Adam Sessler is one of the most famous and well-respected video game journalists on the planet, best known as the former editor of G4's video game section.

In recent years Sessler has crept away from the video game industry to pursue a new career as a media consultant, and he also dipped a toe in the movie world by appearing opposite Michael Madsen in the 2015 horror movie Lumberjack Man.

Sessler plays a campy camp counselor in the film, with an hilariously bad wig no less. Curiously, the movie was directed by Josh Bear, who helmed a number of well-received video games such as Splosion Man and Wilson's Heart.

We're going to assume the role came about through their industry connection, but even so, seeing Adam freaking Sessler in a movie is just completely, hilariously jarring.
