. A few of his business endeavors include gaming peripheral company, Noble 5, and gaming and technology news source, NekozTek. As the gaming community is a close-knit group, Zhi shared a few famous names who happen to be hardcore game enthusiasts.

Michael Fassbender

The versatile Michael Fassbender is perhaps best known for his roles as a young Magneto in the X-Men series and the android David in Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. It turns out that Fassbender is a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, so it didn’t take much for him to sign on for the lead role in the film adaptation of the games.

Michelle Rodriguez

Yes, there are female gamers, and they will proudly raise their hands. This tough cookie left quite an impression in the Fast and Furious franchise. It’s no surprise that Rodriguez calls herself a “diehard” Halo and Call of Duty fan. In fact, these games had a big impact on her preparing for the movie Battle Los Angeles. Fun fact, she started off playing an OG classic:  Doom.

Olivia Munn

As gorgeous as she is geeky, Olivia Munn is a favorite at conventions and a part of the Star Wars universe. She’s also an avid gamer, favoring selections like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Halo, Guitar Hero, and Rock Bank. Gamers everywhere swooned when she described her perfect night as a case of PBR and playing Guitar Hero until 3 AM.

Danny Trejo

Having been in hundreds of movies and dozens of TV series, a lot of people know Danny Trejo’s distinctive face but have no idea what his name is. That’s OK, as this actor has a cult following, including in the gaming industry. He has lent his voice to Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty titles but got hooked on Animal Crossing during the pandemic lockdowns.

Robin Williams

An honorable mention goes to the late, great Robin Williams who loved World of Warcraft, Half-Life, Call of Duty, and Battlefield. If you have ever wondered why he named his daughter Zelda, it was a nod to the Nintendo franchise The Legend of Zelda. Williams had such a deep love for the original game that Nintendo asked him and Zelda to appear in some of their commercials.
