I Saw A Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here!!!

Chiprocks1:
I've always wanted to do a thread like this going back 10 plus years and for whatever reason, I just never did...until now. Why have I wanted to do a thread like this? Well, for some odd and strange reason, I have had the uncanny ability to run into celebs everywhere more times than I can count. More so than I would random friends or co-workers, past and present. So, post your celebrity sightings here. They can be Movie Stars, TV Stars, Singers, Athletes or just people that are infamous. If you want, you can also post those that you have run into in the past.

So, tonight, shopping at VONS, standing directly in front of me in the check-out line was Frank John Hughes. He is a character actor that has been in pretty much everything. You may not know the name, but you certainly know the face from such series as Band Of Brothers, The Event, The Sopranos, 24 as well as movies like Catch Me If You Can and Bad Boys. The first thing I ever saw him in was Cover Me: Based on the True Life of an FBI Family, which ironically enough was shot entirely here in San Diego.

I Saw2 Sylvester Stallone almost get run over in downtown Savannah a couple years ago.

I met Bruce "Da MAN!" Campbell at a book signing for his first book a few years ago.

I used live in Bangor Main and spent most of my life there. I met Stephen King several times and talk to him quite a few times. He shopped at the grocery store I worked at and got to do a couple carry outs for him. Super nice guy.

Chiprocks1:
Nice. Three celebs I've always wanted to meet personally.

Great thread and brings back a clear memory.

In college I was doing an experimental video art class and we used ¾” video tape. That required going downtown to company that sold that tape. Walking into the building is the receptionist. I had an appointment with a salesman. While standing there waiting, I did not even notice someone walking up next to me. I did hear the receptionist announce over the loudspeaker “Bill… Mr. Berry here to see you”.

It didn’t quite click but I did glance over to see it was Chuck Berry. He was tall. Honestly I’ve never been ‘into’ his music, so the awesomeness was not there, but still a memorable moment.
