Talked with Lou Diamond Phillips...
 
at an aftershow party at McMaster University when he was opening for Blue Rodeo with The Pipefitters. Great guy to talk to - amazing stuff about some of my favourite movies like Young Guns (Charlie Sheen turning to Emilio Estevez in the screening, saying "Jesus, I died fast!") and Disorganized Crime (his trip over the fence rail was not in the original script). He signed a Mohawk Warrior flag I wore on my Frosh Control Suit - someone noted that his handwriting was perfect to which he replied that "If someone values my autograph enough to ask me for one, then I should give them one worthy of their request".
...I've spoken to some folks in the windsurfing and snowboarding world, been punched in the shoulder by Doug Bennett (RIP) of Doug & the Slugs, etc. etc....but meeting LDP will always be the highlight....
Cheers!

I met martin short my senior year in HS
 
Couple of my friends and I went up to him and did the lil '3 amigos salute' :-P. He was at my highschool because one of the teachers used to work with him in videos (I believe the teacher helped or actually wrote the script for the movie 'Clifford'), and Martin S. came by to visit. Actually this teacher's wife was in 'Analyze This' (she was the lady at the end that was saying "he wants me to call him big daddy")... Campman was their last name iirc.

I also met Randal Cunningham (Old school eagles QB for those of you who don't know :-P ) during an autograph signing of his in Florida (Ft Lauderdale area).

My uncle also met yogi beara (sp?) in FL once too. My uncle looks at him and goes "You're Yogi Beara!" He looked at my uncle and says, "yes I am" and walked away. Kinda funny to hear the story.

I guess I've got a few ("fringe" celebs?)....
 
Anyone here into bodybuilding or powerlifting? I've met and hung out with Bill Kazmaier (three time World's Strongest Man) and Ed Coan (considered by many to be the greatest powerlifter of all time) several times. I've met Jay Cutler (current Mr. Olympia), Rich Gaspari (former Mr. O. top five). Trained alongside Carla Salotti (current IFBB professional), Jeff King (former Mr. Universe) and got to know former Mr. World Rich Roy pretty well.

I know, they are fringe celebrities to most of the general population, but I used to be very much into bodybuilding, and it was always interesting to speak with people at or near the top of their game.
