I met a lot of celebs when I was younger. My mother was a reporter when I was a kid. Never really thought much of it though. I met Buck Owens and crew from the Hee Haw show backstage. Jimmy Stewart,Ronald Reagan, almost John Wayne on same day but he was sick. I met Steve McQueen twice,got to sit on one of his bikes while he was tinkering with it, Ally McGraw was there. Some cast members from the Buck Rodgers tv show can't remember who have to ask on that one. Later on I met Danny Devito, Kathline Turner and Michael Douglas on the set of War of The Roses. At a Aerosmith concert I met Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern, Jeff later got on stage and performed "Big Ten Inch" with Steve.
I have to say the one I met that I was really floored over was someone many don't know of. He was a writer of many books I was reading as a kid. He wrote Gentle Ben and many many other great books. Usually centering around a young boy growing up in the wilderness with a dog or a horse. Anyway I was in middle school in the lunch line when a man In line behind me asked what I was reading. I turned to see who it was and I was shocked to see it was Walt Morey himself. I did a double take at his picture on the book to make sure. He smiled and asked if I would like to eat lunch with him and my teacher. Turned out he was touring schools promoting the benefit of reading. I sat and talked with him at length like he was a friend, he was very giving in his accounts of his adventures in his youth that he based so many of his stories on. Oh yeah I almost forgot Ryan Stiles (Herb from Two and a Half Men) lives not far from me. I have seen him and met him more times than I can remember. My wife and kids where trick or treating Halloween in same neighborhood with him and his family at same time.
Also Hillary Swank went to school with her she is younger and best friends with a friend of mine back then.
