I've always told people that if I met or ran into some extraordinarily famous actor/actress (like a Tom Hanks, Leo DiCaprio, or George Clooney), I'd reference some extremely random movie from early in their career as how I know them, which is a great way to make a memorable impression.

If I met Tom Hanks, my response would be "hey, aren't you that guy from Joe Versus The Volcano?!"

Hanks was on The Nerdist podcast not too long ago and he said those were the fan interactions he got a kick out of the most.

I'm traveling with Tom Cruise. I can't stand him but he gives the Scientology cult millions so there's no way they're letting his dumbass off the radar for long.

The man can't even relax when he is home. Have you seen his neighbors?

I tried that once with good results. A few years ago, I ran into William Shatner, who is known for be a prima donna. Anyway, I didn't say a damn thing about Star Trek and just said "I thought you were great in "Judgement at Nuremburg." He got a big ol' smile and talk for about five minutes about how great that cast was (and it was a great cast - Spencer Tracy, William Lancaster, Judy Garland, Werner Klemperer, Marlene Dietrich, etc.) and seemed genuinely please I didn't tell him to live long and prosper.

Funny movie. Underrated by those who rate it too low.

I know he's been very successful and has had profitable movies but to me he's a terrible actor
