Nathan Fillion

Followers: 1,777,704 The man best known as Richard Castle loves his Twitter and isn't afraid to use it for positive means.

Kurt Sutter:

Followers: 250,119 Sons Of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter is a rebel in all facets of his life. He's hard on the things he loves most, which is why his Twitter followers have a love-hate relationship with him.

Louis C.K.:

Followers: 2,474,870 This affable comedian has managed to unlock the secret to all of this social media shenanigans: don't abuse the power. After conquering the comedy world with his ingenious premise of selling online streaming of his special for $5, Louis C.K. only tweets when the moment hits him. Something that his only followee (Colin Quinn) online can appreciate.

Chris Colfer:

Followers: 1,847,246 You'll instantly forget that this character actor on Glee is only 21 when you follow him on Twitter. Life imitates art. As "Kurt" on the popular Fox show, he's consistently funny and charming, so it should come as no surprise that Colfer's updates are equally fantastic.
