1. Caligula:
Roman Emperor. Insane; once threw a section of the audience into a gladiator fight because he was bored.
2. Nero:
Another Roman Emporor. Even more insane than Caligula (his uncle). Killed his mother, forced the ruling class of Rome to commit suicide for monetary gain. Sang and acted in public- the only Emperor to ever do so. Was a huge advocate for the arts. Kicked his wife to death. All around awesome guy.
3. Michael Sheen:
Stage and film actor. I most respect him for his absolutely brilliant portrayal of Nero in The BBC Rome mini documentary/drama series. You might know him as Aro from Twilight. I hate Twilight, overall awful films, but he was even brilliant in that.
4. Alan Cumming:
Primarily stage actor. I most admire him for his brilliant job playing the Emcee in Cabaret. You might know him as Floop from Spy Kids
.5. Joey Grey:
Stage actor. Positively stunning as the Emcee in the '80s film Cabaret.
6. Johnny Depp:
Brilliant actor. What more needs to be said? He's fabulous.
7. Tim Burton:
The most amazing director ever. Absolutely visionary.
8. Stanley Kubrick:
I think I could have put "Jesus" for his name and it would have the same effect.
9. Michael Crawford:
Stage actor. I most respect him for his chillingly genius job playing the Phantom in the original Broadway Phantom of the Opera.
10. Stephen King:
Writer. I love his horror books, my favourites being The Shining, Firestarter, and The Dead Zone.
11. Edgar Allen Poe:
Author and poet. Wrote brilliantly dark stories and poetry.
12. Shane Dawson:
Youtube celebrity. His videos are absolutely hilarious. He's saved my life more than once.
13. Lady GaGa:
Mama Monster is my reason for existence. Her music is amazing, her style and looks are fit, and her artistic vision is revolutionary. I love the things she stands for.
14. Jason Mraz:
Not only a brilliant musical artist and essay-ist (is that a word?), Jason is a true crusader in the fight for gay marriage to be legalised everywhere. Like me; he has pledged to not marry until gay marriage is legal everywhere in the US. Props to his fiancée Tristan (she's a girl) as well.
15. Thomas Jefferson:
What? He was cool. He was a brilliant architect, artist, and writer. And he enslaved his own children!
16. Liza Minelli:
Actress. Brilliant singer, and amazing in everything she does.
17. Chris Colfer:
Actor and singer, you might know him as Kurt from Glee. His genius and personal relatability has been a huge influence on me.
I think that's it... if I remember any more I'll add them.
