Topic: What celebrities have you met?

Buck Williams, Kermit Washington and Walt Morey, who is an author that most people don't know about. Loved his books growing up though.

I had a close encounter of the Bindi Irwin kind last year. When my family and I were at Australia Zoo she walked straight past me! Highlight of that visit, believe me!

My grandparents met Pope John Paul II while traveling in Italy.

My cousin saw Justin Bieber. He mistakened him for some kid that looked like Justin Bieber, but it was the real deal.

@Corbie I wish I could meet miyamoto. I've met Tom Baker (the actor of the fourth Doctor in Doctor Who) and got a signed photo and I also got him to sign my copy of the DVD of City of death.

I met Luke Skywalker twice.

I met Mike McCarthy (Green Bay Packers head Coach) at a charity event.
Undertaker - pro wrestler (meet him during King of the Ring 1996 weekend and got his autograph)
Paul Bearer - former pro wrestling manager (meet him during King of the Ring 1996 weekend and got his autograph)
Harold from the Red Green Show (played by actor Patrick McKenna) at a Sports show
Kevin Harvick - Nascar Driver (He did an autograph secession at the Milwaukee Mile)
Buckshot Jones - former Nascar driver (He did an autograph secession at the Milwaukee Mile)
Kerry Earnhardt - former Nascar driver and brother of Dale Earnhardt Jr (He did an autograph secession at the Milwaukee Mile)
Jeff Hammond - Former Nascar Crew Chief turned Sports broadcaster for Fox (He did an autograph secession at the Milwaukee Mile)

Only a couple of local celebrities.

I've met Chewie. Thrice.

I thought he went to jail!

Disneyland Jail.

Uh, none? My sister met Julie Andrews at a book signing, but I think that's that only connection my family has ever had with any famous people.

I nominate this for post(s) of the day.

Now that I'm thinking about, I've met (and performed with) Orbert Davis multiple times. He's a (semi?) famous jazz trumpeter who performs annually at my old middle school's spring jazz concert.

Martin Sheen and Tony Randall way back in high school after seeing Randall's production of The Crucible that Sheen starred in; our English teacher knew Sheen years back. Both great, very personable guys.

Layne Staley and Alice in Chains right before they really exploded on to the scene. Awesome guys, and they complimented my friend on his Bauhaus t-shirt, which was even cooler.

Joe Satriani (Long Island native and one of the greatest guitarists there is); awesome guy, he signed my Surfing with the Alien cassette which is still in a box somewhere around here.

Conan (O'Brien, not the Barbarian), after a taping of his late night show (probably the second season he was doing it); my friend's aunt was one of the costume managers on the show (and on Letterman's show before that). Conan was polite and a nice guy, clearly wanted to be done for the day and go home but took a minute to say some hellos.

Jerry O'Connell (coincidentally, the same day we met Conan), on the street in NYC on his way to a Brodway show with his mom (i assume, could have been some other older relative or something).

I think that's it, but i might be forgetting a few right now.

/me is jealous. Twice.

At the release of Super Scribblenauts I met the creator of the game, Jeremy Slazka (I hope that's how you spell it), and the artistic director who gave me some pointers for my strive to enter the game industry. But I guess they're really not celebrities...

I've also met Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons), Brian Eno (singer), and Conan O'Brien (TV writer and talk show host)

Why didn't he kill him right there and then!? Great, he's missed the opportune time to take out the scourge of the modern world

I met Jesus... I mean, Jim Caviezel. That's probably the biggest name I can throw out without lying. But really, nothing beats meeting the Savior.

My dad took me to a Garth Brooks concert when I was little, and I got his autograph.
Ew, country music! My dad loves country, and back then I was sort of conditioned into liking it.
