Max Burkholder grew up with "unlimited screentime," as a busy child actor going to work and school. He fell in love with video games through Kingdom Hearts, which helped him come down from the stress of being on the set of films like The Purge, Daddy Day Care and Parenthood.Now he somehow finds time for games while starring as the teen version of Mark Wahlberg's character on Peacock's Ted series, ploughing through long RPGs like Final Fantasy 16 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, as well as playthroughs of critically acclaimed puzzlers like Blue Prince. He was excited to walk out of videogamesne

Matthew Lillard is a very busy man, but if he has some downtime you can find him kicking butt at FIFA. We met up with Lillard at videogamesnewyork ahead of the Scream 7 premiere, to take a walk through his gaming memories — from getting destroyed by Dragon's Lair at the arcades when he was a kid, to getting carried by his son in Apex Legends.He may not be good — and he'll be the first to tell you that! — but he's in it for the fun.

K-pop idol and actor Matthew Kim (or Big Matthew, as fans of the group KARD know him) moved to Korea to pursue a career in entertainment — but games keep him in touch with his family. His love of video games started with his father, who was "nasty" on Super Mario, and continues today when he plays Call of Duty: Warzone with his little brother.
