Many of my encounters with celebrities are "on the street” (trying to meet them before or after an event).
In some cases, that is at a hotel, airport, backstage door, premiere, book signing, etc.
Most encounters, though, are at pop culture conventions where people pay to meet the celebrity (usually in exchange for an autograph or photo). This is great because it is a guarantee that a meeting with a celebrity will happen. Some of the best conversations and quality time I have had were at these conventions.
However, that guarantee and quality time comes at a high price. Each celebrity charges a set price in order to walk up to their table and meet them. The prices for each celebrity vary depending on their fame or demand.
Because of the high price of these meet and greets, I was limited in getting to have these Gospel conversations.
That’s where great supporters like you come in!
If you decide to support one of these celebrity meetings, you will receive the autograph that’s obtained at the signing (your choice of 8x10 image provided by the celebrity’s management team), as well as live updates and immediate messages on how the meeting went and their response to the Gospel!
Thank you for supporting this ministry and getting the Gospel to those who are known, yet forgotten!
Below is a list of different pop culture events I will be attending within the coming months.
Beside their name, I am also including any questions or statements they have publicly said about God, Jesus, religion, spirituality, or eternity.
I will NOT include celebrities I am waiting outside events, hotels, airports, backstage doors, etc.
The only reason this option is available with these conventions is because I have to make an autograph purchase in order to witness them.
These names will constantly be updating, so please check back and pray about which soul God lays on your heart to support.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email CelebrityEvangelist@yahoo.com

In an interview, Nick Frost stated that he was raised as a Catholic but now identifies as an atheist. He said, “I wasn’t really a big film fan until I met Simon [Pegg]. He educated me in the way of the movie. ‘The Omen’ is one of my favorites. Even though I’m an atheist now, I was brought up Catholic and can remember thinking that it could actually be real! The first ‘Dawn of the Dead’ is a great one. We had a TV serial in Britain called Day of the Triffids, and that was always really terrifying for me as well.”
In a separate interview, Frost said, “Even though I’m an atheist now, I was brought up a Catholic, and if you’re a Catholic and you believe in God and the Bible, then ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ is like a documentary!”

While talking about different horror movies in an interview, Eli was asked, "As a Jewish filmmaker, presumably you’ve come to The Exorcist from a different perspective from people with a Christian faith. Is there a different kind of fascination for you with Christian mythology?"
He replied by saying, "It’s interesting. It wasn’t to do with being Jewish – I don’t think of myself as a Jewish filmmaker, I just think of myself as a filmmaker – my father was a psychiatrist, a psychoanalyst, a professor at Harvard, the medical school. So I approached it from a psychiatric point of view, The Exorcist, and it traumatised me. I said, ‘can this really happen? This possession? Can it really happen?’ I was six and my dad said, ‘no don’t worry about it, we’re Jewish. We can’t get possessed. We don’t believe in that’. I was like ‘I do! I believe this is real.’ I thought I’d be the first test case, that I’d be the first Jewish kid to be possessed by the devil, and believe me there are many that would argue that I was. But it always fascinated me because it was something that wasn’t taught to me and I thought, ‘well if they’re not teaching this then maybe this is real’. Maybe it was something they didn’t want me to know about. As a kid I had real fantasies about that."

In 2023 while promoting her new movie "God's Country Song," Mariel told Fox News, "I did suffer tremendously. I had depression probably most of my life. My belief in God has been a cornerstone for me. It has helped me understand the things that I came from. I come from an amazing family, but there was also a lot of addiction, alcoholism, depression and suicides. And very serious mental illnesses that I was deeply afraid of.
My belief in God and my belief in prayer and connecting with the God within and your inner voice – that has always been… a saving grace for me and a good path for me. It reminds me that all of this is so interconnected. I believe in lifestyle. I believe in connecting to the Earth. I think nature is God’s expression of how beautiful where we live is. We need to protect that. And we also need to connect to that because we’re so much a part of it.”

"Dylan kept me updated every step of the way, even texting while he was in line to meet
Mr. Galligan.
This gave me the chance to pray for Dylan as he presented the actor with a Bible and material explaining how to accept Christ."

"Although it is a treat to receive an autograph, the much greater reward and joy is knowing that these souls were able to hear the Gospel message.
It is my prayer that he
will one day come to accept the Lord Jesus Christ."
-Jamie Robinson
"I recently had the opportunity to donate to Dylan Novak's mission work to evangelize to celebrities.
Mr. Novak had the chance to meet Zach Galligan, the star of the 80' s movie Gremlins, one of my family's favorites.
Dylan kept me updated every step of the way, even texting while he was in line to meet Mr Galligan.
This gave me the chance to pray for Dylan as he presented the actor with a Bible and material explaining how to accept Christ.
As someone who grew up appreciative of entertainment, I also have always been drawn to pray for the salvation of the people who brought a little happiness to our lives. Unfortunately much of our entertainment involves the promotion of a self-centered culture, and a lack of Christian moral values.
As a child it brought me to tears to think that any of my favorite entertainers might be on a fast track to Hell.
At a young age I felt a calling to pray for the lost and anyone I was uncertain of their spiritual state.
When I found out about Dylan's mission work I knew I had found someone who had a similar calling and was using opportunities available to him as a way to evangelize.
Overall I appreciate the chance to support Dylan in his work doing something that I would love to do myself if given the chance, and look forward to supporting future missions.
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2 : 3-4)."
Harry Grillo
"When I first heard about Dylan Novak’s ministry of sharing the Gospel with celebrities on his
Instagram page, my heart leapt with joy. I myself have had a passion for communicating the truths of
Christ to Hollywood, and was often discouraged seeing many of my favorite celebrities die, not knowing
whether they had come to true saving faith.
Dylan’s ministry gave me inspiration, as I was also someone who frequently attended comic cons and have met my share of celebrities. His boldness inspired me to send Christian material to both Dylan Sprouse and Julie Newmar, the later of whom responded back to me in a Facebook message, confirming that she received the material and was deeply appreciative.
I felt a kindred spirit in Dylan, and the Lord laid it on my heart to financially support his ministry and help him fund two trips, one to Matthew Lillard, the other to John Glover, both of whom, I’m told, were
extremely warm and receptive.
Although it is a treat to receive an autograph, the much greater reward
and joy is knowing that these souls were able to hear the Gospel message. It is my prayer that they
will one day come to true saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I have great respect for Dylan and the Kingdom work he is doing, and I am glad to partner with him in ministry and pray that the Lord will continue to bless his evangelistic efforts."
Jamie Robinson
“It was such a blessing to come across Dylan’s ministry page on social media and see the work he is doing for the Lord. So many celebrities have gotten to hear about Jesus through him.
Dustin Diamond was one of the first pictures I came across and I remember thinking how awesome it was to see Dylan sharing Jesus with him, especially considering Saved by the Bell has always been my favorite show.
Dustin had even shared the picture and thanked Dylan for the book he had given him. Even though the Holy Spirit is the only one who can convict someone’s heart, all of us who follow Christ have a duty to tell people about the Gospel.
Dylan has a very unique ministry and I would highly encourage people to financially support the wonderful work he is doing! I am grateful for the chance to support him and I encourage everyone to regularly keep his ministry in their prayers as well!”
