    Re: what famous people have you met???????

    - I met Allen Iverson at Golden Corral, but I've seen him plenty of times cause he is from this area.

    - Met Marcus Vick at a T-Mobile store after he had been cut from the Dolphins. Not that he should even count as famous, lol.

    - I met Doug Williams at a thing we have in Norfolk, VA called Amfram Fest.

    -I met DJ Augustin when I was in Charlotte before a game they had against the Blazers. Really cool dude.

    - I went to High School with Jarod Mayo (Kecoughtan High in Hampton, VA), but I haven't talked to him since he got drafted.

    - I met Magoo at McArthur Mall. You know, the guy who used to rap with Timberland.... Remember??? Nevermind, lol.

    That's about it for me though

      Re: what famous people have you met???????

      I've met alot of famous/celebrity types.

      I met Ali, most of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight, most of the cast and crew of Stranger than Fiction, Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard, Alfonso Soriano (at a club and a restaraunt) and a lot of other Cubs players. Also met Ben Gordon (he use to hang out with my ex's sister), Alex Brown, and Lance Briggs.

      Definitely met alot of people in the movie industry because I've got a buddy who's an AD and I've been an extra and worked as a PA on a lot of films...too many B actors to name like Steven Dorff (total douchebag BTW).

      I can remember there was a thread similar to this one not too long ago.

      EDIT-

        I met Rick Smits one time when I was a lot younger, I honestly don't remember where it was but my dad would probably know.

        I also met Pete Rose at a park right near my old house when I was younger, he was there signing autographs(got my baseball hat signed) for some reason.

            Sat next to this guy at dinner 2 nights ago.

            It was an italian place, and, yes, he was drinking Sam Adams. This guy's legit.



            Also have also eaten dinner next to Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz, and OJ. Me and my dad had a nice conversation with OJ, we talked about Cadillac and Ronnie Brown.

                Nicolas Cage was a total douche...I worked on the Weatherman here in Chicago, and there would always be a crowd of fans waiting for him to sign autographs and he would never take the time to sign them.

                Johnny Depp on the other hand would put in a 12 hour day and not go inside his trailer until he had signed an autograph for almost everyone waiting.

                Also, Michael Caine worked on the Weatherman...when production would change locations he would walk through downtown crowds and be cordial and very accomodating when it came to autographs...Nic Cage had to basically have a car pick him up from the location and drop him off within the set so as not to be "bothered" by fans.

                As for Soriano, he seemed nice enough...I remember meeting him at a club immediately after the Cubs were swept from the playoffs and I just looked at him and said "WTF happened, man?" He just shook his head and laughed.

                  He wasn't with them, but it did happen to be at the same night. Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake sat by us, and we saw OJ in the bar and he really liked to talk.

                      When I played baseball in high school Brad Penny would come home and workout in the same facility with me. Yep, I'm cool.

                      I also played AAU basketball with Kelenna Azubuike. He, plays for Golden State now.

                      I've also partied with some football players that are now in the NFL. I'm sure no one would care or believe me. Oh well, who cares.

                        I met Meagan Goode, Tyrese, Carl Anthony Payne (Cole from Martin), some others can't remember. They were all staying at the hotel I was in once for some charity function.

                            John Elway,

                            Also met Warren Moon. When I flew to the pro bowl he was flying out there (In first class obviously but my dad recognized him) on the same plane my family was. So my brother and I went up there to get his autograph.

                            I also played one on one with Laphonso Ellis when i was little, if anyone remembers him. (from the Nuggets)

                            And a used to be celebrity: When I was young my dad was the play by play announcer at Montana State where Craig Kilbourn played basketball. There was a program at the school where athletes were "adopted" by local families to give them a couple dinners each week and my parents took him in. I was too young but I have a couple pictuers of him holding me when I was little.



                            Also: Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Clay Walker, Shania Twain.
