Actor Michael Chiklis is a drummer, has a nice DW kit (or kits). There was a video out there with him and Lukather playing around a bit... can't seem to find it though... but he's hanging around with the right crowd of musicians.

 

[TheBeachBoy]

Of that list I knew of John Stamos, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Fred Armisen, and Bill Burr. The rest I've either never knew played (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Frankie Muniz, & Rosie O’Donnell) or just don't know (Jamie Oliver & Cara Delevigne).

I can't think of anyone else to add who hasn't already been mentioned.
