Who famous have you met.

[thraashman]

OK fellow ATers have you ever met anyone famous. If so who, and how did you react. Were you all idiotic and gaga over them, or did you play it cool, or did you just not care enough to do anything.

As for me, I've met 2 "famous" people. First I've met Jeff Arnold (creator of WebMD). I grew up two doors down from him and his parents still live there. I've seen him on occasion when he visits. He drives a nice Porsche Boxster too.
I've also met Jeff Foxworthy. He apparently lives very close to where I work and has been in there a few times. I treat him just like any other customer though. The first time I didn't even realize it was him until I read the name on the credit card.

Anyone met any peopel of fame.

I met and had a nice 5 minute conversation with LOU FERRIGNO! I've also met a couple New Orleans Saints players when they used to have training camp in my town. no current players though. My dad is a professional fisherman, and he has been fishing with many pro atheletes, football, basketball, and baseball players, a few of them I've met.

Well i once saw two middle-ages members of a rock band pick up a couple of shemales in downtown Toronto. I think they were from a band call Rush. Another guy who was with me said they're pretty big, but i've never heard of em. Then again, i'm not into that stuff.

 

[trulfe]

Jackie Chan(autographed his book for me after waiting in line. Really cool), Vince Carter(after Niagra Falls, went up to Toronto and was at a mall there. He walked in the music store, didn't talk to him but I saw a crowd around him.) The Rock & Stone Cold Steve Austin(while buying tickets @ Georgia Dome). Lex Luger(he was a total jerk and actually told me to f*ck off when I asked for an autograph.) Mark Price(came into a dry cleaners.). John Rocker(he was eating dinner at P.F. Chang's). John Smoltz(Gas station, funny thing was John Smoltz was buying a BigGame lottery ticket.) Method Man & some wu-tang guys(at Wu-wear store in Atlanta). Hyori & 2 other members from Finkl. They had a concert here and there was an after-party. Me & some friends tried to get Hyori drunk, they all drank a lot! That's all I can think of.

I know Sky Dayton, founder of Earthlink. He graduated from my school back in like '86 or something.

My dad's cousin is Richard Page. Any 80's music fans (not me) might have heard of him and his band, Mr. Mister.
I go to his house sometimes.

I met David Wu once (my representative in Congress)

I shook James Bovard's hand once. (if that counts as famous. Heck, he writes for Playboy!)

 

[Rallispec]

I was an extra in the movie Forces Of Nature... (yeah i know it sucked... sorry)
So i met both Sandra Bullock (she's really hot in real life) and Ben Affleck (he is sooo funny.. didnt stop making jokes the entire day)

it was really cool, i had a great time. For those of you wondering, i'm in the scene where they are at the Rent a car place, when they meet that Gil dude. I just walk around aimlessly in the backround.. total time on screne is only like 2 seconds. Still really cool. So i guess i could almost say I'm famous... so now you can say you've met (or at least talked to) me!!!! woohoo.. Yay Me!

Also ran into "Jackie" from that 70's Show, (she was super hot btw) also ran into that red hair guy that came out in the Movie Jaded, I think he was also staring at NYPD blue, i think his first name is David ______
