    I once saw a man trying to book some rail travel in a branch of WHSmith years after they stopped providing a Travel Agent facility. I remember thinking what horrible flakey skin the poor man had. I recognised him from somewhere but thought he was someone I knew at school, after he left the shop though I realised it was Jimmy White, a British Snooker player

    I also bumped into Simon Maccorkindale Christmas shopping in Bath one year with his girlfriend, he was starring as a senior consultant in the British equivalent of ER, 'Casualty' at the time which is filmed in neighbouring Bristol.

    More recently I was walking from Paddington to Oxford St in London and took a double take at comedian Tim Vine coming the opposite way on my pavement - again I didn't realise where I knew him from momentarily or I wouldn't have looked at him as if he had 2 heads

    Met 30 Seconds to Mars twice! Once in March '08 and again in November '10.

    Worked on the film Safe House so I met Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington :))

    When I met Ryan, (I was probably drooling as I shook his hand) I introduced myself and he replied "Hi, I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you." Most celebs probably wouldn't introduce themselves cause they expect people to know who they are. Even though everyone obviously knew who he was cause he was the lead actor of the movie we were working on! Such a nice guy! :)

    I LOVE RYAN REYNOLDS!!!!!!!

    You can tell how cool I am with this - The Wiggles. Very nice guys.

    Natasha Henstridge - Nice but almost seemed shy.

    Richard Grieco - (from 21 Jump Street) I skated to entertain the extras for his spinoff failure show Booker. I was like 12 and even then I remember thinking, "Buddy, you are only cool because you know Johnny Depp."

    Met lots of Vancouver Canucks players through the 90's as I trained in the same facility as them. I remember getting kicked off the ice one day so they could have an emergency practice. One guy said "Sorry to steal your ice girls" and my friend snapped back "That's okay. You need it more than we do." The whole team bust a gut laughing getting schooled by this tiny figure skater.

    Know lots of people in the Canadian figure skating world but not so famous to anyone else...

    Ray Liotta came into the shoe store I worked at and bought a pair of Ugg boots from me. I had no idea who he was and spent quite a while talking to him, and after he left my manager started gushing about how jealous he was.

    He was a really nice guy and ended up coming back into the store more than once.

    I once interned at a NYC radio station for a morning show and got to meet some people:

    Sarah ferguson (Duchess of York)
    Sarah mclachlan
    The bangles

    I was working when other celebs were there, but I actually met the ones above and took a picture with them. It was a great experience. I had to take a 4am train though. That was the only sucky part, but worth it.

    Was Sarah McLachlan nice? I named my daughter after her song Adia :happy:

    When I was in grade school my parents took my brother and I to some type of fair and we got to meet Catherine Bach, the original Daisy Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard. I remember my brother got a kiss on the cheek.

    We also met The Banana Splits (Old kids show). I thought we had autographed pictures of both, but they're long gone.

    I also met Jeff ( Jeff- fa fa!) Dunham when we were in Vegas. I do have the pic and autographed Peanut doll. : )

    SERIOUSLY jealous of those of you that have met Robin Williams!
