I'm 'In the Industry', so it would be hard to put a list of who's the most famous, but here are a few of the celebs:
Tom Hanks Peter Stormare Phil LaMarr Jennifer Hale Orlando Bloom Sean Astin
I have also met these non-celebs but famous: Wen Jiabao Hank Aaron Alex Lightman Bill Gates

When I was in my early 20's, I worked at Salt Lake International airport as a TSA security screener. I made Steve Young take his shoes off and patted him down.. he was furious, thought I had picked him "because of who he is", but it was really just a random check. I am not a football fan, and I had no idea who the blustery little fuck was until after he left and some other screeners came over and told me.
Also, Meg Ryan doesn't like having her purse rifled through.
That is all.

i met some at comic cons but none worth mentioning. Nathalie Cook, one of the first Lara Croft models was the most memorable not because of her fame but because she was so chill & down to earth i actually got to spend time with her

not too famous but

played as Rudy in The Pledge with Jack Nicholson. met in a coffee shop with a friend, had a 10 minute chat. referred me to the agency he's with as i expressed an interest in acting (did it in high school), and also gave me a nice compliment which was much needed confidence boost at the time.

- Jack Kent Cooke (my dad used to work for him, I used to go to one of his houses as a kid and swim in his pool) - A bunch of Washington Redskins (lol) - David Rockefeller (my dad knew him, we installed a camera/satellite system in his mansion)
- Alex Grey - Joe Rogan
uhh drawing a blank... there's probably a bunch more but that's most of them I can remember.
- oh met Chris Metzen at Blizzcon last week .. he's famous with Blizzard nerds

Instrument? Bass and vocals in a progressive speed/death metal band. we toured a lot but never released a full album =/ just shitty quality lo-fi recordings and demos. We were pretty much a live band only

We were a band for a solid 8 years before shit fizzled out and everyone moved. (girl drama ) Isn't that what breaks up most bands?
I haven't been playing music much the past couple years, ever since my entire rig was stolen Which I'm kicking myself for. I really need to get back into it. Not to mention my best friend and the lead guitarist lives like 30 miles away from me now, me and him wrote like 95% of the music. Hopefully we'll start something up again in the future.
Here's a few of our really bad quality home recordings from like 14 years ago if you care - https://soundcloud.com/skultamaphon
Frogman and Insanity are the best ones

Working in the service industry in NYC off and on for the past 15 years, I have definitely encountered more than a few. The only one I would really count as a "meeting" is when I did a shot of tequila w/ Drew Barrymore. I complimented her on producing "Donnie Darko", one of my favorite movies ever, and she bought me a shot of tequila.

Also various music industry and psychedelic community/drug policy reform folks, but I'm not sure they count as famous. Last week I sold merchandise for Lee DeWyze (sp?) I had no idea who he was, but apparently he won a season of American Idol.
My boyfriend went to a wedding last year around this time and met the kid from the Walking Dead.
OMG, I forgot one of my favorites - I think a lot of you are probably too young to even remember this show, but OZ is/was one of my favorite shows EVER. At one of my waitressing jobs I met the actor Dean Winters who played Ryan O'Reilly on Oz and he gave me acting advice. That was pretty awesome.

Setting up sound and stage for Memphis in may over a 4 year period, met many musicians, members of Spyro Gyra, survivors of Lynard Skynard, Eddie Money, Molly Hatchet,and many more. But to me, meeting Robert Bakker at a rest stop on the interstate near Laramie, Wyoming was infinitely more thrilling. He was suprised I recognized him, but knew from the fact I did that I was a bonehead (dino hunter).
-------------------- Rocks speak to me, and tell me this: The Hell Creek formation is a gigantic slab of rocks that covers several western states. It contains an account of the dinosaurs' demise. In the late Cretaceous period, the first Cannabis species appear, and soon after, all the non-bird dinosaurs disappeared. Obviously, marihuana killed the dinosaurs. That giant meteor that smacked the yucatan peninsula right afterwards, coincidence.

Do autographs count? 
I got an autograph from David Copperfield (pretty famous magician, back in the day, for you kids here.)
Oh, and I went to school / sat next to / used to talk with the guitarist for a nationally known metal band.
Oh, and I also went to school with someone who is (not an original member) in a very famous Alternative Rock band. Not Corgan or Iha though. 
I almost don't want to name names, because I'm stupidly paranoid about giving away too many potentially identifying details on the main board. 
Yeah, my brushes with fame have been pretty ungratifyingly distant.
My mother swears up and down she partied with Tina Turner or someone back in the day, though, if I remember correctly.
