Most famous person you have met?

Not a fair question for me. I've been in film/TV/theater my entire career.
 

Same as StageTek. Between doing film and tv and also stage dooring multiple shows I’ve met and worked with a lot.
 
Tom Hanks at the Space Camp grad in Huntsville, AL. My son and his son were in the same platoon!
 
Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Donald Trump, Larry Bird are a few of famous people I've met.
 
Oprah, before she was famous. She was a news reporter on Tv in Baltimore and was covering a new store opening in Harbor Place. My nephew was interviewed but didn’t appear on the show.
 
Back in 1990, I was at a Speedway in Cleveland Ohio when a tour bus pulled up. Didn't think anything of it until four guys walked in the front doors. Mic Mars, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, and Tommy Lee. Back then in my mid 20's you bet I was a Motle Crue fan. They actually talked with me for a couple of minutes outside. Years later at WDW, I along with my wife and my then 15-year-old daughter also met Billy Dee Williams in an elevator at the Contemporary Resort heading up to the CL back in 2014. What a very nice encounter. In the elevator, my daughter quietly tried to say to me, "Daddy, do you know that is Lando Calrissian?" He looked down at her, smiled, and said hi. He talked with us in the lounge for about 5 minutes and was very accommodating when my daughter asked for his autograph. A cast member in concierge said that Mark Hammil was also at the contemporary, but liked to stay to himself and preferred to stay in the Contemporary Garden suites. No such luck seeing him.
 
Col Sanders. He was at the Boy Scout Jamboree in 1973 and I met him and shook his hand. He was really tiny. I was 13 and quite a bit bigger than he was.
 
How do you define "most famous"?
Most famous politician: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama
Most famous male actor: John Ritter, Randy Quaid, Ed Asner
Most famous female actor: Liza Minnelli
Most famous male singer: Ray Charles

Plus all the Mickey Mouse Club kids, some of whom got quite famous later like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera, but they were just kids on a Disney Channel show when I met them.
 

Most famous person you have met?​


Well, only a few:
Liberace
Danny Thomas
Jon Provost
Brian Keith
Don Ho
Huell Howser
 
My most famous - had a short conversation with Huey Lewis ( the band had jjust released their first album, touring colleges) I was a ticket taker, he came by to see how sales were going, had a nice chat. This was way before cell phones, so never got a picture! He was a really nice guy
 
Got into an elevator with Stephen Stills. We were at a science fiction convention and I think he was staying at the same hotel and playing a concert in town. I don't remember his reaction but he was probably pretty taken aback.

I walked past Bernadette Peters in New York City but I didn't know it until we were past her and my sister said "Hey,that was Bernadette Peters!"

Also had Garth Brooks walk by us in a hotel lobby, but I didn't know who he was until later. This was early in his career and he was just some guy in a black cowboy hat.
