[anthonyk]

I dunno if it counts as "meeting", but I've been on tiny planes with Ethan Hawke and :rockwoot: Chuck Woolery recently.

[Trip]

Just at work?

I use to help Kane from the WWF shop at Best Buy. The men in black creater shopped there a lot too, but he was a douche.

Met Peyton Manning a few times too, but he was still in college back then.

[tommymac]

I work in an er in the ghetto so no one realy famous proilly just a bunch of aspiring rappers :lol:

Did meet the mayor and some city big wigs when cops get shot but thats about it.

Tom

[Particle Man]

Met Chuck Norris at a karate tournament back when I was in high school.

[azoomm]

Most recently, I didn't meet him.... But security stopped Tom Cruise from going into the restricted area at Leguna. Right next to me. :lol: I got in, he didn't.

[CasterTroy]

I met Marisa Tomei about 10 yrs ago....but had no idea who she was at the time. Her brother Adam was a good friend of my boss' son. We were down there at his son's place to just drop in on him while we were at a job meeting in Charlotte. She was there with her brother just hanging out.

I thought nothing of it...till my boss told me on the way home who it was.

Met John Schneider (Bo Duke) at a car show when I was 8 yrs old. He was at a meet and greet and I got to shake his hand and sit shotgun in the General Lee for a picture.

Met a few senators and shook Carter & Bush Sr's hand

Not star-struck or a fanboy of ANYONE so I've never been too excited over famous people. I figure they have to wipe their ass just like I do :idk:

[marko138]

Winner. Time to close the thread.

[tached1000rr]

I have met many in the world of professional sports but I will leave them off this list since they are so common to me. Here are some of the motorsport related ones:

Jason Britton
Ricky Gadsen
Greg Biffle
Kurt Busch
Richard Petty
Rick Hendricks

[Trip]

Richard Childress hit on my mom. That was pretty creepy to watch, but I was hoping he would pick her up and get us some hot pit passes.

[fasternyou929]

i checked jennifer love hewitt's id once at ft hood

Did you recognize who she was before you checked her ID?

[HurricaneHeather]

Only big name I ever met was John Meloncamp(sp?). I was waiting on him and had no idea who he was. He was trying to get me to guess, told me some of his songs and I never got it. When I got home(I was in HS) I told my dad the songs and he told me who it was. Looked him up and sure enough, that was him. :lol:

One of the former Houston Rockets was a regular at the golf course I used to work at....can't remember his name now. Also, the lead singer for the band Dynamite Hack(they did Boyz in the Hood) was a member there. He's still one of my FB friends.

[tommymac]

Wait till riceaholic posts up, a lot of bands have been through the bar he works at in fla. He was telling me about a bunch of them at the rally and was prety interesting since we like many of the same bands.

Tom

[Mrs. Colleen]

At the old school I worked at we had a TLC show host's daughter in my class.

Just a few months ago one of the Iron Chef's walked through my classroom. :lol: She was checking out the school for her son.

[defector]

Ran into (literally) Alice Cooper at a Suns game a few years ago.

[OneNotSoSickPsycho]

I lived in Vegas for most of my life so I've met a lot of people. Tons of boxers, Hulk Hogan and the fam (THEY ARE HUUUGE!!!...All of them...), Carrot Top, kissed Chuck Liddell, and I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of any others right now....

[z06boy]

Zakk is awesome. SDMF.

I've met a few atheletes and several politicians through work.

Same here plus I live in NASCAR land and see drivers around quite a bit...haven't see Danica Patrick yet :lol: but she was in town the other day doing some testing.

[Gas Man]

[Particle Man]

Winner. Time to close the thread.

:lol:

I was a stupid kid back then and didn't understand the worth of the occasion :lol:

[HurricaneHeather]

Oh, I met Ann Richards once when she was running for Govenor. I was like 8.

I had just told my mom that I wanted to be the govenor of Texas someday, so my mom told Ann Richards that. :lol:

She got right down next to me and said, "you can be anything you want to be, honey." :D

Thats awesome! I loved her.

[lauralynne]

I served popcorn/drinks to Rob Lowe and Rob Reiner. I asked Rob Lowe if he knew he looked like Rob Lowe...he said "I hope so or my driver's license would be invalid" so I demanded to see his ID...yup. It was Rob Lowe. Worst moment in my 16 year old life.
My daughter went to school and played soccer with the daughter of Chris DeGarmo (who I only knew as "Riley's dad" until one of my friends FLIPPED OUT when she saw him...)

[neebelung]

While working? None. :lol:

But I've stumbled across (or into, in the case of Christopher Walken) a few here and there. :lol:

[neebelung]

I got in, he didn't.

YOU WIN!!!! :bowdown:

Giant?:lol:

[Speedracer42]

I met Travis Pastrana and Malcom McCassey after a freestyle event at dinner. TP invited me to sit and chat for a bit then we snapped some pics. Super cool dude.

[Kaneman]

I used to be buds with Nick Stahl (Terminator 3, Man Without a Face, Disturbing Behavior, Sin City.) He is such a normal guy it blows my mind. The guy still gets his clothes at Thrift Town and drives a busted Explorer, lol. It was always weird to be out with him and have people recognize him and freak out, he was really shy back then.

Ahh well since you mention him, rickey gadson personally tuned the pciii in my 954. Tuned my boy's k5 too

[Dave]

Did you recognize who she was before you checked her ID?

Not in the least. She was just some hot chick until my boy ran down fom the temp pass checkpoint and told us

[Sixxxxer]

I was lined up next to Rickey Gadson on the Track...My Buddy was like Thats who tuned my bike...and I was like oh ok...Then RIckey Cracked off like a 9 Second Pass...Fucking Crazy To watch.

Other than that...I "Saw" Will Smith In Times Square as he was walking into TRL back when that show was still on.

Keith Jones (For you Hockey Fans out there) Came into my Wawa one night with his two daughters...and I rang him up.

And Mike Quick (For your Football Fans out there) also came into my wawa with like 8 of his friends and I made his sandwich for him.

Other than that...Noone really.

[2up]

Before they were "famous" Chester Bennington (he's from AZ and his band used to open for the band I for whom I was the booking agent) Mike Mangini (worlds fastest drummer - he was the drummer for my ex-fiances band) Jane Mangini (Trans-Siberian Orchestra - she was married to Mike at the time and we were all friends.) One time I was at a concert with Cori and saw the opening band kind of hanging out after their set so I thought I'd take a pic even though I didn't know who they were, and the singer asked if I'd like to take a picture WITH him. Turned out to be the singer for Hinder... :rolleyes:

And if it counts that my work used to be the music industry then; Pantera, Disturbed, Queensryche, Sammy Hagar, Third Eye Blind, Charlie Daniels, Dishwalla, Lords of Acid, Leann Womack, John Fogerty, Fuel, all of Linkin Park, Sevendust, Sepultura, Nothingface, Hoobastank, Rush, Slipknot, Dashboard Confessional, and a bunch of others I can't remember....

[Hydrant]

Michael Jordan at Mid Ohio

Scott Steiner eating at McDonalds in the Atlanta Airport

Pete Rose (Douchebag), Johnny Bench, and a bunch of other Reds players.

Wally Sczerbiak (NBA player that went to Miami University)
Ben Roethlisberger (went to Miami University)
Hulk Hogan (about 20 years ago at Disney World)

[ericr]

Never met anyone while working but was having lunch one Sunday at the Quality Inn in town (awesome buffet back then) and Ed Begley Jr. was sitting at the next table. I recognized him and my dad got up and went over to see if I was right :lol: He was real cool about it, signed a napkin for my dad, he was visiting family in the area.

And for you country music lovers, I went to school with Travis Tritt . I was sitting in Miss Kitty's, drinking a beer with him before the show he announced his first recording contract and single "Country club". They shot that video at Miss Kitty's. Talked to Danny Shirley of Confederate Railroad back then too before they got famous.

[jermey]

A friend of mine use to be engaged to Jason DiSalvo, so I've hung out with him a few times. Damn, he's short. He makes a pitbike look like a full sized dirtbike :lol


I met several last year during Bike Week in Daytona when I worked at the Ducati dealership there. I met Carey Hart, Jesse Rooke, Roland Sands, Arlen Ness, Kevin Ness, Corey Ness, Erik Buell, Richie Morris, and several others. :rockwoot:

[anthonyk]

I guess I went to high school with Paul Rudd. Didn't really count those years as work (more like hell), so I forgot about that one. I've got the permanent hots for his sister. She just keeps getting better looking...

[marko138]

I looked up this Mike Mangini character. Impressive. I wasn't familiar with his work. I like the way he sets up his kit.

[2up]

He's pretty much a musician's musician I think. He's done a good deal of tourning and studio work but mostly he's just a crazy fast, and GOOD drummer. Watching him in person is sick. Its like he's on fast forward but nothing else is. :lol:

Vanilla Ice would have to be a nice guy, or people would punch him in the face for being Vanilla Ice.

[marko138]

Where the hell are all you guys meeting Vanilla Ice and WHY? This guy hasn't been relevant in 20 years. And even then his relevance was questionable. :lol:

Being a touring Jazz bassist for 15 years, I met a lot of famous folks on the road. Probably my favorite experience I can recall, however, was having breakfast with Dizzy Gillespie.

[Apoc]

Joey Ramone in edmonton, and a few wwe wrestlers in moncton when I was bouncing.

"How do you say Lancaster right?" Are you fucking serious?

And my question to you would be: Is she a slut or a bitch? She's a slut if she fucked you, a bitch if she didn't. :lol:

Oh, and haven't really met anyone famous. Sat across from the Undertaker at an airport while my flight was delayed but didn't know who he was till someone told me later.

I've known the parents of Quintin Mikell, who plays for the Eagles, from before Q was even born.

Nobody really stands out cause I don't really care about celebrities. :shrug:

[Antwanny]

Reggie Jackson
Jason Britton
Xavier Nady (baseball player) Had christmas dinner with him and his dad when i was young.
Few other nobody baseball players.

She didn't fuck me but she's a slut. For sure. And her handlers are fucking dick lickers....a lot like her.

[Kaneman]

She didn't fuck me but she's a slut. For sure. And her handlers are fucking dick lickers....a lot like her.

Hey, I never met the chic so what do I know...but I think Paris is a winner and the real dick lickers are the ones that showed up to meet her.

[marko138]

Hey, I never met the chic so what do I know...but I think Paris is a winner and the real dick lickers are the ones that showed up to meet her.
Oh man, right you are. The crowd that day was insane. Real dick lickers for sure. Now me, I got paid to be there...but I still went under protest.

[Kaneman]

Oh man, right you are. The crowd that day was insane. Real dick lickers for sure. Now me, I got paid to be there...but I still went under protest.

Getting paid to be there makes you a winner as well, lol. Yea, there was a shot toward the end of your vid that showed the crowd. Paris Hilton, really? Give me a fuckin' break.

[HurricaneHeather]

Why on earth hasn't someone taught that girl to talk like an adult? Seriously, I want to smack her and tell her she is no longer 14 and to stop acting like it.

[Kaneman]

Why on earth hasn't someone taught that girl to talk like an adult? Seriously, I want to smack her and tell her she is no longer 14 and to stop acting like it.

Why? She's doing just fine acting the way she acts. If I were her, I wouldn't change a thing.

[CasterTroy]

Why on earth hasn't someone taught that girl to talk like an adult? Seriously, I want to smack her and tell her she is no longer 14 and to stop acting like it.

Because they don't want to be kicked off the money train

[Papa_Complex]

Can't say that I've MET many famous people but when I worked at Toronto Airport we had everyone from John Candy to Yellowman come through.

I did get to meet John Neville ("The Well Manicured Man" from X-Files, a well-known Shakespearean actor) when he was a visiting prof here. Seemed like a really nice guy.

[HurricaneHeather]

Why? She's doing just fine acting the way she acts. If I were her, I wouldn't change a thing.

Because it irritates me, that's why! :lol:

[Rider]

If you guys are talking away from work, when I was a kid(late 70's early 80's), I got to spend time in the LA Dodgers dugout and club house(dressing room), so I met lots of pro baseball players and coaches. I even got to meet the announcer for the Dodgers, Vin Scully.

Others:
Clee Montgomery of the LA Raiders.
Christopher Nance, an LA area weather man.
David Lee Roth at his house. He told me to get the fuck off his lawn. :idk:
Toryn Green of Fuel.
Elizabeth Montgomery of Bewitched at Universal Studios
Linda Carter, Wonder Woman
Tom Leykis - Radio personality
Charlton Heston - My aunt owned a shooting range that he would frequent.

That's about all I can remember. I went to the same jr high as Vince Neil and he lived 2 blocks from me, and one of my GF's lived next door to Tommy Lee but I never met them in person. By the time I knew who they were (1982) they obviously were not living at home with mom and dad anymore.

[Kaneman]
