Famous People

Im not sure if this has been brought up yet or not but have you ever met anyone famous?

I have met the band Flaw, Shinya and Toshiya from Dir en Grey, accidently bumped into Bruce Campbell at a comic convention, Brad and Tori from the real world
(They came into the Mcdonalds i work at(i think thats what their names were lol) Saw Nelly at a local bowling alley one night but didnt get a chance to say hi or anything (lot of security that night), and Dwayne Wade (he graduated from my Highschool a few years before i went there but he did come in once for a visit and just happend to walk into my gym class and shook hands with everyone)

How about you?

Not anyone I would consider famous, just some bands, a few comedians, and a few others.

I am however related to some famous people.

Pretty boss that you got to meet Shinya and Toshiya. I've only seem them in concert. And Bruce Campbell is a blunt, funny guy. My friend met him at NY Comic Con a few years back. He was doing a panel for something.

I've seen various celebrities, but I assume you mean met as in actually talk to? In that case only three. Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, and Josh Brolin who was a bro so fitting name.

EDIT: Actually spoke to more...Amy Sedaris, Shane Dawson, Queen Latifah, and Allen Hughes.

Ernie Hudson at a comic con before. Nice, relaxed guy. I also had Edward Furlong (John Connor from Terminator 2) begrudgingly shake my hand when I caught him outside smoking at a different comic con.

I almost met Marilyn Manson for a book singing, but the event closed before I could make it up to him in line. However, my dad was present, knew I was going to get screwed out of meeting him, and got the man to sign a book for me anyway (and personalize it, which was against the rules)!

On a less famous scale, I met both Mike and Jay from Red Letter Media (the guys behind the Plinkett Star Wars: Phantom Menace reviews). A friend of mine who was with me had their interest a bit because he told the RLM guys that he used to work with Rich Evans (the guy who plays the "other Plinkett" in the Half in the Bag series) at a grocery store.

Also, another friend of mine met the Nostalgia Critic while working at a Starbucks. The Critic lives just north of where I live, so I knew it was a matter of time before me or someone else I knew would run into that guy!

I think that about covers it for me!

Dir en Grey had a cd signing at one of their concerts thats how that one happend they spoke good english but with a very heavy accent of course they also were very nice.

lol when i told people about the Bruce thing they said you should have asked him to see his boom stick lol that would have been funny.

I take it back, I did meet Rick Perry once, but it was a walk by shake hands thing.

My Dad was the voice of Uncle Bulgaria in the hit UK BBC children's TV series 'The Wombles'.

I shook Bruce Springsteen's hand before. My sister had a drink with Bono, the lucky girl.

I've met Claudio Sanchez and Travis Stever of Coheed and Cambria. They're famous to me. Otherwise, nobody I knew of.

I've met Rise Against, All Shall Perish, and Between the Buried and Me at meet and greets. I've met Tucker Max at the premiere of his movie, and I've met Maddox at a book signing and again at Comic-Con. I met Wilmer Valderrama and Jeremy Piven at Comic-Con.

That's what I get for typing that at work at the tail end of break in a rush! I am going to leave the typo because it is funny.

I briefly met Bill Burr after a comedy show while I was in LA. He spent a good portion of his routine making fun of one of the people I was with (for good reason). Afterwards we chatted for a bit and I shook his hand.

Pretty nice guy for an angry comedian.

I've met Anne Rice, Adam 12 from She Wants Revenge a couple of times and Voltaire several times. I've never just accidentally bumped into a celebrity or anything before, though.

When I was a little kid I met George Takei. Also Margot Kidder went through my checkout line once when I was working at Target back in the day. As did James Horner, actually.

I've "seen" quite a few actors but never talked to them. Dennis Quaid, Michael Keaton, and Bill Pullman come to mind.

I saw Quinten Tarantino at the New Orleans airport last fall, but I noticed just as a I passed through security so I couldn't go say something to him. That was actually the second time I saw him in public. The first was in Reno, Nevada.

I also met The Rock, Kurt Angle, and many other WWE wrestlers at the Wrestlemania 2000 fanfest. Some of the more popular ones were just a quick autograph and a hello, but for guys like Mabel we were able to chat him up for a while.
