    My husband and another couple were in New Orleans for the weekend. We noticed Jason Segal walk in. My husband offered to buy him a drink. He hung out with us for a couple of hours. Super nice guy.

    Met Shaq in Baton Rouge. He was taking some summer classes at LSU.

    I play in a charity baseball game each year that Mark Harmon plays in with Rick Sutcliffe, Frank Marshall, and some other former athletes. I've met Little Richard, and I know several pro bowlers (does that really count?). I also have performed with country singer Kellie Coffey. But most importantly.......porn star Jesse Jane lives in my in-laws neighborhood. :bigsmile:

    I "briefly" (at least I considered it "dataing") dated Christopher Pyle- Artimus Pyle's son from Lynyrd Skynyrd.
    Oh, and so I met Artimus while seeing Christopher.

    Claudia Schiffer was waiting in St Pancras Station, London, ready to catch a Eurostar. She looked beautiful wearing a huge designer coat and large sunglasses. She only had one person in her entourage by the look of it, probably a PA.

    Claudia Schiffer? Schweng!!!!

    I used to work in security at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto. While working there I met all of The Rolling Stones, Burton Cummings, John Belushi, Margot Kidder, Richard Harris, Jack Lemon, John Vernon, Ian Anderson, and many others.

    I spent a fun night drinking scotch with Barrymore Barlow, the drummer for Jethro Tull.

    A friend of mine and myself talked our way into going backstage and meeting Ben Folds Five at a music festival in Lawrence, KS. Ben Folds is the coolest guy ever. At another concert of his last year, he touched my hand from the stage.

    I've also shouted hello and waved to Carlos Santana, and met and gotten Billy Preston's autograph. I'm a huge Beatles fan.

    Bryan Adams, outside his house in London about 20 years ago, was a bit stalkerish looking back lol, ikept ringing his intercom till he came out, which he had no choice as he was doing a gig at Wembley that night, he was a bit peed off but still gave me a big hug :)

    Alec Baldwin - During the Filming of "Hunt for Red October" Which I ended up being in the movie.

    Robin Williams -Talked to him online while playing the "Battlefield 2" after I got sniped by him. That was a fun night.

    Lars Ulrich (Metallica) - The whole band was discovered in a San Francisco bar. As they were escaping from the bar from getting mobbed we spotted them and realized what was going on. Someone in our group hailed a cab and as he got in shook my hand and said "Thanks".

    Last month, I met -- and had dinner with -- veteran actor Hal Holbrook. He's been around for years, but most recently the grandfather in "Water for Elephants". He's a really nice guy, with 70 years of acting stories to share!

    You can see us here:

    Probably Roderick Little. The fact that I consider him "famous" probably says something about me. Oh, and Murray Straus (again, famous is subjective).
