12. Seth Rogan

Seth Rogan doesn’t just love the comic book and nerd genre, he brings the best of the genre to life. If not for him being a producer, programs like Preacher, The Boys, and Invincible may not have been created. If they were, those projects may not have been as good. He appreciates the source material and knows what to change to keep the soul of the comic intact.

Seth Rogan will also be executive producing Darkwing Duck and the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. The TMNT franchise needs new creators. Michael Bay didn’t do the characters justice. This writer hopes Seth Rogan brings back other projects like Deadly Class or Y: The Last Man in the future. Both shows might still be on the air if he was involved.

11. Patton Oswalt

If you’re familiar with Patton Oswalt the comedian, you know he loves everything about nerd culture. He made jokes and references to comics, Star Trek, Star Wars, and so much more. It would only make sense that he’d be part of comic book shows and movies. He’s had roles in The Sandman on Netflix, M.O.D.O.K., Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys, and Picard. He’s also Pip the Troll in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in Eternals.

All of this must be a dream come true. It’s certain that young Patton wouldn’t believe that he’d grow up and be part of the things he loves.
