Have you met any? If so who and where was it?

I met the awesome Bruce 'The Chin' Campbell along with Robert Englund (Freddy Kruger) at a Collectormania convention in the UK.  There were other famous people there too, George Takei, Ernie Hudson, Warwick Davis, to name a few, but I only really spoke to Bruce and Robert (had my picture taken with them), although Mr Hudson did say hi on his way to the toilet!

i met jim carrey! he grew up in my old town, on opening night of Bruce Almighty, he came to the little theater with his family, he signed autographs for so long, really nice guy never looses his energy!

Are these celebrities from movies and film, or celebrities like, really well-known people, such as bands, actors, presidents, etc.?


If the second choice, I've met the band Great Northern. Not a big band, but I love their music so I thought it was awesome that I got to meet them.

If the first choice, nobody except the actors and crew of independent, barely-any-budget films made in the city I live in now.

Um...I've met Danielle Harris and Ken Foree. Gunner Hansen too...briefly.
My sis met Scout Taylor Compton and that chick from Saw...and also the girl who played Fran Stalinaschovichmakoserovich (?) in Dodgeball.

For some reason I'm not interested in meeting "big" celebrities at all.

I lived in Malibu for about 9 months in the mid 90's and met a bunch of celebs there.  It was difficult not too.  Some of the locals were Martin Sheen who  walked to the post office to collect his mail daily, Cheech Marin who seemed to shop at the grocery store at the same time we did, Gary Busey who used the same optometrist. Sly Stalone worked out at the gym on the corner (saw him quite buffed and very short many times).   Cher lived in the neighborhood as well but you never saw her and her house was like a fortress with cameras that watched your every move.    

I go to Horror conventions and I've met some there including Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, P.J Soles, Tom Savini, Tony Todd, Erica Leehrson, Henry Rollins, Kelli Moroney and some others. I really want to go to the Halloween Convention in October in Pasadena(Celebrating the 30 year anniversary of its release) but the tickets are too much. It seems fun.

I've never met any actors or anything.  I have come across a lot of wrestlers, though.

At autograph signings, I've had my picture taken with:

The Rock
Mick Foley & Terry Funk
Bam Bam Bigelow...may he rest in peace.

Once years ago, I was at the airport and we ran into Ric Flair and The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase.  I think it was back in 92.  They were cool guys.

Some cool people there.

There's another convention taking place next month about an hour away from where I live that I plan on attending.

Notable people that will be there are - Adam Baldwin, Gunnar Hansen, Jeff Cohen (Chunk from The Goonies), and Jenette Goldstein.

I met Stone Cold Steve Austin back when he was still Stunning Steve Austin back in '91 or '92.  I had no idea who he was.  I was working at a t-shirt shop on the Boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ.  He came in with his wife.  She was shopping, he looked bored, so I struck up a conversation.  Tha night, me and one of my buddies go to the wrasslin' show at the convention center with a couple of bottle of Mad Dog stuffed down our pants.  About halfway through the card, the ring annoncer introduces Stunning Steve Austin.  The crowd starts booing him.  I was like "No, he's a nice guy.  I talked to him this afternoon.  He'd really a great guy!"

I got into an argument with Kevin Dillon over the legalization of drugs.

I sipped champagne with Tiny Tim on a sunset booze cruise off the coast of  Islamorada in the Florida Keys.  Nice guy, and really, really tall.  He played his ukulele and sang for us.

I saw John Goodman in a bar in New Orleans, but he was so drunk he could not even speak, and he would not stop leaning over the bar, constantly exposing what may have been the largest butt-crack known to man.  It was frightening.

Oddly, I have never met anyone famous while sober.

My parents are good friends with Joel Murray, so I've seen a lot of him.  Never met Bill, which would be awesome, but Joel's really funny--a dark sarcastic humor.

I met nick kroll from best week ever.

I met and talked for a bit with the band Tally Hall.

Thats about it.  I've seen a bunch, though, like clint eastwood, and Heath ledger and that dude from the O.C., but didn't talk or even say hello or anything.
