Met a lot. I worked for one. The one I worked for was really nice. I thought he was a D-Bag before I met him. lol0

I've met many famous people. Met Ryan Seacrest just this past weekend at American Idol auditions lol0

I've met Ido Drent (Famous in New Zealand), and Julie McNiven
Both of them were really nice and I got photos n.n0 -
I worked as a photographer and had t take pictures of Frank Rijkaard, a famous soccerplayer. He was a nice guy, very professional.
The strange thing: because he was as old as I am, I had the feeling I knew him personally. I knew how he talked, laughed, walked, and his expressions on his face. This was because from the moment his carreer started, he was on tv. He played in the Dutch soccerteam, so he was a lot on tv.
I knew him, but he didn't know me. The temptation to talk on a familiar way to him, was really big.
I talked with him about that feeling, and he said that strange people treated hem with big enthousiasm, like he was an old friend.
Sometimes he got tired of it, most of the times he could handle the screaming people, when he walked on the street.0 -
Quite a few times, the best one was Dwayne Johnson, very personable and down to earth.0

Favs--
Chris Tucker- awesome thanks for 150% tip
8-ball- you are awesome, love your music
lil jon- keep blazing
Jazze Pha- always a joy. He had on a sweater that said HNIC the first time I met him and I asked if that means what I think it means and he said "ya, playa." I waited on him almost every time he came in after that
Hank Aaron- thanks for the autograph0 -
A long time ago when the Chicago Bulls were in town I was behind Dennis Rodman (and a couple of guys who I assume were his "entourage") at an espresso stand. He got his drink and walked away without paying for it.
This is not one I witnessed, but a friend of mine was walking her dog (a Greyhound) and Gerard Butler was walking his dog...they passed in the street and her dog went over for a friendly sniff of his dog as they like to do, and he SLAPPED her dog HARD right across the face, said some choice cuss words and just walked away. I've never been able to look at him the same.0 -
I was almost hit by DragonForce riding a golf cart at the first Mayhem Festival
I asked for the I.D. of a member of Cheap Trick (without realizing who it was) when I was working security at a concert.0 -
I met MC Hammer at a Wendy's in Pittsburgh. He bought everyone a burger.0
-
I met Joe Torre when he was manager of the Yankees in a cigar shop one morning in Toronto. The man could not have been nicer. Talked to us for a few minutes just a nice guy. Also met Bernie Williams that night on the street outside of our Hotel - same thing - could not have been nicer stood there and talked to us for a few minutes very friendly.0

Donnie Whalberg, He is so kind and humble. He loves to interact with the fans.0

Oh how I miss Atlanta! I met Jazze Pha too before he was famous.
I also met Ludacris when he was "Cris Lova Lova" as a radio DJ, and again years later at a college concert. When he was a radio DJ, he cussed out my best friend for playing on the phone, but he was nice to me.
I met Ciara when she first came out with "Goodies". She performed it at my high school, and gave our cheerleading team a visit. She was a sweet person.0 -
Kinda, when I was a teenager I worked for a AAA baseball team. Met lots of guys who went on to successful careers and some guy sent down for Rehab. Daryl Strawberry & Doc Gooden played rehab games and were nice fellows. Met Jeter who signed a 1/2 dozen cards for me then and was really cool as well. Manny Ramierez was nice but he could hardly speak english at least at that time. Also met some future major leagues who were *kitten* as well.0

I would have slapped him back! That's upsetting.0 -
Yes! I once had a long phone conversation with a young comic who was playing a local comedy club and got my number out of the phone book. He was looking for a high school buddy with the same unique last name.
I didn't know the guy he was looking for, but we chatted anyway, for about an hour. He was very nice and down to earth. This would have been back in the late eighties early nineties. He and I are the same age and his name is Kevin James, aka Paul Blart, Mall Cop.0 -
I've met five U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Not exactly celebrities to most people but they are in my world. Justices O'Connor and Sotomayor are awe-inspiring. They look like unassuming women and then they begin to talk, and you hang on their every word. They are such smart, accomplished women.0

When I was a radio DJ, I interviewed Shinedown, 12 Stones, Unloco, and Big Dismal. The first 2 bands are pretty famous I guess. The guys from Shinedown were AMAZING. And Paul Mccoy from 12 Stones was a big sweetie pie. You'd remember him as the male half from the song by Evanescene "Bring Me to Life."
This past week, I got to meet James Marsters, Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, at Comic Con. It was my birthday, so he shouted my favorite of his lines at me: BEAR! YOU MADE A BEAR! UNDO IT UNDO IT!
hehehe
Oh yeah, I also met Jerry Springer and Steve Wilcos, but I promise I wasn't a guest on their shows.0 -

How'd you do?0 -
I met Bob Barker when he was hosting the Miss USA Pageant. I was a lucky guy getting to escort Miss Alabama across the stage (long story from my youth). Talked to Bob during a rehearsal, he was very nice, his on-air personality seems to be his real personality.0
-
I've met:
The Moffatts and Serial Joe (If you are Canadian...you know)
Gillian Anderson (X-Files - she was kinda offish)
Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger - really intelligent and friendly)
Danielle Harris (little girl in Halloween and Annie in Rob Zombies Halloween's. SUPER FRIENDLY i wanna be her friend :sad: )
Bill Mosesly (Chop Top in TCM2 or ya'll will probably know him as Otis in House of 1000 Corpses/Devil's Rejects very nice guy)
Julie Benz (Dexter...she is gorgeous)
I've been around a bunch of famous people just never talked to them0 -
Um, well, do porn stars count?
I met quite a few during Exxxotica in Chicago last month. :blushing:
The ones I met were very sweet, not what I was expecting at all. Kind of gave me an ego boost.0 -

I've heard he's a pretty big douche. And very full of himself.
I hope your friend let him have it.0 -
Nearly everyone on Supernatural.. (My favorite show)
Mark Sheppard - Dr. Who, X Files, Supernatural, Firefly, Leverage - he spent about 5 hours with my friends and I in the lobby of the Sheraton Park Westin, talking about TV and politics.
Denzel Washington - Met him in the elevator going up from the parking garage at the Arclight theater on Sunset in Hollywood. I actually didn't recognize him until he spoke. He looks really ordinary in person.
Brendan Fraser - Met him at the Mummy Returns premier. I was also an extra in one of his movies.
Mickey Dolenz - My mom was dating a record industry guy. He went to pick Mickey up at the airport and we went with him. My mom had dinner with them both that night.
Bruce Campbell - Met him a book signing for one of his books. Chatted with him a little. At the time, his brother and I worked for the same company. (different cities)
Judson Scott - Xfiles, The Phoenix, Brisco County Jr. - Met him at the Mummy Returns premier. He was very cool.. he went and got a top off on his drink, then sat and chatted with my friends and I for about an hour.
Oded Fehr - The Mummy, Resident Evil - Mummy Returns Premier.
Dee Wallace - Texas Frightmare weekend a few years ago. 2007, I think. Very nice. She wanted to know what horror movies were my favorites.
Malcolm McDowell - Texas Frightmare weekend 2007. Seemed nice but he was pretty rushed.
Anthony Michael Hall - Breakfast Club, pretty much every 80's movie guy - Texas Frightmare weekend 2011. I asked him if he was going to go sightseeing instead of just doing cons and getting back on a plane, and he told me about some of his sightseeing plans.
Michael Biehn - Terminator, Dark Side of the Moon, etc - Texas Frightmare weekend 2011 - weird guy. He liked it that one of my front teeth is crooked.
Jennifer Runyon - 18 again, Ghostbusters, Quantum Leap pilot - Texas Frightmare weekend 2011 - very nice. Was surprised I remembered her from Quantum Leap and a couple other old TV shows. I guess most people just remember Ghostbusters.
Julie Newmar - Batman - Some radio station event when I was in high school. Around 1981 maybe. She was very sweet.
Gil Birmingham - Twilight - a Native American art festival in Arlington about 3 years ago. He liked it that I remembered him from Buffy instead of asking him a bunch of Twilight crap.
some 70's TV people..
The guys who played the cops on Adam 12..Kent McCord and Martin Milner. This was at some comic book thing when I was a kid. Both of them seemed cool.
Richard Hatch from the old Battlestar Galactica. - Same event - really nice guy.
Steven Tyler - Staying at a hotel in Dallas where a friend of mine worked. I went up to visit her one night and ran into him in the lobby/hallway.
Duff and Slash from Guns and Roses - At a club called "On The Rocks" in Dallas 1988 after they opened for INXS. Slash - cool. My boyfriend bought him a drink and he talked to us for a bit. Duff - wasted, and tried to look down my dress.
All the members of the band Hurricane in the 80's. in fact, a lot of "one album" bands from the 80's. I went to a lot of concerts.
My cousin went to high school with LeeAnn Rimes. Not much to report. she was supposedly a bit on the quiet side.0 -
Holy crap, Smantha32, you've met a LOT of celebs!
Me? Well, I got a KISS from Harry Chapin during one of his last concerts (in Duluth MN) before he died in a tragic accident. I bought one of his books of poetry/lyrics, and he kissed me after signing it. Very cool guy, and awesome singer/songwriter.
I brushed past Bud Grant of the MN Vikings (coach from a long time ago) and said Hi to him.........he said HI back
I also saw Daunte Culpepper, also of said Vikings, in the airport in Mpls. He was a very BIG presence in the corridor, and dressed in a snazzy white suit, lots of bling.
That's about it.............................................Oh, I know where Bob Dylan was born, and took a pic of my brother on his porch steps.0 -
Holy crap, Smantha32, you've met a LOT of celebs!
