My Wife was friends with Will Palin, Michael Palin's son, in college.

I met (Will) three years ago. He was alright.

No one knows him.

kissing cousins?

 

[DivideBYZero]

I also met Henry Winkler on a flight from LV to LA.

I was walking down the isle to my seat, and I thought, 'I recognise that guy', but I must have been staring cause as I got closer to his seat, he says, 'Hello.' to me first. Cheers for the curve ball, famous guy. So I'm like, sh!t who is he? Say something smart, he's famous.

So I say 'I liked your movie "Sure Thing"'. He said, 'Thanks, that was a while ago'.

So I offended the Fonz, basically.

I see celebs all the time and they are always filming some crap in Tribeca near where I work. I don't know anyone famous but I've seen DeNiro, Nathan Lane, Gary Sinise, Harvey Keitel, Scott Wolf, and Ed Burns at various times. Also, I don't bother these people when I see them, I just go about my business.

I don't know anybody who's nationally famous - no movie stars or anything - but I do know a few locals. I had a cousin who used to play proffesional baseball; first for the St. Louis Cardinals, then for a few other teams. Now I think he coaches for the Phillies, but I'm not sure. Haven't heard from him in years. Everybody else in St. Louis knows about him though; I swear every time I used to walk into a new class in grade- middle- or High-school, if it was a male teacher, they'd look at the list of students, see my name, and say "Hey...is your cousin the pitcher who used to play for the Cards?"

The other is my dad's cousin (which would make him what? my second cousin I guess?) who was the head vet at the St. Louis zoo for years. He's on the board of directors there now.

I was roommates with John Tait, Right Tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. So, I could say he's the most famous person that I really DO know.

My Dad knows Donny Osmond, of all people, pretty well.

-Blessid Union of Souls (I ran a concert for them at my college, partied like a rock star after, got pwned at the Gym trying to work out with their guitar player the next day)

-Grew up near Eminem, have run in to him here and there, don't really "know" him though

I don't really know anyone famous.

Tom Hulce came to my parents garage sale in Eugene, Oregon.
He's the guy who played Amadeus and was in Parenthood.

I went to the same HS as Jerry Garcia's daughter but I think she graduated before me.

My dad was buddies with and played guitar with Joe Walsh before The James Gang and the Eagles.

I met Ken Kesey and Timothy Leary at the University of Oregon.

I met Robert Redford once. Actually, I'm in the movie The Candidate with him.
In the scene where he's walking through the flea market, my dad is the long haired guy carrying me at about 6 months old. Robert Redford says "cute baby" to him.
We lived in Oakland at the time and that scene was shot at the Alameda Fairgrounds.

 

[amcdonald]

Seems like a lot of people are posting people they've just met, not people they know...
Anyway, I just know people in bands from jacksonville.

 

[Nyical]

Met Tom Selleck a bunch of times when they were still filming Magnum P.I.

Sat next to Vincent Ventresca while on a plane flight to Portland Oregon,talked for awhile. (Guy froms Sci-Fi's Invisible Man)
