Line 167:
* Noomi Rapace is an admitted fan of the films of Ridley Scott and credited him as an inspiration for her acting career. She would then get the lead role in his film ''Prometheus''.
* AJ LoCascio has been a huge fan of the ''[[Back to The Future]]'' films from when he was a kid. He now gets to voice Marty McFly in the Telltale games—and has also gotten to meet Bob Gale, Christopher Lloyd, and even Claudia Wells. He has yet to make contact with [[Michael J. Fox]], though.
* [[Evanna Lynch]] grew up as one of the biggest fans of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' series, even going so far as to name her cats after characters in the books. When she was selected to play Luna Lovegood in the ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix]]'' [[Harry Potter (film)|movieHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', her resemblance to the character [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|went a long way toward hyping the movie for fans]]. Her performance, lauded as one of the best in the film series, led to even more praise for her and the movie. She was such a huge fan (and aware of her resemblance to Luna) that she made herself a custom Luna Lovegood outfit for Halloween, complete with homemade radish earrings. Then she wore the earrings to the audition. Then she wore the earrings—which, again, she made because she was that big a fan of Luna -- ''in the movie, as Luna''. Ms. Lynch is the ultimate Promoted Fangirl.
* In November 2013, [[J.J. Abrams]] and Kathleen Kennedy [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/21/r2d2_star_wars_movie_british_builders/ selected two British robot-building fans of ''Star Wars''] to be on the official construction crew creating the R2-D2s to be used in the [[Star Wars|final ''Star Wars'' trilogy]].
