I saw Chad Kroeger from Nickleback at a restaurant in Langley BC (my hometown) once.  He was talking on a cel phone the whole time and laughed at me when I walked by him "on the way to the washroom".  Considering he laughed when my friend did the same thing I don't think we fooled him.  The coolest thing about it was that usually any celeb will be in Vancouver.  The odds of seeing one in Langley (which is like the furthest suburb from downtown) is very rare.

Aside from that I've only encountered famous people in situations where I'm supposed to see them like at an autograph signing or something.

I met Tom Clancy once, he's a stuck up, pompous ass.  

I also met Brookes Robinson when I was little, I have a baseball and glove both autographed by him as well from when I met him.

I played a round of golf with Phil Mickelson and Tom Lehman a few years ago.
I have also spoken to Chris Pronger on several occasions as he and my wife are old school friends.
Also once when getting groceries we saw Kim Bassinger in the store (she was in town filming a movie), we never approached her however.

Anyone seen the Legend of Bagger Vance?  Well the kid caddy in it was my roommate at tennis camp.  His name was James Michael Moncreif, and he was relly cool.  I guess he's not that famous.  But I haven't met anyone other than that.

  I met Kevin Smith at a lecture. and Jason Mewes at their comic book store here in jersey.(Clerks,Mall Rats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay amd Silent Bob, Jersey Girl)  Kevin Smith is real down to earth, and Jay, is, well Jay...

I also met Michael Keaton years ago, during the making of 'Clean and sober'.  The house in the movie was in my development in southern Jersey.  He was real cool, and signed a bunch of stuff.

Also, Allen Iverson hangs at TGIF in Philly, so I walked up to him once, ..once.  He had alot of big dudes with him, but he too, was extremely cool.  Thats about it for me.  Oh wait, I was on the 'Al Albert show'(if anyone knows what that is) when I was like, 4.  I lost the joke contest, so i hate mr. Albert.

I met Mandy Moore when she was in Bankstown Square, even got a kiss off her! No kidding!
She is VERY tall though.
I actually saw Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen at Bondi. I was on the bus though. So it would have been really something to put on my website!
He's not really famous, but Tim Bailey, the weather man (when he was still a presenter for Totally Wild) came to our school when I was in year 5, cause my teacher's son was a magician who worked with animals (Totally Wild is a show about wildlife and such).

Oh, and let's not forget me, Mario and Infernal Monkey with Jade Gatt and Ryan Lapp from Cheez TV a couple of weeks back!

God called me once - it was the wrong number.

The only famous person I've ever met is Susan Fletcher, who nobody has heard of anyway - I have a signed copy of her book, Dragon's Milk.

The past two year, my school's Beta Club and golf team members got to carry the score signs during a Legends of the PGA (Senior PGA...) tourney at the nearby World Golf Village in historic St. Augustine, FL.  I'm sure everyone else who I went with was famous, but my best match up was with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus (who also designed this particular golf course they played on).  I got autographed golf balls from all of 'em.  Every so often the golfers would make a little small talk with me.

I think the photographer/camera men make an effort not to get us score-sign-holders in the shot because I watched the tourney on TV and looked at pics in the newspaper and didn't see any of the other people.  However, people tell me that I did manage to make it in to a shot on ESPN.

I've met Alan Rickman. After a play he was doing in New York. And I also met Kathleen Turner and saw Alicia Silverstone, the same way.

I was sitting right behind Alan Rickman at the Royal Court Theatre in Sloane Square a few weeks ago.  I guess he likes hitting up the theatre.  Everyone kept saying "look!  Its the professor!".  I'm sure he was annoyed.

i...

...sold Joe Dumars (ex Detroit Pistons player) a computer.
...ran into Jeff Bridges. He looked like a bum (not meaning to be an insult), but he seemed to be a nice guy.
...almost sold Snoop Doggy Dogg some Dreamcast games. One of his bodyguards tried to get some free (and unreleaed) games off of me.
...actually sold some games to an NSYNC member. i didn't know who he was until one of my coworkers told me.
...talked to Tim Allen about some games. He hand't shaved and looked pretty rough. i guess i was expecting the "Tim" from Home Improvement...
...saw Eminem in our store (then Babbages) back in 98 (?). i didn't know who he was, and when someone told me, i still didn't know.

As a former Winnipeger and huge Jets fan I saw Khabibulin get his first NHL shut out. Reminds me, I was drunk at a party with Keith Tkchuck (he has totaled btw)

Thats cause he went to my school.
