Famous people you've met

[Xak]

Living  5 minutes from the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, FL and working in South Beach driving escorts i had a few run ins with celebs. i even drove an escort before she got "famous" (Kat Stacks)

i met Tego Calderon shook his hand, he is a puerto rican rapper. I valeted and got an autograph from Orande Gadsen ex Dolphins receiver, I  walked past Ryan Seacrests midget ass he was walking with like 3 chics that dwarfed him while i was waiting on a girl in south beach. and i once took  a chic to go 'see' Emmit Smith, she didnt even know who he was! wow

 i met DJ Laz and Pitbull before Pitt was so famous.

i guess the coolest part was being friends with Kat Stacks before she got locked up (she got "famous" for filming soldier boy on Coca tonic)

[CrackTiger]

Who is Emmit Smith?

[NecroPhile]

The most well known person I've met is Bruce Campbell.

Seems like a real catch:

[Xak]

The most well known person I've met is Bruce Campbell.

No freakin way man. Damn u

like i said Kat Stacks was my friend, she told me once she started hooking in NyC at 13. She has been through a lot. Crazy shocking claim.

But Gods giving her  a second chance at life now, i pray she only lives in the light from now on.

[GohanX]

I met Sergeant Slaughter once.

[ccovell]

Working at a gas station in a snobby part of Vancouver, I've met a few famous people:  Lance Henrikssen (Terminator, Aliens, etc.) and a great guy he is too.  Also, Bryan Adams (jerk).  Some others who I forget...

I also shook Master Takahashi's hand at TGS, but I'm sure Tatsujin could 1-up me on that one.  Takahashi probably posted his bail or something...  ;-D

[PukeSter]

like i said Kat Stacks was my friend, she told me once she started hooking in NyC at 13.

Did she make love with the lights on?

i pray she only lives in the light from now on.

Ah, I see...


I saw John Cassidy (famous Balloon magician) at a baseball game once. Making balloons of course.

It's just getting better every day

[Tatsujin]

I've met a lot of the actors from the various Star Trek TV series.  Talked with Weird Al on the phone.  Had an intimate encounter with Betty White as well.   I want to all of the young peeps here to learn from my experience- don't have an intimate encounter with Betty White.

[Tatsujin]

I once met roger moore back in 1988 in grindelwald BE/Swiss. he was sitting just next to me in the jungfraubahn. he's known to be an outstanding skier. so was I!

[ToyMachine78]

In college I sold shoes to Alice Cooper and his daughter while working at the mall in Tampa.

[Tatsujin]

I also once met ursula andress back when that little biatsch was still a 'ooty. Since she was just livin' in da neighbaaahrhoods. Asked 'er aaauht for a date. Nuff said, yeah?

[futureman2000]

I waited on Davey Jones 15 years ago at the Olive Garden.

[OldRover]

Most of the high-profile people I've met have been rich but not necessarily famous. I don't tend to remember meeting famous people because they're just people to me so it's not a big deal.

[Psycho Punch]

I don't tend to remember meeting famous people because they're just people to me so it's not a big deal.

This!!! Not every "famous person" likes to be bothered by a fan everytime they step out of their homes... I actually heard from a friend that a famous guy (in my country) just told him to piss off when he tried to start a conversation. I would do that too if I were famous outside my house I imagine that it is good to be treated as a regular human being once in a while for them.

[OldRover]

Most of the "famous people" I've met have been in music, but there have been a few actors and highly visible politicians as well. A few I can remember meeting... I met Karl Sanders before he was well-known. He was just a regular dude. He was interested in my radio show, as I was the only DJ at the station playing Nile. I met Carlito, the wrestler, and he was cool as hell IRL. I once met Howard Dean, who I'm sure just about every person in the USA knows by now. Great guy and takes good care of himself, unlike most of the fatass lazy politicians I've met before (he was a doctor in a clinic near where I used to live before going into politics so I'm sure this helps). I've also met a few local celebrities while here in PR... mostly soap opera actors and actresses who were doing promotions. Usually good people. One lady in particular was in a Wendy's one evening and my wife at the time pointed her out to me and asked if I wanted to go meet her... I wasn't particularly interested in doing so.

Vanilla Ice once stopped at the pizza place four shops down from where I was working in a mall one evening. I didn't meet him personally but I saw him and how he interacted with people. He seemed like a pretty nice guy. I saw Jim Carrey stick his head out of a limo to shout at and spit at people. He was a major dickhead. Interesting how one guy initially built his career trying to make people think he's all badass yet turns out to be really nice, and one other guy built his career trying to make people think he's funny yet turns out to be a serious douchebarrel.

[BlueBMW]

I met Marc Summers (of Double Dare fame at the time) when Nickelodeon took over my elementary school in 1993....  It was a pretty big deal for a third grader.

[ToyMachine78]

Also in college I played pool a couple of times with Darius Rucker and the drummer from Hootie and the Blowfish. They used to hang out at one of the local bars on campus. The cool thing was that everyone did treat them as normal guys. People who didn't know the band, didn't know they were famous.

[jeffhlewis]

The most "famous" people I've interacted with are probably Bruce Smith (NFL HOF'er; played most of his career with the Buffalo Bills) and Kurt Busch (NASCAR driver; was buddies with the owner of the company I used to work for and occasionally made appearances in the office).

I had some beers with John Witherspoon (the dad from Friday) when he was doing a comedy show back in Virginia Beach. Cool dude.

[Bloufo]

I met the former Heavyweight Boxing Champion - Lennox Lewis.
This was back in 2001. He had come to South Africa to defend his title.
There was a bunch of us watching one of his open-to-the-public sparring/training sessions. When he was done working out he came over and greeted a few of us and spend a little time talking to us. His trainer at the time then handed out a few pairs of autographed gloves.

[ZachSpears]

No, just been playing music for a long time, been to a lot of concerts, and have some friends in the "industry" My best friend's cousin is the guitar tech for Slipknot. That's how I was able to meet a lot of people on Mayhem fest (slayer anthrax motorhead ect) The big head in the pic is me.

[TheClash603]

I go to the Fan Expo every year, so I have met many celebrities.  Some of them like to chat for a bit and seem like genuine people that just happen to be celebrities, whereas others are assholes.

I would say the biggest dick I ever met was probably John Carpenter.  Some of the cooler people I met that I talked to for a while were Lloyd Kaufman, Don Coscarelli, and Clive Barker.  It seems the bigger the name, the bigger the asshole, is the typical rule.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Most of these people are probably unknown here, but here goes:
Mickey Rooney, we used to clean his floors & carpets for years n' years.

Susan Silo, we clean her carpets.  She does a lot of voice acting http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0798152/?ref_=fn_al_nm_7

Jennifer Darling(she's a friend of Susan Silo's), we clean her carpets.  Does voice acting, you'd probably remember her as Irma from the original TMNT
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0201373/?ref_=tt_cl_t10

Larry Guli, we clean his carpets
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1067092/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Scott Bakula, didn't exactly meet him.  When Quantum Leap was still on the air, some friends & I were doing some work at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.  They had closed the doors to start whatever show was going on there, & we saw him & his daughter trying to find a way in.  One of my friends said "Why don't you try leaping thru the door".

Rudy Pardee of the LA Dream Team.  My brother made an album with him & another guy as DTP(Diverse Thought Process.  I used to go to the studio all the time with my brother to work on beats & such.  This was back in the early 90's.  The album was never released, & a record company owns the original DAT tapes unfortunately.  They did release a single however. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LA_Dream_Team

Mack 10, I'm not a fan, but I chatted with him at a Subway(the restaurant).  He was eating a sandwhich with his wife T-boz of TLC.  A few months later, we ended up cleaning they're carpets!  Maybe I had my work shirt on, & they took note of our company, not sure?

Mos Def, years before his acting carreer.  He was really nice & friendly.  Met him with Talib Kweli at Lyricist Lounge.

Aceyalone, Myka 9, Self Jupiter, & P.E.A.C.E of Freestyle Fellowship.  I've talked to Aceyalone on many occasions, usually at Project Blowed.

Abstract Rude & one of the dancers of Abstract Tribe Unique, I forget which one, same deal, mainly talked to Ab Rude at Project Blowed.  Him & Aceyalone always remember my name.

Phoenix Orion, talked to him mainly about Transformers, & the possibility of him doing an all Transformers inspired album.

Awol One & Circus of The Shapeshifters.  I actually used to talk to Awol fairly often on the phone.  I originally wanted to collaborate with him on something, but I gradually decided to get out of the music biz.

Sirk One of E Times 2.  I forget how I met him, but he actually came over once & listened to some of my beats.

Murs of the Living Legends, he was really cool.

Jizzm, not my favorite name for an MC, but he as a person was really cool.  I used to talk to him frequently on the phone about the music biz.

I saw Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine at Project Blowed, but didn't actually say hi to him.

Subtitle, I would see him all the time whenever I went to Aron's Records(his day job) & later at Amoeba's(another day job) & chat with him a bit.

Others I met:
Panda One, Afu-Ra, Busdriver, 2Mex of The Visionaries, Pigeon John, LA the Darkman, Thirsten Howl the 3rd, Master Fuol, Adlib of Global Phlowtations, The Grouch & Eligh of Living Legends, DJ Drez, Acid Reign,

[Tatsujin]

wow Mickey Rooney..watched him as a child (f.e. young edison) as well old man (f.e. mad world and later stuff) playing in movies. he seemed to be a very strange guy when it came to women stuff.

[wildfruit]

[Sadler]

Well, the one I'll admit to was smoking out with a former child actor at a house party in Boulder some time around 2003. Someone told me (it might have been the dude himself) who he was, but basically we just shot the shit about punk. I remember both of us thinking Millencolin was awesome.

[Paddyfitz18]

Sammy Sosa.  When I was in college back in the '90's, I worked nights as a doorman for a high rise luxury apartment on the north side of Chicago.  One night someone calls the desk and says it's Sammy Sosa, and that he is stopping by to see someone in the building and to call her up.  I was like, uh-huh, OK, "Sammy."  He was like "Dude, this is Sammy Sosa."  Anyway I called up the resident and as it turns out, she did know him.  And then, Jiminy Christmas guess who walks through the door about 30 minutes later?  The roided out Cubs slugger himself.

Over the couple years I worked there I ran into a few other local sports players, coming in at 3:00 a.m., some slobbering drunk.  There were some residents in the building who provided high-priced "escort" services, allegedly.

[Paddyfitz18]

I want to all of the young peeps here to learn from my experience- don't have an intimate encounter with Betty White.

lol

[turboswimbz]

Let's see:

Many small timers but here are a few that people may know:

Rex Tillerman - got to chat a bit with him.

The Current and previous 3 governers of NJ - mostly meet and greet handshake stuff

Yogi Berra - spent quite a bit of time with him, talking about his grandchildren. Yogi is insanely nice.

Daniel Tosh - got to meet and chat with him for about 5 minutes, kinda a jerk behind the scences but he was awesome to the fans at the show.

Steve Martin - he was on the morning talk show, so the interaction was quick, but he was super funny.

Hillary Clinton - handshake was about all

President Obama - Handshake and got to thank him for taking time to talk to the youth group I was with/ leader for.

[jeffhlewis]

Almost forgot - I hung out with Our Lady Peace back in College when they played near UVA. The guitar player was a doucher, ran on about himself for 30 minutes and basically saying that "back in Canada we only play stadiums, etc" (the venue was a medium sized rock club). Raine was a decently nice guy but didn't hang out too long. Bass player was really cool (I've noticed that the bass player in all the bands I've met is usually the nicest person).

[bob]

Countless athletes.
Korn (meh)
Probably most notable is all the pro skateboarders I met in the 90's when they would do crackpot "tours". Essentially just pile a dozen in a van to hit regional skateparks and other street spots. We had to take what we could get in New England. They didn't come often.
I was also an extra for a Spike Jonze project, so that was cool.

[TheClash603]

When I am in NYC, I see celebrities pretty regularly.  I guess it is kind of cooler to see them in the wild, than at a nerd convention.  Recently I walked by Howie Mandel by MSG and said "hey" and he put his head down and ran away.

When I was in China Town I saw the guy that plays Daryl on Walking Dead on a corner waiting to cross the street.  He was wearing a hat and kinda incognito, so I had to stare a minute to be sure it was him.  He caught a glimpse of me giving him the investigative stare, at which point he turned to the woman he was with and said "walk faster."  It was pretty awesome.

I'm sure most people "walk faster" when they see you.

[EvilEvoIX]

I've met Black Sabbath and Dio, countless sports Juggernauts from going to the U.  Springsteen is from my home town so he was a common staple, many celebs in NYC.

[Joe Redifer]

Lots of people I think. As a projectionist for several film festivals I've shown famous people their own movies while they were in the audience. Peeps like David Lynch. Others I remember off the top of my head: Saw Roger Ebert wandering around by himself but didn't want to talk to him.I had nothing of interest to say or ask. I don't just wanna say things like "I love ur work lol" or in his case "I'm indifferent to ur work lol". Oh and Jason Alexander (from Seinfeld) actually directed a movie once about 12 or 14 years ago and I showed it to him. It was kind of funny because he was almost uppity (not rude) about how he was directing his actress. Kind of like asserting his directing power. Saying how he made a non-smoking actress smoke for a role or some shit. He might have been trying to play it off with humor and it just came off the wrong way, I suppose. I've also met most of the OG and NG Star Trek folks but have not had sexual relations with Betty White. William Shatner re-tweeted me a few times as well. Oh and when showing the movie "Hope Floats" Sandra Bullock was sitting right in front of the door to the projection booth to avoid sitting in the actual test audience. I had to step over her legs to get in and out. I didn't even know it was her until someone told me, I just knew this lady was part of the show so I just did my best to to my job without causing a ruckus. Showed 3 different cuts of Independence Day months before release, all of them were better than the final cut. One used Apollo 13 music as the temp music track. I think the director was there but would never recognize him. The prints were awesome, we had to sync the projector to a magnetic dubber to run the soundtrack. Every cut in the movie was a physically taped splice. We also did this with Die Hard 3 but Bruce was NOT there. There's been more, I think.

But the most famous person I ever met is the guy who has actually spoken to James Rolfe, the AVGN. It's almost as good as meeting the man who met Andy Griffith.

[MotherGunner]

Here is my list:

MC Eiht (Rap Artist from the West Coast)
Kiko (Very famous personality from a Mexican show called "Chespirito")
President Jimmy Carter

[Psycho Punch]

Kiko (Very famous personality from a Mexican show called "Chespirito")
President Jimmy Carter

That's an unusual combination. 

[MotherGunner]

Now it is:  I forgot to mention MC Hammer.  He was in Redwood City, CA in his Rolls Royce and he pulls up next to me and my brother.  We're were like "Sup Hammer!" and he was pretty cool, said "What's up guys?!"

This was during the cocaine years too.

[Xak]

^awesome

Tony Touch, this was back in summer 2000
