Rich Sommer of Mad Men: Game Geek.

It turns out that Rich Sommer, who plays Harry on Mad Men and was also in The Devil Wears Prada, is a board game geek. Not only in the geeky about boardgame sense, but also in the member of boardgamegeek.com sense. BGG just did a podcast interview with him where he talks about playing Twilight Struggle and 1960: The Making of the President with the other cast members (specifically the blonde guy and the bearded guy).
Rich also guested on The Office (the guy trying to get Pam to stay in NYC) and Jenna Fischer is a known Carcassonne fan, so he invited her over to a game night!
I love it when celebrities are boardgamers. There are a lot who play Scrabble, only a few that play eurogames (the only other I can think of is Sandra Oh, who plays Settlers of Catan).
Anyway, yay!
