I used to do event security, so I have met a few. Alice Cooper is incredibly nice, and a fine gentleman. After the guys in Weezer got a preshow massage, they said they had time left, so I could grab one too. Sadly, I was not able to, you know, since I was working. Huey Lewis was just a dick. There are more,but the ones that did not act all better than everyone were great. Even Billy Idol was cool

Janet Hubert, Michael Bisping, Jim Norton, Andy Pettite, Stephen A. Smith, Danica Patrick, Melky Cabrera, Kevin Powell (at one of my exes school - got a signed book from him), Keith Sweat, Tim Tebow, Rihanna, Keith David (at one of my exes school reunions), Mone Divine (porn star - tiny as hell - on the phone outside so I didn't bother her) and some I've forgot. I missed out on Tracy Morgan who supposedly was outside my previous job sitting on the top of his car messing around lol

Some I've had short conversations with, and some I've just been in their general vicinity.

A couple of friends and I were at a park playing baseball years ago and we were looking outside the gate and there were 3 crossdressers on the sidewalk and we were wondering what was going on. One of them turned around and asked if we've never seen (I forget the terms he used) before. Anyway, it was John Leguizamo, Patrick Swayze, and Wesley Snipes. They were filming "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" at the warehouse across the street.

Spike Milligan? A few local (Oz) type ones, just a nod, have seen a couple in civvy street, no contact at all. My son played frisbee with Jack Black outside a concert once.The last Pirates movie, Aquaman and Scooby Doo all had filming up the road from me but nothing of interest.

Very few but my mother's, brother's grandson is Derek Gripper who is a friend on Facebook and I get little glimpses of his life as he toursvthe world playing African music on his guitar.Google him if your interested.

I've been to several Star Wars conventions specifically to meet members of the cast and crew and been backstage at several heavy metal concerts, most notably Metallica. As far as random run-ins, at the restaurant where I work I met super model Nikki Taylor and her then fiance (now husband) NASCAR driver Bernie Lamar, as well as pro wrestler Ivan Koloff (RIP).

I've had a few. I passed Tony Goldwyn on the street in DC, talked to Dennis Quaid at a local bar (he called me "chere" ), have waited on several Phoenix Suns players, as well as Alice Cooper at my place of business, met several MLB players, again, at work. A few more folks ( Sylvester Stallone, Pauly Shore, Alec Baldwin).

I did hair for a few: Patricia Neal, Jill Ireland, Spanky McFarlan, Maria Muldaur. Pitched a screenplay to Gary Buesey while his wife to be was having her nails done at Neumann Marcus salon. Met George C Scott at an after party for his one man show of Clarence Darrow. Smoked peyote with Peter Max. Met Brenda Lee and the Statler Brothers backstage at a concert in Clarksville, TN. Did Elizabeth Wurtzel's hair. Met Jet Williams (Hank Williams daughter) and Henry Thomas backstage at a Louisiana Hayride reunion in Shreveport. Met Hillary Clinton briefly at a fundraiser in Dallas. Ran into Ross Perot in an elevator. There are a bunch more and a lot of minors.

One of the girls in my sports team is a kid's cable TV show presenter and voice actor. D-list celebrity, I think.

And a couple of times a very long time ago.
1: During the lunch break of the taping of a sports TV show, one of the best half-backs in rugby league, his nickname is "the King", of the time came up to us with "What's up, guys?" It was awkward because we didn't interact with him. We were teenagers. He is still a big deal now. Everyone knows who King Wally is. Definitely an A-lister - but only in the world of rugby league.

2: I shared a cab from a party in the suburbs back to the city with a girl who turned out to be a presenter in one of Disney's saturday TV kids show. I didn't know who she was. She literally asked me: "Don't you know who I am?". Another D-lister, I think.

I went thru basic training with Drew Cary . But that was before he became famous .
I also almost got run over by Kieth Richards in his Rolls Royce while j walking in Seattle in the mid 90's.
I used to get high with one of the girls that played Tabatha on Bewitched .
I sat at a table with Carol Kane at a Moody Blues concert in Las Vagas in the 90's .
When you travel , you meet people I could go on all night , but I got to go to bed .

Ran into Donald Sutherland at the airport in Paris. We'd both lost luggage. Very nice guy we talked for 20 minutes then they found my bags. He even said it was nice to chat while we waited lol.

I went to the '04 vma's and saw coolio walking upstairs afterward. went up to him as I was talking to my sis on the phone. he said hi to my sis, shook my hand. seemed like a cool guy.

When I was in grade school one of my teachers daughters was getting married to John Davison from That's incredible TV series, Just so happen I had alos seen him at the Wesminister mall shopping. My science teacher when I was a freshman in highschool was a 3rd string Raider. When I was in the service Khrystyne Haje from The TV show Head of The Class was on tour with the USO she and I bumped into each literally when I was taking over the watch on the quarter deck.

I worked at the Grand Canyon for many years. I met and saw plenty. I still think Bill Clinton and Oprah were my highlights.

I ran into Don King in a local grocery store, he would wave and say hello to everyone who looked in his direction.

I've met many famous people: I'll start with Bill clinton, senator Durbin, Tom Postin, Richie Havens, Peter Brown, Charles Barkley, Micheal cooper, Robert Guilliume (Played Benson), Johm Amos, Goldy Hawn. Rev. Tutu, Gary busy, Mohamod Ali, George savales, Sally struthers, Beverly Owen (from the Munsters) Sally Struthers, Ron Howard, and many more

Richard Karn (Al Borland of Home Improvement). Met at a High School reunion for a woman I was dating. He seems to enjoy people and making them happy. As far as I can tell he uses his celebrity for worthy causes. But that's impressions from a 30 minute acquaintance. I hope he can maintain a positive personality for longer than that, I know I would find it difficult.

Many times. Hv live in La and nyc and they r everywhere

Bob geldoff and his center spread girl on the underground in London. More than once cos he lived there.all you could see was legs and hair.

Oh yeah and Leonard Cohen,but it was his concert so doesn't really count.Definitely an emotional encoynter

From left, me, Simon Bisley, and Glenn Danzig.

I shook hands with Trent Reznor at a Lords of Acid concert when I was 19. His hair fell in my face as he leaned in to hear my name. I could have died a happy woman! I've also met Stephen Root "I believe you stole my stapler" from Office Space at the New Orleans airport. He was super nice. Met Freddy Rodriguez from 6 Feet Under while he was getting a to-go order at a restaurant I worked at while filming in our town, and also met Diedrich Bader (actor/comedian) while he was filming nearby. He was drunk and friendly. And very tall!

It is to us to grant the priviledge. Sometimes I refuse to acknowledge. Nothing personal. Latest... less than 2 weeks ago I flew on the same small plane as jeb bush. Miami-Jacksonville. Ignored. In a different story line, he could be president by now and then again....

As a mail carrier I delivered an Express Mail to Marlo Thomas. She was polite but abrupt.
Also Donald Rumsfeld. I wished I had kicked him in the leg. =0}

Too many times and with too many 'kinds' to even remember them all unless asked; bringing the memory to the 'fore'. I started listing once in answer to a similar question and had to keep returning to add names; finally gave up. Most of the encounters were either waiting on them once or as them being regular customers or at their funerals. It really makes visiting a cemetery an interesting philosophical exercise, for example: Sinatra is buried very near Jimmy van Heusen (Chester).

Only steps away from their markers are many more identical ones, save inscribed names and epitaphs, over people the world little knew. Some were merchants, children who didn't make it, life-long 'invalids, insane people, everyday moms, dads, cousins etc. who never left any significant mark on the world. The place just feels a very quiet - equalizing - destination for all when the party is over.

I've worked with minor celebrities, as an actor.
