It would be nice to have evidence on some of them to be sure that they read comics and aren't just comic movie fans or lending their name to comic companies like the guy who played Peter on Heroes. (He has had his own comic called Rest but he didn't write it I think or draw it. Plus I don't think he reads comics.) Or Carrie Keagan, she talks about comic book movies all the time on her show, and goes to the Comic Con all the time, but I don't know if she actually reads comics or read them in the past. Nothing wrong with that, just that this is a list for well known people who read/are fans of comics. It'd be nice to put this list in ABC order, but...

A lot of wrestlers are.

Joe Manganiello (of True Blood) was on the BBC show, the Nerdist, and mentioned how he loved
comics so much as a teen that he would actually steal them from his local store. And that he got
so good he could steal them from behind the counter. And he ended up with Ghost Rider #1 and
stuff like that, and that it was around the time of the Todd McFarlane Spider-Man stuff. (He
mentioned also that 14 years later he returned all he stole back to the store and was forgiven.) Later
in the show he played a trivia game where they had to guess if it was a dinosaur/German
Restaruant/or Comic character, and he always guessed (with what seemed to be sureness) that it
was a comic character. He seems like he is still a fan, maybe, but at least isn't affraid to show that
he was a huge fan back then.
