Natile Portman
William Shatner
Tom Brokaw
Lexa Doig
Leonard Nimoy
Bill Clinton

I'll think of more....

Nicholas Brendon (Xander from Buffy) and Beverly Mitchel (Lucy from 7th Heaven) came to our school one year for a summer program when we were stationed in Italy, it was for Extreme Summer, a get out and play type thing. the questions asked were doozies, "is Willow really gay?" and the like. I asked Beverly, "are u anything like you character?" i hope she appriciated the non-goofy drama geeky question.
My grandparents were siting in the Tulsa airport terminal. They were talking with a guy who looked familar. Later they watch the news and found out that Jamie Farr (Klinger from M*A*S*H) had been talkling to them.

I hate you so much, dude.

*KROW* · 12-27-2004, 09:28 PM

So far, the only famous people I've met were pro wrestlers.

-- Angel (from ECW)
-- The Bushwhackers
-- The Big Bossman
-- Bob Backlund
-- Dustin Rhodes
-- Lex Luger
-- Macho Man
-- Marc Mero and Sable
-- Roddy Piper
-- Steve Corino
-- Tommy Dreamer
-- Maven
-- Sandman
-- Shawn Michaels
-- Bill Alphonso - He's a weird guy. Kept calling me, "Daddy." But then he calls everyone that.

**Jo Dawn** · 12-27-2004, 10:16 PM

You met Shawn Michaels. You lucky....

..I really need to think of anyone famous that I've met. Which'll be, about, a few, at most.

*KROW* · 12-27-2004, 10:22 PM

Yeah, Shawn's a really great guy. I talked to him at an autograph signing and we had a good chat about the business and life in general. Then in June I saw him wrestle live and after the match he walked up the ramp and clapped my hands. I congratulated him on it and he said, "Thanks, brother. God bless you."

Great guy.

Peanut · 12-27-2004, 11:03 PM

Not if I beat you to it.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-28-2004, 05:32 AM

I've never met anybody famous. If I ever did, I'd probably clam up and not know what tto say in case I make an ass of myself.

Naminé · 12-28-2004, 05:43 AM

Not sure if they're actually famous, probably only popular in the VA world. I've met Vic Mignona and Travis Willingham.... over AIM (and not fake SNs) -- English dub voice actors for Edward Elric and Roy Mustang of Fullmetal Alchemist.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-28-2004, 05:49 AM

I did talk to Chris Patton over the phone once. He does various voice work for anime mostly. He called on my friend's phone and was acting all buddy-buddy while I was like "who the **** is this?". Not out loud, but when I eventually did admit that I didn't know who he was he started sobbing and handed the phone off to my friend, who informed me that I'd been duped. But yeah, I guess that's the best I've done.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-28-2004, 10:32 AM

I had a long email conversation with Charles Martinet once. Working on getting one with David Wise.

*Brodie* · 12-28-2004, 01:42 PM

Peanut met Rosey Palms one time.

A lot actually.

HA!

I'm priceless.
