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.)

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

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.

AT-Man 01-29-2015 07:40 AM

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

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.

Cure 01-29-2015 03:41 PM

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.

CaliperCat 01-29-2015 05:04 PM

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
