Famous People You Know? Met?

Archive: 33 posts


So, anyone know, met, or even just seen someone who's "famous"? Be it an actor, musician, game designer, etc. It can even be someone who's simply interesting, as in they work with a unique job or something, but they them self aren't necessarily popular or well known.



I once met the professional skateboarder Rodney Mullen.
Seen the professional skateboarder Elissa Steamer (she's shorter than the version of her in the video game Tony Hawk, lol)
Got an autograph by the professional skater Mike Vallely.
The professional snowboarder Jim Rippey and I attended the same church for a few years. (I once came across an action figure of him later on, it's hilarious to see an action figure of someone you knew. )
I currently know someone who was one of the lead art designers for The Elder Scrolls: Arena. (No longer works at Bethesda though.)
My brother knows someone who currently works at Insomniac now (don't know the details, they helped out with Ratchet and Clank stuff).
My brother and I (brother mainly) know someone who now works on I Spy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Spy_%28Scholastic%29) video games (don't know many details about that either, I "know" them, but not too well.)
When Pearl Harbor was bombed, a relative of mine only lived down the street from the base(s?), they have a piece of a Japanese plane from the event too.
And of course we all know those folks that work at Tarsier and Mm now, I suppose.

Over a decade ago I met Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels at a comic book shop. They're probably best known for being the actors who portrayed R2-D2 and C-3PO in the Star Wars films. Didn't get an autograph but then again I've never been too much of a fan anyway.2012-01-12 03:05:00

Afraid not. We actually were at the Warner Brothers Booth for the casts of shows like Chuck though, before the celebs were in there for the signing. The way the lines were handled was kind of a mess though. Luckily, Adam Baldwin was also doing more signings near the Battlestar Galactica people.

The most famous person I've met is Jessica Mauboy, I doubt any non-Aussies have even heard of her, hell there's probably even a lot of Aussies who don't know her.

So because of of that I'm going to claim Julian Assange, not that I've ever met him but he did spend some years living on Magnetic Island (a suburb of my city) as a child. I mean, that counts right?

I know myself /shot


Seriously though, I have not once really remembered ANYONE at all that I've met that was popular.

...I have met Marriland from the Pokemon community once though. He's a bit popular around there.


Otherwise, not really much comes to mind.

I went to school with Keira Knightley.... I hear she's in films nowadays.

HOWEVER... my Mum went out with the bass player from this band (which I think is a much better claim to fame).
