Bernie Sanders is blitzing Iowa this week in last-minute push for his presidential campaign, and he's getting some help from a few familiar faces.

Joining him on the trail this week in Iowa, which holds its caucus a week from yesterday, are Susan Sarandon, Justin Long, Vampire Weekend, Foster the People, Girls actress Gaby Hoffmann, rapper Killer Mike and several other celebrities, as well as some colleagues in Washington.

Hillary Clinton has been rolling out A-list backers over the last month and had Jamie Lee Curtis stumping for her there over the weekend.

She held a concert last Thursday with Demi Lovato and today has tennis legend Billie Jean King doing her bidding.

That's in addition to Scandal star Tony Goldwyn, who plays President Fitzgerald Grant in the popular ABC drama, Girls Star Lena Dunham and Abby Wambach.

Clinton has also put her family to work, deploying daughter Chelsea and husband Bill to both Iowa and New Hampshire to campaign on her behalf.

She and Sanders are locked in a statistical dead heat in Iowa, the first state to vote in the 2016 primary election. She's ahead by a nose with 46 percent of Iowa Democrats' support to Sanders' 45 percent. Another four percent say they will caucus for wild card candidate Martin O'Malley, the former governor of Maryland.

Sanders is looking to the more than 50,000 young people attending Iowa's two major colleges for support and much of his campaign schedule over the next week is dedicated to pulling them over to his side.

The New York Times says Sanders team is targeting them with a 'Go Home for Bernie' campaign that offers to transport them to their home towns in Iowa to vote to boost the number of precincts he wins on Feb. 1.

The publication reports that Sanders has at least once precinct captain at all of Iowa's 38 colleges and roughly six in 10 of his volunteers are under the age of 35.

Actor Tony Goldwyn - who plays Republican president Fitzgerald Grant on the television show Scandal - traipsed through Iowa for Hillary Clinton on Saturday

Today he has Jonathan Sadowski, the actor who played Trey in Live Free or Die Hard, singer-song writer Brendan Hines and Justin Long of Dodgeball fame hosting a 'Phone Bank & Chill' event for him at his headquarters in the state's capitol city, Des Moines, a 45-minute drive from Iowa State University.

The trio will also make an appearance at a 'Talk Bernie to Me - LGBT x Art x Politics' event in Des Moines tonight.

Erza Koenig & Chris Tomson of Vampire Weekend and alternative rock band Foster the People will hold events for him later in the week, the details of which have not yet been announced.

So will Hoffmann, Killer Mike and Connor Paolo, best known for his role as Eric van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl. Devotees of the ABC series Revenge, cancelled last year, may remember for as Declan Porter.

The list goes on from there and includes two events tomorrow with Sarandon, a vocal anti-Iraq war activist - an issue Sanders is using to bolster his foreign policy credentials, and multiple stops with Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield - the founders of ice cream brand Ben and Jerry's.

They're the only billionaires Sanders is willing to openly associate with as he campaigns for the White House, and their contributions to this point had predominately been limited to ice cream. They lent their name to his campaign last month during a fundraising campaign as he sought to outraise Clinton for the first time since he joined the race.

Sanders fell short of his goal by about four million, taking in $33 million to Clinton's $37 million for an end-of-the-year total of $73 million to his opponents' $112 million.
