I did a scene with Jenna Jameson and Jesse Jane in Los Angeles. Can't see my face clearly in the scenes.

Sat next to Fred Taylor on a flight back from Nassau a few years back. Super cool dude and talked the whole way.

Asked him about Spurrier. He told me a story about his freshman year at UF. Said they kept trying to run a pitch play and Fred couldn't make the corner. Then they ran it again and he fumbled. Spurrier called him over to the side and Fred said "my bad coach". Spurrier was like "No son, it's our bad. We're the ones who recruited your arse."

Worked at the Georgia Theatre in Athens from 92-96. Got to party with many famous musicians backstage after shows.

Dave Matthews band members.
Funky Meters band members

Many others like Drivin N Cryin but these were two of the more well known.

Knew the WSP members very good and worked with Todd Nance wife at Uptown Lounge.

Micheal Stipe and Mike Mills from REM.

Working at Uptown Lounge I hung out with Garrison Hearst a good bit as he was one of my co workers good buddies.

My best friend from HS wife's sister was married to Ron Gant. They married when he was a Brave but I new him when he got traded to Philly. Went with my friend to his New Years Eve parties at his home in Alpharetta, Ga for 4 years and played golf with him several times.

Knew Kirby Smart from a hunting club back when he was a DB coach at Valdosta State.

I have spent time with many like this but never anyone that would blow anybody's mind like Bono or say Mick Jagger.

I drove Charles Durning from Jackson to Vicksburg as well as helped bring his belongings into his hotel room.

Picked up Roger Deakins' wife from the airport and drove her to her rental house.

Had a pleasant conversation with Holly Hunter as I walked her to her rental car.

Chilled in the transportation office while George Clooney and his assistant/friend talked business (Clooney loves Powerbars). Clooney later repeated (mocked) me on set after I said something about a po-boy.

Tim Blake Nelson did his best to ignore me.

John Turturro watched me in a trailer as I bummed a free haircut from the set hairstylist.

Gary Grubbs graciously suffered my foolishness during a phone conversation.

Discussed business with Tara Reid's brother by phone.

Hung with Kool and the Gang's bassist during a fundraising event.

Probably more, but those are the ones who come to mind right now.

Frank Gifford. I hung out with him all one afternoon. We lived next door to one of his old teammates, and my dad and I went over and met him when he came to visit one time.

I was a year old, so I don't remember any of it

Ed helms was a disappointment when I met him at an after party. Although I was drunk and highly obnoxious. I think he got tired of hearing 'nard dog' after the 15th time.
