Me and mom with Kevin Spacey in September at US Open

I met Michael J. Fox in England when I was in high school. I met Boy George at Heaven in London. I see Wolf Blitzer, David Brooks and justice John Roberts at the supermarket occasionally.
The congressman who Colbert got to say "I like cocaine and prostitutes because they're a fun thing to do" lives down the street.
This guy was one of my sister's best friends in high school. I don't really remember him, she is 10 years older than me.
I went to high school with a bunch of kids who's parents were famous, mainly media and politicians types. Ted koppel's kid was a total disaster.
Oh, I met Matt stone and trey Parker when I went to see Book of Mormon. We had standing only tickets, and they stood right next to us during the show, watching it like we were.
My mom is friends with the owner of the buffalo bills, and she met OJ Simpson at the superbowl a few months before he went nuts.

When I worked at the Groundling theatre, I regularly worked with:
Kathy Griffin Lisa Kudrow Patrick Bristow Mike Hitchcock Julia Sweeney Ali Wentworth
Some you may have heard of, others are probably lesser known celebrities.
I toured with Billy Joel and met his ex wife several times
I was once taken off of a job because I made fun of Jerry Seinfeld and he overheard it.
I've met lots of random actors on movie, tv, and theatre sets, including:
Gene Hackman Billy Bob Thornton Gary (drug a)Busey John Lithgow Don Cheadle Sylvester Stallone
I have Charlie Manson's autograph, and my cousin was a playboy centerfold, too.

Rudy Giuliani sat about 5 feet away from me when I was sitting in the lobby of a private airport once 
I didn't talk to him though.

Robert Di Nero's grandma lived two houses down from me (and in the same two family home as one of my childhood friends), but I don't think I even ever saw the guy. Maybe like once when I was a little kid and I didn't even know what the fuck an actor was.
That's the closest I've been.
I've met people that are "celebrities" in the sense that they are a big deal in the scene they are involved in, but they aren't celebrities to every day people.

I read a lot of nonfiction literature. I just caught a interview with him on it. I highly doubt I watch more television than you because I never watch t.v. You are a troll. Had a bad day. I am smarter than you think, that is absolute.

My wife has been on Law and Order a bunch of times, although I wouldn't exactly call her famous. She did some stuff on Oz, and a few other random shows, and a voice over on Family Guy. It was enough that my health insurance was through the screen actors guild for a couple years. They played a clip of her on the Soup once because she had some ridiculous line about something being stuck in the victim's hoohoo.

I was at a festival selling water in the woods, all fucked up on acid. This guy walks up and starts shooting the shit with me, toss him a water. I ask him if he is going to be at Pretty Lights later, and that we'd be over there trying to keep people hydrated and safe. He said "Yea, I hope so!(Hope I'll be there)"
As he walked away I said to my girlfriend standing next to me "Hey, that guy was pretty cool look for him at Pretty Lights and we'll toss him a water"
My girlfriend looked at me, laughed, and said "Babe... that WAS Pretty Lights"
MFW I asked Pretty Lights if he was gonna be at Pretty Lights later

Yes.
I met Kerri Russell when she came in to buy something at the Walgreen's® I worked at in high school. I guess she used to live in the same town I grew up in and went to a High School over here.
She was on some show called "Felicity" and did some other movies and shit, nothing I care to look up.
Met John Marshall Jones at the Seattle airport. He was the dad in "Smart Guy" sitcom from years back, and other things of course. Didn't say anything to him though, he was there with his kid and I didn't have anything to say really.
Met Hanson, don't know who was who really as they are all adults now, but they ordered food at this bar they where playing at, they still play small venues and such all over the place so they have a lot of fans.
Can't remember anyone else so I think that is it, aside from when people tell me "Oh that guy plays for the Broncos" or something.

The closest person ive met to a celebrity was Steve Mccurry at a speech he did. He shot this picture over in Afghanistan as a freelance photographer.
 He may not be a big-time celebrity, but he had the most amazing adventurous story I have ever heard in my entire life. He was in a plane over the middle east that went down and he was pronounced dead but survived the crash. And he travels the world on his own and captures peoples everyday lives and culture. He's pretty much 100% my inspiration to do what he does eventually.
Sorry for the enormous picture, i wasnt aware it was that large.
