Pfft. Big deal - I met myself one time, totally put the moves on, and ended up getting myself in bed that night.

And I was great.

Yeah, but you're like a Z-List celebrity at best.

You were the dad on "Small Wonder". So what? :roll:

As I said on the Paris Hilton thread, she once came to my neighborhood to film an episode of the Simple Life. While I never actually met her, I did meet a technician for the Simple Life who hated her.

...sigh...nothing happens here in TN...

...except the KKK. And John Henry, I think.

So one time back in 99 or so my friends and I were hanging out at the LCS when a guy that looked remarkably like Kevin Smith walked in. Now we being the nerds we are picked up on this immediately, but instead of making asses of ourselves dismissed this as just another fat guy with a beard. Besides, the woman with him was way too hot to be Kevin Smith's wife. At least thats what we all thought till we saw Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and watched the same woman get out of the van in a cat suit. Apparently a nice chunk of Dogma was filmed in Pittsburgh... I considered telling this story at the Kevin Smith Q&A last year but some *** got up and rambled on about Mews breaking a lamp to get Smith to check out his DVD.

Oh, and I totally froze when I met Bruce Campbell. I'm lucky I got my book signed and could walk away.

If anyone sees Dan Slott at the con this year walk up and ramble away. The guy is great and will talk about anything, even projects of his that I might have been the only person to read (Akham Asylum: Living Hell).

When I got my book signed by Bruce Campell, We had a couple good one liners back and forth, mainly making fun of the stupid people who asked stupid questions duriung the Q&A

I met Mark McKinney when he came into the store today(SNL, The Kids In The Hall, Studio 60..... this guy http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0571897/). Told him the first Saturday Night Live I ever saw when I was 6 had him doing his Jim Carrey impression while Jim Carrey impersonated Jimmy Stewart and it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. He laughed and thought it was awesome I remembered that.

Not the biggest star but I've seen almost all of his stuff and he's in some of my favourite things, and that sketch genuinely had a profound effect on my life(by the way, I didn't say any of this part to him) in terms of perception of acting and comedy(6 years old, right after Ace Ventura, The Mask and Batman Forever, Jim Carrey was my IDOL and that skit was unbelievable), so yeah, that was pretty awesome for me and I'm proud of not embarassing myself.:)

Once I saw Gary Coleman at the airport.

And I sold weed to Wesley Snipes' son.

Is that how his name is spelled?

I've always kind of assumed he's a total douchebag. He's always reminded me of this douche I knew growing up.
 
Re: Brushes with Famous people (or, making an *** of yourself in front of people you

I have met Jewel Staite (who is lovely), Charisma Carpenter (who was not lovely), Amber Benson, Anthony Stewart Head, Ernie Hudson, Terry Jones (Monty Python), several minor actors from Buffy/Angel like Groo, Holland Manners and Detective Kate, and Bishop from Aliens. Oh yeah, and James Marsters. Who is awesome.

Re: Brushes with Famous people (or, making an *** of yourself in front of people you

When I worked security at Nationwide Arena, I got to talk to;

Mick Jagger
Snoop Dogg
Prince
Faith Hill (I didn't know who she was until I was told later)
The Big Show
Ron Simmons
Stephanie McMahon (she suggested I try out at a Diva Event)


Comic guys I know (whom I embarrass myself around 99.9% of the time);

Dave Mack
Eric Canete
John Tsui
Geoff Johns
Jeff Smith
Francis Leinil Yu



Oh and I got to meet Bill Gates and Steve "Monkey man" Ballmer when I worked for MicroSoft. Every programming team got to go private events in Redmond. Gates was genuinely a nice guy, tiny as all hell, and a total geek. Ballmer... he's a dick and has a body odor issue, they're like the friggen odd couple.

I saw Hulk Hogan at Islands of Adventure a few years back. And he is as big as you think.

Does it count as meeting someone if Christopher Walken haunts your dreams? Cause then I've met Christopher Walken as well.
