Just today I was waiting in line at the Kodak store and I seen the Irish born Oscar winner for Visual and sound effects on the film avatar, Richie Baneham.

The owner was shown the masks and things he was working for the upcoming film The Hobbit.

I posted this to see if anyone else has ever met or seen someone famous?

I've met Tech N9ne. Got into his show for free because a buddy of mine knows him, and he came to the after party for a few minutes.

I saw richard Gere in washington D.C.

 

My mom almost ran up to him and hugged him, but she had a bunch of bags so she said they might think she's a suicide bomber.

I never quite recovered.

I live in LA so I've met a bunch.

Jennifer Aniston - SUCH A FUCKING SWEETHEART! The nicest celebrity I've ever met.

John Mayer - narcisisstic asshole. He's nice in front of the camera to his fans, right when they turn off he shuns everyone.

Alan Arkin - Saw from afar, didn't meet.

Owen Wilson - Saw from afar, funny dude.

Kevin Federline - Saw him at the mall, surrounded by cameras.

Paris Hilton - much better looking in person, pretty nice (circa 2007)

The Kardashians - Kim looks very plastic in person, Kourtney looks best in person. Chloe is a sweetheart.

Benjamin Bratt - Really cool guy. Much taller than I expected.

An old roommate of mine is the nephew of Kate Mulgrew... who was Columbo's wife and also Captain Janeway on Star Trek Voyager. He's also been in a few things. And she's pretty awesome!

I've also met Tahmoh Penikett (Helo from Battlestar Galactica), Jewel Staite and a local weather man.

All pretty cool people.

Now, if we play Six Degrees of Separation... I could go on all day. :P

Ah, I left one out: I used to play poker regularly with William Hung. Haven't in the past year though.

I met him my freshman year of college in a poker game. We played a lot and he's a terrible player. I have fond memories of bluffing him out of pocket queens (QQ) with an ace on the board.

He also has a really bad temper. Every time he lost a big hand, he would slam the table really hard, and occasionally yell stuff. He also got really impatient if the cards were dealt too slowly. He's not a very easygoing guy - at all.

We got so used to him we just called him 'William' and totally forgot he was famous, though not for the best of things hah.

My aunt dated Randy The Moncho Man Savage. I never met him though, it was in the 80s before he hit the big time.

When I was in NY for a performance, the War of the Worlds premier was at my hotel.. so I met Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, then Dakota Fanning and Spielberg from afar.

Also.. the band Tonic, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Reba, and Carrie Underwood. I ran PR for a benefit concert and work at a lot of events, so I get to meet some interesting people sometimes.

I've met a few folks, especially footballers, best one though was Archie Gemmel, I got interviewed about the Scotland V Brazil game, the opening game of the 1998 World cup in France actually.

Anhoo I was asked my thoughts about the game off camera, then asked to do them on camera, right after wee Archie gave his piece right beside me. Damned if I can find that old VHS tape though. Probabaly for the best as my mum said I looked as if I was going to hit the guy next to me as he shook his head at my comments :D
