Back in the early 80s I was a kid of around 8 or 9 years old. I was with my parents at a seafood restaurant in Santa Monica. I remember seeing Jack Klugman of "Quincy M.E." fame. Do I get a cookie? If so, I prefer Chewy Chips Ahoy!!!

I sat next to Charles Barkley on a flight from Phoenix to Las Vegas. I fly so often for business (or used to, anyway) that I was automatically upgraded to 1st class sometimes. I'm glad I didn't have to sit next to him in coach... he is a BIG man. Funny and smart guy, too. I didn't ask for an autograph or anything, just shot the shit for a few minutes then left him alone.

Saw Mike Tyson strolling through Vegas airport At about 3am.Rode in an elevator with Max Gale(sp?) from Barney Miller. Saw Rod Stewart cross the street in front of my moms car. And was in an AA meeting with someone famous. Only right to preserve their anonymity.

although it is to be expected he would be there, it was the casualness of it that sort of shocked me. Adrien Grenier's band was playing a gig at a local music venue, literally feet from my apartment. As I volunteer at said music venue, I stopped in the main office, and there was Adrien Grenier, eating a bag of doritos and just hanging out, in this cramped office space.

When I was a kid I was on the tram car on the Wildwood boardwalk and Oscar, the manager of WWF tag team Men On a Mission, hopped on with my family. I was excited beyond belief.

i met wrestling legend mick foley at my local home depot 3 times back when i was 16. 3rd encounter he was in infront of me and my dad at the checkout lane. it was cool to talk bout his old ecw days and the famous hell in a cell match with the undertaker. during the middle of the convo he asked if i had any change cause he was short bout 55 cents on his items. we continued the convo back to our cars.

Not counting ones related to my job, I was in an elevator with Bob Balaban, from "Best In Show" and "Waiting for Guffman" he talked to me about Jamba Juice, and crossed Madison Ave. once with Rip Torn. And after the 10/31 Spectrum show talked baseball with Tim Kirkjian outside the holiday inn.

Rudy Tomjanovich (he used to coach the Houston Rockets). we were out in Houston celebrating a friends bday at a bar. (this was about 5 years after they won back to back titles in Houston) i went up to him & just said thanks for doing such a great job while on my way to buy another round. he was BOMBED!! haha. he grabbed a napkin & asked me my name & signed an autograph. he then told the bartender to put all of our drinks on HIS tab!! pretty damned cool.

i also met Craig Biggio & Jeff Bagwell (of the Astros) at church when i was in high school. my mom & i arrived late, so we had to stand in the back. i turned around to pass the plate & there they were. my eyes went huge (i'm a diehard Astros fan) & Biggio said they'd be willing to chat for a few after the service. and we did!! they signed a church newsletter for me. super nice guys.

I met Wayne Newton in 1998 at a Dunkin Donuts on the South Shore in MA. Apparently he was doing a gig down the road. I wouldn't have even known who he was if it wasn't for my dad. I still didn't know who he was until I saw Vegas Vacation with Chevy Chase.

I also sat next to Kid Rock on the Back to the Future ride in Orlando. I was behind him in line and didn't really recognize him until the guy in front of him turned and asked for an autograph. He was really cool and down to earth. He was with his GF or wife. Talked to him for a few minutes and that was that.

AmherstJammer · February 2010

I was in line behind Ron Wood at a Starbucks in Boston

bigbadbill · February 2010

I also met rapper DJ Quik at the Ralphs about a mile from my house in Altadena, CA back in 2000.

xavier mcdaniel · February 2010

Riddick Bowe at Union Station in DC in 1999. Blake Griffin chatting with two girls following the NBA draft at the corner of West 31 Street and Seventh Avenue. Stone Gossard in the Village Pourhouse following a charity show at Webster Hall that featured Brad.

justam · February 2010

One day I was a tourist in NYC waiting to cross the street at a stoplight and I noticed a man looking at me over the top of his sunglasses across the street. I looked directly at him for a moment and realized it was Al Pacino. That surprised me.

My sister once met They Might Be Giants in the airport & they invited her (and me) to their show the next night. So we partied backstage with them, Frank Black, & Dada (who sang that song that goes "I'm going to Disneyland"). The singer from Dada walked past me before their set & I didn't recognize him. I complimented his hat & he stopped & talked to me for an hour or so. After the gig, we went out partying with They Might Be Giants. They snuck us into a bar with them and then were kind enough to offer to face our grandfather with us, who was furious because when he came back to pick us up from the show we weren't there & the bouncers told him we went back to the hotel with the band.

Wil Wheaton (the kid from Star Trek: The Next Generation & Stand By Me) once jumped out at me in a toy store & told me not to buy a Rubic's Magic & then talked to me for awhile. It was the late '80s, I was 13, & he liked my Debbie Gibson pin. :oops:

My sister & I were once extras in a movie with Stephen Baldwin. He took a liking to us & asked if he could bring his camera to the set & photograph us. We said sure.

Bill Cosby once tried to persuade my boss to give me the night off.

I saw Tucker Carlson at Green Airport in Providence, RI once. He saw me recognize him, and then he smirked. It was definitely him, he had the bow tie and the hair.

Drowned Out · February 2010

This guy from Young and the Restless:

...he was doing an autograph signing at a mall I was meeting my gf at...I was standing near the group of girls waiting to meet him outside... thinking I was the only guy there to see him, he came straight over, thanked me for coming, and offered me his hand....I didn't shake it and started laughing. Not to slight him, I was just caught off guard.
