biggest celebrity you've met

[Redz]

I waited on Fay Vincent a bunch of times.  Man had the largest head I've ever seen. He had to sit sideways in his chair with his leg stretched out for circulation reasons.  Ordered the end cut of prime rib without fail.  Nice enough guy.

Michael AIR Jordan.  He served me a beer in Santa Barbara!  It was cool....I didnt know how much to tip him...so I stiffed him!  LOL

I used to live in SB too.  Met Dennis Miller at the Montecito Inn.

Fat Mike from NOFX

Same here!  Funny down to Earth dude.

Warped Tour?

Actually I've met him twice, once when I was like 15 at Lupo's in Providence.  He gave me a mudslide because I was heckling them so much.  Then met him again 2 years ago at a bar in Worcester across the street from the Palladium.  Bought him a drink to return the favor.

I used to play Backgammon with Christie Heffner (CEO of Playboy) when she was a student at BU.

Also, as a Bridge and Backgammon player, I have played against some of the top players in the world.

I've been working out here in LA since the early 90's and have met pretty much everyone.

My favorite time: Working in Mexico on Clear and Present Danger, we were in the middle of nowhere. Each night we would go to a bar and drink, nothing else to do. One night, over the course of an hour, I was approached by a local girl asking "marry me green card?" Over the next hour, I was approached by 7 more girls, asking the same question. Everyone at my table was razzing me hard and I started to get upset. I had no idea what the heck was going on. After the next girl approached me, I heard a table break out laughing. I looked over and Willem Dafoe raised a glass and toasted me, saying I was a good sport. He then picked up my tab for the night. In retrospect, pretty funny.

I've worked on over 40 films and Dafoe is the nicest guy I've met.

I went to school with George Harrison's son. His dad stopped by a couple of times. Once I was even blasting some Beatles :-)

that is really cool... lucky guy

I was a valet in boston a couple years ago while going to school.  I met a bunch of local celebs, but the highlights were definitely getting to shake Brady's hand and work at Saint the night Big Papi had a party there.  He showed up in a Rolls (on loan from like Herb Chambers or something) and had tons of friends their for his party.  I ended up having to use the bathroom at some point in the night and sure enough, in walks Papi with like 4 buddies while I'm trying to p--- at the urinal.  The bathroom at Saint is pretty small, so they are like all crowded around him at the urinal right next to me, yelling in Spanish and slapping him on the back.  Pretty crazy moment.  Also, he tipped like 100 bucks.  Best athlete tipper I encountered in boston.

The closest encounter I have with a celebrity is an ex-NBL player and Australian hall-of-famer called Steve Carfino, now current commentator, I actually coached his son in reps basketball, and I thank those of you who adviced me to take the coaching position a few months ago, if you remember.

marcus camby, saw him in florida like 10 years ago and he signed a dollar for me

I've met him too, when I use to go to a chiropractor (to cure my migraines in middle school).  The guy who owned the business knew him so he brought him in, got his autograph on a college card of him.  I also met Manute Bol through the same guy.

My girlfriend met Paul Pierce at the airport and talked to him for like 5 minutes.

I took a Television class in college taught by Rex Trailer

[vwoodruff]

Richard Branson invited me to party with him, Kate Moss, and several other gorgeous women while I was in the Caribbean. I unfortunately had to turn 'em down...

Kevin Sorbo & Randy Macho Man Savage.

I had dinner with Macho Man because my wife's best friend was the marketing rep for Slim Jim at the time, he came to Vegas with her and the 5 of us (macho mans girl at the time was with us). Dinner was very cool, he is a pretty funny guy. Got some great pictures of me in a chokehold while we were waiting for valet. 

Kevin Sorbo was one of my bosses best friends and they golfed together a lot. He came to our office on a regular basis. Nice guy too!!!

[BigThreePeat]

Larry Bird snubbed me for an autograph once.  Other than that... Fabio once shot a toothy smile and a big eccentric grin at my mother as we drove by him in a car.  

I have family in the industry, though.   My uncle worked with people like Elton John, Michael Jackson, Dr. Dre, Queen, Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder, etc as a publicist for years.   Heard a ton of stories, but never really got a chance to meet any of them folks.

Celtic players don't count.
