Who Have YOU Met?

[Dale Roberts]

I have met and sold books to Leo DeCaprio, Rosie Perez, and Rosario Dawson who gave me her e-mail address... Anybody want it? I nearly met Ric Flair last year at NY. He did the Nature Boy strut in front of my booth while I did my best Macho Man Randy Savage.

[MutantKeys]

I'll take the email

Sam Elliot was having dinner at a restaurant while my neighbors, my wife and I were doing our monthly parents night out event.

 

I made the mistake of asking while he was behind everyone, "So who likes Sam Elliot, and what if I told you he is sitting right behind you?"

 

BIG MISTAKE!

 

 

Please elaborate..

[Bosco685]

Lee Majors when I was 6 years old and he was doing a tour for the Six Million Dollar Man. My grandfather told me to shake his hand, but I was afraid he would crush it - you know, being bionic and all.

 

 

But I always remember how kind he was, and showed a lot of patience with all the kids that showed up for his autograph.

The poor guy was in the middle of taking a bite of his meal and our friends all spun around and yelled, "SAM ELLIOTT??!!"

 

He was really cool about it, though, and later on took a moment to talk.

I live in LA. Movie "stars" around here are a dime a dozen, so unfair advantage.

 

I grew up in LA, so same unfair advantage.

 

I can say I sold comic books to Mark Hamill and had Andy Warhol take my picture at Oki Dogs back in the 1980s.

[chromium]

I used to babysit Marvin Gaye's kids, Bobby and Nona, when he lived in exile in Belgium.

Sweet man, played basketball with us kids all the time.

I live in LA. Movie "stars" around here are a dime a dozen, so unfair advantage.

 

In Chicago, they're about a quarter a dozen. Plus a ton of pro jocks.

Now that I'm out in the 'burbs, I don't run into anyone.

 

Because I live in Burbank, I have driven past, by, next to, and across from Leno on multiple occasions...he's been in a different car every time, and I've been in the same truck the whole time.

 

Doesn't make me special...just makes me local.

 

Word. It's just a matter of where you reside.

[VintageComics]

I've met too many people to list

 

Show off. You do it for a living.

 

 

The memorable people that stand out for me would be:

 

Lou Ferrigno (challenged him to a fight as a joke a couple of years ago)

Rhona Mitra (gorgeous in person, looks even better than on the screen and a sweetheart)

Lindsay Wagner (sweetheart and hasn't aged a day)

Al Feldstein (such a nice guy with a good sense of humor)

Bernie Wrightson (loves to talk about his work with fans)

Ayers

John Schneider (childhood idle, hasn't aged a day since he was 20, big as a house in real life and just the nicest guy...especially when you're buying him lots of tequila!)

Kim Mitchell (used to see him walk around down town Toronto)

Never met Geddy Lee but used to service his cars and drop them off at his house

Dini Petty (of Toronto City Pulse fame as well as her own talk show)

Jim Lee (rather to himself although I could have been a little overbearing at the time )

Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders...all of them...we were stuck at an airport in 1985! That was a fun time to be stuck.

Harvey Kirk (my dad recognized him when we passed him at the airport)

Did you ask Paul Reubens to take you to a movie?

[BaltimoreLauren]

I once sat next to Nicole Kidman at a sushi bar. She was kind of rude, but whatever. Keith Urban was with her, he was nice.

 

I also sat next to John Waters at a movie once.

 

I met Adam West at a con. Does that count?

 

I've met a few comic artists/writers, but Dan Parent always stands out since he knows who I am. He's such a doll!

 

Edit: Nearly forgot. Many of the cast of The Wire still lives around Baltimore.Some of them go to the gym I work at. I always get star struck when I see them and giggle alot. Before David Simon went to film Treme, I'd see him around town.
