this year Fan Expo in Regina is happening again and i've got my ticket! can't wait to see who all I'll meet this year 8)

That's very cool. I met a local news TV weather reporter once. He was at Toys R Us, so that was neat.

Supposedly I met Reba McEntire when I was a child. I don't remember that.

Not many and prob not anyone super big.

As a baby I met Shari Lewis (the Lamb Chop puppet/kids show lady), not that I remember at all. lol

Jason and Grant from Syfy's Ghost Hunters when they did a meet and greet the day before they were to do a live Halloween show not terribly far from me. (Then my friend and I casually stuck around for a little while and happened to see a lot of the other people plus with Josh Gates.)

Yes.......

I met at Ventura Comic Con last year

Karan Ashley 2nd MMPR yellow Ranger
Steve Cardenas 2nd Red MMPR Ranger
Jason Narvy who played Skull on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

The OT Turtles voice actors.
Brent Spiner
First and second gen M.M.P.R's
Judith Hoag
Scott Shaw!
Neil Ross
Greg Berger
John Kassir
Nick Castle (he was the first Michael Myers)
Kevin Eastman
TEAM FOURSTAR.

Missed...Peter Cullen and Alan Oppenheimer. Both together at the same freaking convention. P**sed me off that I missed those two.

And other folks that I can't bring to mind. *I've been to lots of conventions.*

Not sure where to start... a LOT of people, both quite famous and not quite so famous. The most famous out of the bunch? Hmm... Carrie Fisher, Sean Astin, Hilary Swank, Lance Henrikson, and Leonard Nimoy.

I used to live in Nashville, so I met / ran into a lot of Country Music stars and other musicians. Some before they got famous. Accidentally bumped into Cher once in a famous Honky Tonk. I thought her bodyguard was gonna stoke out.

Also have spent a lot of time in Vegas and I almost always meet some celebrity while there.

Mostly bands. I met Flogging Molly on my 28th birthday. I met most of Killswitch Engage and we played guitar hero together at the Best Buy next to the venue. I also met the band's Nonpoint, Jackyl, The Veer Union and Jpop star Salia. As for non musical I met Michael Moore, Robert Axelrod ( voice of Lord Zedd and Finster from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and author Max Brooks. Robert Axelrod said I had a great voice for voice acting :D he was holding a seminar that day and I got to read a script and he gave me pointers. Too bad I don't live in California.

Karl Urban
Temuera Morrison
Katee Sackoff
Johnny Knoxville
Steve-O
Greg Cipes
Paddy Considine
Giancarlo Esposito

Well, I saw The Wiggles when I was younger. Technically, I didn't really meet them up close.

Currently been to three of their concerts. I remember the first one I've been to had Greg before he left because of his illness.

Keno Don Rosa, who is an American Donald Duck artist. Also some obscure bands, Darkspace being the biggest one I think.

As I said in this thread, I met Miss America 1999 Nicole Johnson.

A long time after I posted in that thread, I met one of the contestants from season 10 of the TV show Food Network Star.

I had famous cartoonist as my teacher, I even got his autograph :tcool: Oh and these BMX bikers came to my school and I asked for their autograph too. Everyone wanted a copy of it lol.

Mostly wrestlers and hockey players. Had some family friends who worked the ACC and Skydome when I was a teenager, so I'd get into everything and then go backstage/to the locker room afterwards.

I also know Jackie Richardson very well. She's been my neighbor for years and I've known her since I was like...9. She's done a lot of stuff, mostly guest spots and things of that sort, because she focuses a lot on musicals. If anyone recognized her from TV/film it'd probably be as Mr. T's aunt in the show T and T. Anyways, that's how I met Mr. T.

I'm jelly. I've only ever met Artie Lange outside of a pizza joint in Hoboken stuffing his face and stupid Julia Roberts at camp with her dumb mouth.

Does Brad Keselowski count?

This was back in 2011, I think, the year before he won a Sprint Cup championship. He'd won the Nationwide Series championship the year before, and since this was back before he got famous enough to have much for merchandise, I'd made a shirt with iron on's from Hobby Lobby. He was talking to the fan a couple of spaces in front of me when he caught sight of it, and he asked me if I'd made it. I don't know who was more excited, him or me, because he looked like he might start orbiting the moon! So not only did I get my hat signed, but I also got a high five from one of my favorite drivers. :3

rofl! guess i didn't look hard enough! funny how doing a search for this kind of topic yielded no results? :ohwell:

Saw Steve and Jo from Blue's Clues when I was five.
I wanna meat Stan Lee!

yeah me to

I've met many, but the most memorable, to me, is KRS-One.

And, one of my favorite producer, Pete Rock.

Wow! I'm pretty jealous, especially of anyone who has gotten to meet Kevin Eastman, I really hope I get that opportunity one day.

I've mostly met F1 drivers, Jenson Button, Mark Webber, Nico Rosberg and a few others. I was also lucky enough to meet Jay K from Jamiroquai at a race day. Oh and last year Horny Mike from Counting Cars came into where I work (which was surreal, I'm in deep, rural, England!) that was great, he was super nice and I love his art.

Ryan Hurst right after he his character gt killed off Sons

That is a great show!
I've only watched season 1 on Netflix.

I met Armin Shimerman (Quark from Star Trek Deep Space Nine) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troy from ST: Next Generation)

My sister met John de Lancie (Q from Next Generation) and Jim Carrie. Oddly though, it's mostly been Star Trek folks we bump into.


Although looking through the Star Trek database, one person of TMNT fame had roles on some of the shows. James Avery placed the Klingon General K' Vagh. I thought that was kind of cool to mention ;)

I guess I'm weird, but I've never had much desire to meet Eastman or Laird. Like, I love comics, but there's really only a couple creators I'd want to meet. I don't feel like we'd have much to talk about. With those two I feel like it'd be, "Hi, thanks for the Turtles, sign this please." I mean, they must get asked the EXACT same questions ALL the time. For 30 years. Like sometimes, when I'm working intermission at a show, and I'm near one of the "stars" and they're right next to me doing theirs, someone will ask them, like, the most banal and obvious questions. And they'll be polite in answering, of course, but sometimes, after the fan walks away, the guy will kinda wink at me or smirk, and be like, "Yeah, THAT one NEVER gets old..." That's why when I met Kevin Nash, everyone else was trying to ask him about Shawn Michaels or Scott Hall, and I'm like, "So HOW much did you get paid for playing Super-Shredder?" Just to be different.

Not sure at all what I'd talk to Kevin and Pete about. I mean, I love TMNT, but I've heard the stories and I've heard them tell those stories. All I think I'd ask is, "Be honest. You were high as balls, weren't you?" :lol: And even that one... kinda already know the answer, or at least I'm pretty sure. :lol:

^^OOOH What did he say? About Super Shredder?
I've just met a bunch of wrestlers and some actors at conventions. Simon Dean is freaking hilarious.

That's weird, I just read an article asking for "famous person stories" and now this. Anyway, I've never, ever, ever met anybody of noteriety. Like not even local-famous, like a newscaster. I'm sitting here wondering how in the hell all of these people have these encounters, even in places where they can't just walk out the door and trip over someone.

Closest I've ever come was having Tristan Jones tell me he was disappointed that he wouldn't have the chance to meet me.

I am quite certain there are others, not counting those I only saw at a distance or bumped shoulders with at conventions. Just can't remember at the moment.[/QUOTE]

It's a lot. :lol: He must have had the biggest shark lawyer Turner's money could buy in 1991, because nobody in all three of those movies has pocketed as much as he has. And he had like three minutes of screen time and was on-set for two days. BUT, he gets a huge chunk of the DVDs. It's an ungodly sum. He was in hysterics just telling me the story. I mostly wanted to talk about movies, since everyone talks about wrestling with him. I thought he'd made a few grand because it was a small part, but either he had a terrific agent OR he renegotiated at some point since, because he is set for life JUST off of his Super-Shredder money.

He's a fun guy to be around. Like all life is a joke and he's the only one in on it. I wish I got to work with him more than once or twice a year at best. Just because he's such a Regular Guy for someone who's won so F'n hard at life. I've met people half as famous who were huge dicks for no reason. This guy makes ten grand walking to the mailbox, and he's sitting around BSing with job guys about the Red Wings. If I ever do "make it", that's the guy I wanna be.

And yeah, I met Simon Dean a couple times and he's a cool cat. I got a picture somewhere with him and Stevie and Meanie. Which is weird, because now I see Meanie ALL the time. Turns out he was buddies with my cousin in high school. Small world.

Powder, what were Canibus (one of my favourite rappers) & Ernie Hudson like?

Ernie was very cool, super friendly. I didn't get to have too much of a chat with him as it was a brief signing/photograph thing at NYCC, but yeah, he couldn't have been more warm. All smiles.

Bis is freakin' awesome. Just what you'd expect of him if you're intimately familiar with his music. What he talks about on tracks is what he talks about in real life. We had a long conversation about all kinds of crazy sh*t pertaining the state of the world, hip-hop, etc. He was maaaad cool. He's been really supportive of my groups music & is helping us out with some business too, as we're set to have new albums on the same label this year, as well as a collaborative effort I'm getting to do some art/beats for. His music was very influential to me coming up so it was really awesome to not only get to work with him but chill with him & learn that he's an all around great dude. I've only hung out with him once so far but he's a close friend of my close friend, so pairing that with our musical history I'm confident in saying he's the genuine article. There are plenty of horror stories where fans meet artists & they turn out to be dicks, so it's always great when that's not the case (Thankfully, I've actually never had that problem). :trazz:

You never know with people. You hear about how some guys are awful, and they turn out to be awesome, and guys you'd never expect turn out to be douchebags. I guess a lot of it depends on the day. Everybody's got their Ups and Downs.

Dave Mustaine has a reputation for being a jagoff, and that reputation is well-earned and well-deserved. He's way up at the top of my "Celebrities I'd Love To Knock The F*ck Out" list.

This is the shortest Leo656 post-er, blog entry I've read.

Powder dude that is awesome. Had 2000 B.C. and Rip The Jacker on loop during art school. He seems like he could potentially be volatile or unapproachable so it's great to hear he's totally not.
Also, you should take the instrumental of Shell Shocked and put your own rhymes over it. Yes. We could have a good version of that track exclusive to the Drome :tgrin:

Missed my first post on Page 1, skip.

Looks like you're right! I have to say, I really enjoy your long posts! So don't take it as an insult.

Sometimes I just got a lot to say. :lol:

Since I've become aware that more people use their phone for interwebs nowadays I've been trying to be more careful. Can't help it sometimes though. :lol:

The only famous person I can think of is Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragonball) during a rare U.S. visit to New York back in...god...somewhere back in 2001 or 2002? I remember still being a teenager so it had to have been in the early 2000's when DBZ was still a huge fad in the U.S. And even then I didn't get to talk to him, just see him on stage in person.

Same for Chris Sabat (voice actor of Vegeta, Piccolo, etc. in dubbed Dragonball Z) who was there at the time.

Other than that can't think of anyone else. Never met any of the TMNT VA's or artists in person sadly, maybe one day I will.
