Fun Fact: The two most popular interns, Eric Acasio and Robert Manuel, are not actually interns, they are production assistants. Various Staff have also masqueraded as Interns, such as Paul Bonanno.
Another Fun Fact: Paul Bonanno had a stand-in for the Robot Episode with AdamV, which led to a lot of confusion of his identity among the fans, such as this groups' creator. He was not present for the recording, so X-Play hired a stand-in rather than replace him with a different staff member for unknown reasons.
Fun Fact: Guy Branum started out as a friend of Laura Swisher's who made infrequent appearances on Unscrewed with Martin Sargent as the "Embassador of Gay." After Unscrewed was canceled, he got hired onto G4TV.com the Show, and was later fired and hired to replace Blair Butler as Senior Writer of X-Play when she got promoted. So basically, Guy went from being some random blatant homosexual peripheral character on a talk show to the lead writer of G4's most popular origional programming show in the span of 2 or 3 years. Also, the spelling of his name has been confusing before, but it is with one N and not two. It has been spelled both ways on X-Play.
NOTE: I did not list some staff because either they do not have any peripheral roles, I cannot find much info on them, or I simply forgot. Hey it happens. All of the above information is all taken from memory with some help from Wikipedia and IMDB, so some of it is bound to be inaccurate. Please feel free to message me with corrections, suggestions and additions of your own.
Remember, this group is for true fans of X-Play, be respectful and be nice.
