If you could hang hang out with someone famous for one day

...who would it be? And why?

And before every guy says Scarlett Johansson or Sofia Vergara, by "hanging out" I mean talking to that person at a café or while playing golf or something. Then you'll never see them again. No, sex isn't included. And I make this "rule" in order ot make your choice harder

I'd say Hugh Laurie. I really liked his Black Adder and House work and he seems like a very interesting individual to talk to. Second would be Peter Laird. I could see myself talking about the Turtles with him all day even if we'd disagree on many matters.

3rd would probably be James Rolfe, the Angry Video game Nerd. Just seems like a cool guy and would love to talk about games with him.

Off the top of my head, Avril Lavigne and George Hook. They would seem to be the most interesting people to talk to for me anyway.

Temple Grandin, who I've only sat close to and got a book signed by. It would be cool to just have lunch with her.

Or Sophie Campbell . She's not in the glamor zone of "famous", but she's broken enough molds to qualify in my book. I'll probably have an easier time making discussions with her than Grandin, though.

Michael York has been a dream hangout since I was seven, but that won't be likely for another year or two. His health hasn't been fantastic lately.

That's tough, I'm at a point where I really couldn't care less about famous people; so few interest or impress me these days.

In terms of Turtles people, Cam Clarke might be fun to meet, esp as for a bonus he is also the voice of one of my WoW characters. And despite how the films turned out, Pete Ploszek seemed to actually 'get' Leo which I appricated, so it might also be cool to meet someone who'd embodied him for awhile.

Non-Turtles... Off the top of my head, Neil deGrasse Tyson would probably be another one that would be fun to meet.

It's been my dream to meet Michael J. Fox, who's been my idol since I was like 15!!! Spending a day with him would be so much fun, and I wouldn't even make a big deal about his medical woes. Would kinda suck though if he was incapable of signing anything.

You make it sound like you'd be going out of your way to do that.

For a second there I misread that as MEGAN Fox... and I was like, "C'mon dude...."

Anyway, she's been dead for a while now, but I would have loved to meet Shirley Walker during a normal day of scoring the Batman cartoon, and just watch her do her thing: guide protégés along, interact with them to extract their best effort, etc.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind meeting her around the time she was on that one episode of Two and a Half Men.

A whole day? Noone. Maybe a lunch with a full cast of a show or a movie I like so I can hear all the banter and fun behind the scenes stories. But a whole day, one on one? Naw. At the end of the day they're still strangers and it be awkward. I know the celeb wouod be teying their best to be nice, which is awkward in itself, or worse they could be an ass and ruin your expectations. Never meet your heroes and all that.

It's way too hard to just pick one, so I'll be that guy & put up a list.

Bob Saget
Bill Murray
Jackie Chan
Artie Lange
Gilbert Gottfried
Norm Macdonald
James Rolfe
Mike Matei
Snoop Dogg
Action Bronson
Ciro Nieli
Donald Trump

& that's barely scratching the surface of people I'd love to kick it with. It depends partially on what we could get up to, also. Like, could I go into a studio & collaborate with musicians? Can I get a TMNT comics artist to show me their notebooks, a few tips/tricks? etc.

If language barriers weren't an issue:

Shigeru Miyamoto
Any Gaki No Tsukai cast member
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

This Ariel Winter?

She's only 18 years old, and was born in 1998.

Pablo Hidalgo or Dave Filoni. We could pour over Star Wars reference books together.

Spoiler:
I'd also like to "hang out" with Mary Elizabeth Winstead
