Who have you met, and who do you want to meet?

Tell us your story of who you met and what happened, and who you'd want to meet and what you'd hope would happen?

Let's not include fricking in our "who you'd want to meet" bit. fricking is obvious. If you thought of fricking, you aren't clever.

I want to meet Richard Hammond and spend a day driving around in whatever car he decided to drive, and finish the day off getting hammered and talking cars.

I've met Jamie foxx, the only non athlete famous person I have met.

He was filming django in Nola while I was a senior at Tulane. I ran into him a few times because he would be playing basketball on the courts we had some intramurals. Talked to him a few times. Extremely nice and humble. I really only have good things to say.

I'd love to meet Quentin Tarantino. I'm just a huge fan of his movies. I think he'd be cool to talk to.

Met Timothy Hutton at the baggage claim in New Orleans airport. He was trying to be all incognito with a ball cap and shades on. I walked up to my traditional place at the very end of the conveyor belt to wait for my bag. He walked up right next to me and said hello.I told him hello and that I enjoyed his work. The whole time his head was on a swivel and he just kept surveying the area. About 5 minutes later this gorgeous brunet girl with an accent walked up and slipped her hand in his and they just stood there waiting for their bags. Two weeks later I saw on
Entertainment Tonight he and Debra Winger were getting divorced.

I too have a story about Soulja Boy. He was coming to Oxford to perform and I worked for the university's transportation. In order to still come, he wanted a stretch limo with a hot tub in the back and at least six Ole Miss hoes in the limo as well. Considering the closest limo like that was in Dallas, not to mention the university couldn't provide him with hoes, we told him we couldn't meet those demands. Soulja then goes on a rant and starts dog cussing my boss, and so my boss puts him on speaker for us all to hear. Could understand only about every 4th word. He didn't come to Oxford needless to say.

In grad school I had the opportunity to attend a low key Q and A with Jeff Corwin that was followed by a reception.

I looked up to him as a kid, so it was really cool to meet him. He signed a book and took a picture with me so I didn't get to talk to him much.

One of my professors proceeded to trash him several weeks later.

Not cool man.

I have worked closely with Elizabeth Banks and Ryan Phillipe (meetings, lunches and scouts etc for work) both very nice people

Worked around and have me Elijah Wood, Adam Richman (real cool but huge), Paul Walker, Ashley Greene in the last few months

About to work closely with Jon Hamm and Alan Arkin, which should be cool.

All time best was catching 20 passes from Brees for a commercial.

I saw Stanford from SATC in the French Quarter once and was totally star struck. He was a jerk, though.

I'm spending a few weekends in LA this summer, so I'm nervous about seeing celebrities and my reaction.

Then again, I have the same reaction when I see people in real life that I've stalked on Facebook.

I got to meet the great Bill Murray. His son was a graduate assistant for the men's basketball team at U of Arizona while I was there as a grad assistant as well.

I met Juvenile in college when he came and performed at one of our party's. I had to set it all up so talking to him and his boys was fun, but sort of like that Soulja Boy experience, though he showed and tore it up. Had to let him know how much 400 degreez molded me during my youth...

The most recent would be in DC a few weeks back. Stayed at the Madison and it was the weekend of the White House Correspondent's dinner, so tons of actors/actresses were at the hotel.

Only two I spoke with were Josh Radnor and Giancarlo Esposito.

I saw Radnor when he was getting out of the taxi and hit him with the "Hey, Ted Mosby". He just laughed and said hello and walked into the hotel.

I told Esposito that he was the scariest person I have stood next to and he laughed. Said he gets it a lot. Such a good actor and was in a full suit, so looked exactly like he does on Breaking Bad. Nice guy.

Haven't really met any celebrities.

I'd like to meet John Goodman, Bill Murray, Anthony Bourdain, Harrison Ford (but he seems like a highly functioning retard in interviews), and Tarantino.

I do too, but I'd just want to talk about his movies and I don't think he likes talking about them.
