Current Events > What celebrities have you met and what were your impressions of them?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Also under what circumstances did you meet them?

I've only met 3 depending on your definition of celebrity and all solely from frequenting a local comedy club.

1. Josh Blue - Met when he stayed after for autographs and pictures. Just a really nice dude who wasn't afraid to put his arm around me for a good picture.

2. Rob Schneider - Didn't stay after like Josh, but we ended up running into him in the bar after the show. I made shirts of his movies for me and my friends so as we approached he cheesed really hard and immediately walked towards us with a glass of wine in hand. Talked with us for a good bit and asked us if we liked the show.

3. Pauly Shore - Stayed after like Josh, but because the line to meet him was massive it was a bit rushed and I didn't get much interaction with him.

Met a couple through my wife winning radio competitions

Taylor Swift was lovely. Chatted to us both and complimented my wife's hairband. Posed with us in the photograph like you would with anyone else.

Katy Perry didn't say a word to us. Took the photo, stayed incredibly still while breathing heavily through her nose. Not long after us she then limited it to one person a photo instead of the pair of winners lol

I also met MKTO when they had their one hit wonder. It was a duo that had the kid from Lost. Pretty sure they went off the rails not too long afterwards lol

I met 1.

But it was really more my uncle met them and I just happened to be there. They took a photo with him but I don't know who they were except that they are African American and had a role in one of the Fast and Furious films. Which is how this encounter happened as the actor visited the theater we were in, which was showing a Fast and Furious film. I can't remember which because I don't like films. I was only there because my uncle likes action films and decided to invite me for some reason. I was very bored and had to pee because they have me a really large soda.

napoleon, he's short tempered

ken jennings and he was hilarious and charming

Bob Segar. He was great. We went bowling together when i was a kid.

I met Jimmy Buffett.

My impression of him is terrible, I can't sing for shit.

science fiction author Ray Bradbury. He gave a lecture at the University of Illinois. I attended his lecture. He talked about his youth in the state of Illinois. That was 24 years ago. Ray Bradbury has since passed away

Rajmohan Gandhi. The grandson of Mohandas Gandhi, the famous guy from India. He taught a class at the University of Illinois about his famous grandfather. I asked him why the Tibetan Dali Lama was given asylum in India. He said that it was a humanitarian act

myself. I have translated 30 books and video games to the English language. However, I am not as famous as Ted Woolsey

Can't really name most of them since the name they perform under the different from the name I know them by but several prominent underground electronic artists and a few novelists though two of them are ghost writers. Oh and I guess I knew a classmate who went on to play in the NFL and another who went on to tet arrested for a string of robberies across the Puget Sound.

the female filmmaker of The Panama Deception, a documentary that criticized USA President Ronald Reagan for lying to the media about the American invasion of Panama. She brought her Oscar statuette to my dorm, and talked about her movie. I approached the Oscar statuette, because I had never seen one before. She invited me to touch her Oscar, which was nice of her

the founder of Youtube. I was a classmate of the founder of Youtube at the University of Illinois. He was very rude to me, actually. But that didn't stop him from earning $600 million dollars

I had a ten minute conversation with Kenny G when he performed where I work. He was cool, he didn't think it would be as chilly as it was outside that night. He's a small guy too, maybe 5'3" and 100 lbs tops.

a whole bunch at various conventions

coolest ones that I actually got to chat with a little were Edward James Olmos, Joss Whedon, Tom Hiddleston, Will Forte, and Nathan Fillion

probably more that Im not remembering

I have met quite a lot of the Star Trek cast. The ones I met are:

Walter Koenig - Pavel Checkov
John DeLancie - Q
Michael Dorn - LieuTenant Commander Worf
Andrew Robinson - Elim Garak
Robert Beltram - Chackotay
Robert Duncan McNeill - Thomas Eugene Paris
Tim Russ - Lieutenant Tuvok
Ethan Phillips - Neelix

One not from Star Trek in the utterly gorgeous Caludia Christian who played Commander Susana Ivanova in Babylon 5.

I met them all at seperate times when they did a signing at a shop called Forbidden Planet that we have here in Glasgow.

Andrew Robinson took time to say a few words to me which I thought was brilliant.

Maurice Greene. Maurice is a mixed martial arts fighter that is a little bit famous in the mixed martial arts realm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_Greene_(fighter)

Before he became a professional fighter, I worked with him at an e-commerce company. He was a good guy to work with

Plenty through my work but I can name the notable ones:

Usher: Absolute douchebag and absolute asshole who left a damn big mess for me to clean up and didnt even say thank you for the service before hopping on his private jet

Kevin Durant: Very aloof and distant. I can tell easily hes a shy mamas boy.

Metallica: Met all the members many times and they are extremely nice and down to earth. They just act like normal, cool, laid back guys and they love chatting with us.

I met Lance Henrickson, Michael Biehn and William Forsythe in the same evening. They were all pretty cool guys. Lance gave the finger in the pic we got with him.

Tommy Wiseau - Quirky, funny guy
Charles Martinet - Super wholesome, friendly
