I delivered pizza to Jim Breuer's (from Saturday Night Live & Half Baked) house. He has a very cool family.
I've known the Blanks 77 (a local punk band) for years. TJ Blank used to be my roommate.
I've gone to many movie cons & wrestling meet & greets. Far too many to list.

I had a lengthy conversation with Bobby Schayer of Bad Religion at an Interpol concert. He was their roadie. I've had him on Facebook since.

Ive met tons of celebrities but the only one I "know" is actor David Dwyer. Chances are you have no idea who he is but as soon as you see the pic, you'll know. I swear he is in every movie...

I met Josh Peck in Las Vegas. This was after Snow Day came out. He was kind of a dick

I went to high school with a guy who now plays for the Cleaveland Browns (Kaleb Johnson). We were on the wrestling team at two opposite ends of the spectrum. I was the lightest at 103lbs, he was our 285. Pretty cool to watch him go through college and now play in the NFL.

Nothing major, just a few random stories. A distant family friend was a college buddy/co-bouncer with John Cena. He met up with us in New York en route to Wrestlemania XX and tried to get Cena on the phone to talk to us, but he was busy. He ended up calling back and leaving a voicemail for him saying hello to us, hoping we enjoyed Mania, etc. I've met various wrestlers over the years, past and present. Chris Jericho, Cesaro, Tyler Breeze, Baron Corbin, Kalisto, Aiden English, Simon Gotch, Stacy Keibler, Terri Runnels, Too Cool. Most were just in passing after shows, a few were actual meet-and-greets back when WWE used to bring people to show on-sales. I've met a whole bunch of bands over the years. I've played fantasy football with Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years and Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low. Met the Wonder Years, Hey Monday (featuring now-country star/Voice winner Cassadee Pope), New Found Glory on a couple of occasions, Saosin, spoke briefly to Mark Hoppus of Blink-182. I'll actually be meeting all of All Time Low this coming weekend. I've conducted a phone interview with Max Bemis of Say Anything. I know all the original members of the band Sparks the Rescue, who were huge in the state of Maine for quite a while and had a summer long stint on Warped Tour several years ago. They fizzled out before they really got a chance to make it big, but I've met and spoken to them all on many occasions and booked a show that they played. My dad has met a lot of prolific speakers, namely from the Civil Rights and Women's Suffrage movements. He owns a limo company and is contracted to Colby College, who often brings in semi high profile guests to speak to students and clubs. He always does the pickups. His personal favorite was football coach Herman Boone of Remember the Titans fame (played by Denzel Washington.) You've met some good ass celebrities! Always wanted to meet a wrestler. I love the Cena story:P

He looks like a Hey it's that guy actor He really is. I ran into him a couple weeks ago while with the girl I was dating. She asked me who he was and I told her he was an actor. She was like "oh I dont think Ive seen any movies he's been in"...I looked at her confused and was like, "He was in Remember the Titans, Blind Side, Anchorman 2, Robocop 2, October Sky, and hell he was even on Matlock"....she was like "Ive never seen any of those" sigh....then again she had never heard of Queen either.

I met John Farnham at a video game arcade when I was 11. He watched me play Mortal Kombat. I was playing as Sub-Zero. Ha! Hasn't thought about that in a long time.
I've also met various heavy metal musicians in Sydney and Melbourne, either at concerts or in-store signings. Most noteworthy among them was Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed. Awesome dude.

the only one I would say I have known and talked to in a social setting were Jonathan Rhys Myers & Katie McGrath.
Katie McGrath for those who don't know is an Irish actress who played the English assistant in Jurassic World that got chomped. But she has been in heaps of smaller stuff. She went to school with my cousin Shanes wife Melissa and at Melissas surprise birthday party 2 years ago she was there and brought Rys Meyers with her(they are good buddies) and both were really sociable and just normal really.
others are mostly Irish, Scots & English
Have met and chatted to a good few celebs at Glasgow Celtic games.....Gerard Butler, Frankie Boyle, Kevin Bridges, Billy Connolly, James McEvoy & John Higgins.
Daniel Day Lewis keeps a country cottage in County Wicklow near a tourist hot site and I met him walking my dogs there one day. He was nice.....but odd.
I have heard about loads of sightings of Jeremy Irons near us but have yet to see him out and about.....because he is now Alfred? He is a must

I've met Michael Rooker, Steven Yeun, Emily Kinney, Ben McKenzie, Robin Lord Talyor, David Mazouz, Sean Pertwee, David Powell. Ran into Ben Stein one time visiting New York.
While I didn't meet him I was in the same room as Tim Burton a few years ago when they had the opening for his MoMA exhibit. And just recently Johnny Depp (I went to see him play with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry)

And just recently Johnny Depp (I went to see him play with Alice Cooper and Joe Perry) Was Michael Rooker nice? Dude yeah. I met him at Walker Stalker his line had four options. Picture, Autograph, Combo, or pay nothing and just meet him. He was the coolest. I was waiting in line and there was a girl standing outside of that area with a sign that read "Yondu is blue and I will be too if I don't get a hug from" after a few minutes Rooker saw the girl got up from his table and ran over to the girl and gave her a hug.
