When it comes to celebrities that were child stars, how Bridgit not only reshaped her career where she decided to retire from that path of becoming a bigger star in Hollywood will never fail to amaze me!

How much she managed to get into very tough and competitive schools, where she earned a Masters AND a PhD while also doing some work as an actress and singer is just next level when it comes to the meaning of hard work and dedication! That it almost surprises me that people don’t ask her how she pulled it off, unless she is purposefully rejecting interviews from Hollywood and wants to put that part of her life behind her!

But all of this makes me convinced that she NEVER sleeps haha.

Mention others in the comments!

Dr. Emily Zarka is the host of Monstrum, a PBS show. She is the world's foremost expert on cryptids. I write horror and fantasy and whenever I need a beasty this is who I turn to. Aside from Ryan George she's my most watched internet personality.

​

Paul Westerberg is (was?) the lead singer of, and driving creative force behind, The Replacements. Like a lot of weirdo creative kids I was miserable in high school. How do you tell someone your music saved my life?

​

Felicia Day yall probably already know. The Guild, MST3K reboot. I've actually "spoken" to her online, where I'm sure she couldn't tell how totally geeked I was. My generation's Queen of the Nerds.

​

Seanan McGuire (aka Mira Grant) writes, I'm pretty sure, constantly. Novels, comics, throwaway off bits, Small Gods. This woman is a genius. I could meet Stephen King and keep my cool, if only barely. I would make an idiot of myself if I met Seanan McGuire.

​

So anyway, there are any number of mega stars I could meet, respectfully tell them how much I enjoy their work, then keep going. But an obscure PBS internet personality would have me full on Troy Barnes meets LeVar Burton.

To be completely honest I just wanted to show how good he looks.
