A Song of Ice and Fire-creator George R. R. Martin seemed to have GM'd alot. Call of Cthulu SuperWorlds
“The game was deeply and seriously addictive for all of us…but for me most of all…For more than a year, Superworld consumed me, and during that time I wrote almost nothing. Instead I spent my days coming up with ingenious new plot twists to frustrate and delight my players, and rolling up still more villains to bedevil them.“ David Benioff and Daniel Brett Weiss, the writers for HBO's Game of Thrones, both ran D&D and they became friends by playing in each other's campaigns.

- Oderus from GWAR is writing an RPG after a successful Kickstarter campaign
- The band Three Inches of Blood are said to to have write-ups of their D&D characters on their website.

Continuing the metal band thing, Gloryhammer, a hilarious band (comprised of members from Alestorm and others) on their press info for the first album had all the members statted out as D&D characters, which was awesome. Also, the singer for my favorite band Manowar; Eric Adams stated in an interview done in the 1990's that he played when asked the question "When was the last time you slayed a dragon?". His answer revealed that he probably played in the late 1970's and hasn't played since. Also, at last year's Gary Con, I met one of the guitarists for Solitude Aeternus and he came to Gary Con after attending NTRPG Con and he's another metalhead who plays still.
If you are looking for "celebrities" who played D&D I would suggest you pick up the book "30 Years of Adventure" which is a history of D&D. You will get a lot of them there from various occupations. A neat feature is the celebrities pages are written up like 2E Monstrous Manual pages (yes it was called Monstrous instead of Monster then).
