Ever met a famous person?

[Kenbo Slice]

I've met Blaire from The Facts of Life at a Marie Callenders, she was friendly. I've also met Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch, he's cool. I've met all the members of Attack Attack, and they are all nice guys. I also met the singer of In Fear and Faith, he was awesome.

i Met guy Sebastian and didn't realise who he was i ended up having lunch with him and after 2 hours we parted ways .

No kiddin I was at a convention and got to pee next to Deforest Kelly (Bones, Dr. McCoy, Star Trek) and I exited the bathroom and saw a number of groupies, including my own sister on her knees howling in excitement and she screamed get back in there and get his autograph!!!. I asked for it, but he just patted me on the head and said maybe later.

Later, Sulu (George Takei) gave Jelly beans to kids, including me at the time. I was maybe 14 and it was around Easter 1977.

I sold some comic books to Billy Mummy (Will Robinson Lost in Space) and he was largely being nice to me. Good fella.

Harlan Ellison was an Ahole to me, but, he is still a miracle to nerds over all. I forgive him.
In fairness, he said he wouldn't answer questions, but, when you attend a covention, answer some dang questions!

I sat behind River Ta-Imean Summer Glau at a pre-screening of Serenity. She's really nice, and at least then seemed stunned that people actually wanted HER autograph, or wanted to see her. It was a cool experience.

 

[Zannkimaru]

Met David Bellamy years ago, lovely bloke, genuinely nice and down to earth.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

I saw Robert Redford at a concert once. Just saw him--he was a few rows in front of me.

 

[Nurb]

I met Burt I. Gordon, the famous B-movie director that contributed so many movies to MST3K

And I was roomates with Avenged Sevenfold's manager when I was in LA on '06-'07, and was accidently involved in a prank one of the band members pulled on him where they called the cops and said he was suicidal. Got dragged out of bet at 5am by the LA cops while they stormed his room.

Haha dude avenged is one of my favorite bands.

my dad worked with Dick Cheney,
I've had dinner with him

does that count?

 

[The87Italians]

I get my hair cut at the same place as Sidney Crosby, and it just so happened he was getting a trim the same day I was. He's a pretty nice kid.

The LTC from We Where Soldiers the real one.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

As a kid, Steve Irwin rescued a brown snake from our chicken shed, then later after he became famous, his daughter went to my school (in a much younger grade though), then a couple years later, I volunteered for a snake demonstration at Australia zoo.

You lucky bastard.

Meeting him was one of my goals in life *cries*

 

[Dr.A]

I've met Brett Favre....'s dog.

He was standing right next to me but I didn't even notice for interest in fawning over his pet.

 

[F'Angus]

I met the Blanks at one of their shows, their Ted's Band from Scrubs, shook hands with Sam Lloyd who plays Ted. Awesome

 

[Blind0bserver]

Hmm, let's see. When I was much younger and my mother was in her mid-life crisis "Groupie" phase I met the members of Better Than Ezra (a band none of you have probably ever heard of) and still have a black-and-white picture of li'l me and their frontman Kevin Griffin doing a rockstar pose at the camera.

More recently I've also talked to Carrol Shelby of "Ford Shelby Mustang" fame a few times. He's possibly one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Funny as hell, too.

And I swear to God I met Ellen Muth (Georgia Lass from Dead Like Me) in passing in a casino once.

 

[lonelydays17]

I've met Gerard Way (Singer of MCR: 4 times- 3 at comic book signings and once before a show), Frank Iero (Guitarist from MCR: at a show), Alicia Way (bassist), Jon Rivera (comic book artist), Ricky Rebel (local singer here in LA), Marc Webb (he directs a lot of music videos [notably: I'm Not Okay (I Promise), Teenagers, Miss Murder, Waiting]) &...I think that's it. Oh, John Roecker too (directed Heart Like a Hand Grenade & Live Freaky! Die Freaky!).
Gotta say, they're all very nice people. Very huggable too.

 

[whycantibelinus]

I didn't technically "meet" Bill Murray as much as i did just take a piss next to him in a restroom. Cool stuff though.

 

[Sonicron]

Well, I got to shake Henry Kissinger's hand, and I had a night out drinking with the Bloodhound Gang. 'Twas beyond awesome.

 

[likalaruku]

Closest I got was an email response from Jhonen Vasquez.

Well there used to be a girl on one of the many British soaps on T.V who came and lived in Barnsley and I used to see her quite a bit when walking around or just going to the chippy. Don't know if she's still acting or what soap... Never even really talked to her but I knew who she was.

Aside from that, back when my Great Grandfather was alive, he was good friends with Charlie Williams and he used to come up for dinner to his house... So we'd sometimes have dinner with him... Though they both died a long time ago and I was way too young to really remember much of it. That being said, I'm doubting Charlie William really counts as some one famous. He was a stand up act on The Comedians and a football player, common as muck. Also one of the first black people on T.V in England... However other then that, he really didn't do much else and I'm doubting many know of him... Even people in Barnsley.

Brian Glover was one of my Grandmothers teachers at school though. And they've met Jasper Carrot a few times. My other Grandparents have also met Patrick Stewart on more than one occasion.

Edit:Also, my old Thai Boxing instructor as a page on wikipedia if that counts.

I met Shia Labeouf and Micheal Bay. I was an extra during the college scenes of Transformers 2.

Micheal had this sense of self-rightiousness about him, though he was a nice guy. Shia chain smoked every chance he got. I did not take him for a smoker so that threw me off. Kevin Dunn and Julie White, the ones that play Sams parents in the movie were there as well. They were quite hilarious, and it was even more fun to see them in action.
