He was at a small sushi restaurant and we just said hi. He nodded and smiled and we left him alone.

I've met Hank azaria on the street in NYC. I also met Horatio Sanz at a burger joint in NYC. I walked right by Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn a couple days ago on my way back to my apartment.

I wouldn't say that I've "met" many famous people, but I've either pumped gas or served coffee to a laundry list of them.

Off the top of my head:

Don Henley
Warren Beatty
Gary Busey
Jake Busey (actually "met" him, had a few drinks together)
Richard Dean Anderson
John Cusak
Neve Campbell
Pierce Brosnan
Kevin Nealon
Dana Carvey
Terrence Trent D'arby
Dick Van ***
Zach de la Rocha
Tony Danza
D.B Sweeney
Shirley McClaine

That's one of the "perks" of having a job in Malibu while going to college.

Met Reggie Jackson, had a nice talk with him about cars for about 10 minutes.

When I worked at Bell Atlantic Mobile, I fixed Linda Cohn's phone. I didn't get to chat it up with her other than talk to her about the problem, but she seemed pretty cool.

I almost met Carrie Underwood, I was 5 mins late though

The "most famous" person that I have ever shook hands with was a WW2 vet that won a Medal of Honor by diving onto a grenade to save his comrades. One hell of a sacrifice and somehow... he lived.

Penn Gillette (saw his show in Vegas, talked to him after the show)

I would love to meet him. Bullshit is one of my favourite shows.

lewis black in a bar after the ball drop in NYC in 2004. he was acted no different than you see on camera.

Not really. Met a few TV character actors when working in 7-11. Probably the most recognizable would be this guy who was a semi regular:

He played Colonel Harry Maybourne on Star Gate SG1 as well as other bit parts on other series. I think I've met one or two Canadian TV news casters as well.

I'll always remember him as the man who "collected" Data. Good character actor!

What was it like? How were they?

A few:

Ronnie Lott

Marcus Allen and Howie Long

Ronald Reagan (complete with Secret Service with earpiece looking the other way)

Henry Winkler

Those are the ones I have pictures of.

I have lived in Los Angeles for over 20 years. You cannot swing a stick without hitting someone famous (including parents of kids in my kids classes).

Cool you shook hands with the devil!

 

[Red Squirrel]

Oh, and I met Chuck Norris but he round house kicked my ass so bad I don't actually remember it. He was actually miles away when it happened.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Orson Scott Card.

 

[datalink7]

General Petraeus

Clint Eastwood drove past me and my family while we walked down a street in a small town in Utah in 1988. Sondra Locke was with him in the passenger seat. He appeared very unhappy. From the wikipedia articles, he split from that woman shortly after.

During that same time frame, saw Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, and a few other wrestlers of that period in a small deli stand at O'Hare Airport.

They must have looked comically large at that small stand lol.

That was my impression at the time, also. There were four small booths and each of them took up a whole seat. It was like a hole in the wall filled with incredibly large men.

I talked with Alexi Laiho for a few minutes back when his band didn't suck.

I met Chica from chicasplace.com in a bar once. She is smoking hot in person.
