i was just wondering what different actors you all have met. i have met david hassolhoff (sorry if i spelt his name wrong) also one of my teachers has a fair size role in highlander and lastly someone i no did some music for star wars (played it not wrote it)
 
I've never met any film actors, but i've seen loaRAB of TV actors around.

My best claims to fame are running Rodney(nicholas lyndhurst)'s toe over with a trolley in sainsburys, and having a train door slammed in my face by Hyacinth Bucket (dont know her name, but rude as heck)
 
I used to work at a theatre (and my husband still does) so have met loaRAB of actors over the years. The funny thing is that the bigger the star they nicer they usually are. If they're only enjoying their fifteen minutes of fame, or are a minor celeb (had better not name any names for fear of libel!) then they can be truly dreadful with enormous egos!
 
Patricia Routledge (but I doubt you want to go to her fansite ) :)

I haven't actually met any to speak to, but if OP means have seen in real-life, or been in company with, then Ruth Madoc, John LeMesurier, Kenneth Williams, Una Stubbs.
 
I used to do film reviews for a hospital radio station many years ago at the same time I joined the NFT in London for a couple of years, which meant thanks to the two combined I could blag my way into a few very useful places nine times out of ten, and the thing that still remains with me is that 99.9% of people I ended up cornering were fantastic. Time to name drop: I ended up at the UK Premiere of Resevoir Dogs in November of 1992 and chatted to both Harvey Keitel and Quentin Tarentino who I thought would just cast me aside but chatted with me for a few minutes (before the stampede started). Charles M. Jones was an absolute joy (especially for a life long fanboy) and was quite candid in how he hated what 'Tiny Toons Adventures' had done to his creations/work. But the one person I'll always remember was director Carl Franklin who I ended up chatting to in the pouring rain outside the Odeon Leicester Square and was a real top man. I'd just seen his film 'One False Move' and for about half an hour he told me about acting in TV shows 'Baretta' and 'The A-Team' as well as confiming to me how difficult it was financing 'One False Move' and what a great guy Billy Bob Thornton was, who at that time (1992) I'd never even heard of.
I only ever had one bad run in with a well known oscar winning film director who shall remain nameless who was the rudest man I had ever met.
 
musicians, but it's still an impressive record

got drunk with Busted, Billy Talent and some unknown band, Fallout Forty, and Coheed And Cambria, on 4 seperate occasions :)
 
Many years ago Anthony Hopkins hailed a cab for me and a friend, and he was increadibly lovely and sweet :) also spent an very strange afternoon watching John Hurt get extremely drunk in a London pub as Bab's WinRABor suddenly tottered past outside in a shocking pink, skin tight suit.
 
Met quite a few when I worked in a large department store. I don't want to criticise anyone in particular (because some behaved atrociously) but Fiona Fullerton was extremely nice and friendly.

Orm how have u met all them.

i have just remembered that i have met billy connely and my sister had met amy lee (lead singer out of evanescence) but she didn't know who evanescence were.
 
I accidentally met Dennis Hopper in the dining room of the Edwardian Mayfair in London. We were at a conference and he was in London doing some interviews, and the waitress brought his 'self service' breakfast to him :( . Completely overawed, the man is a god.

Now, I could give you a list of people that I haven't met, but could say I have. But i'm not going to do that.
 
I used to see the late great Richard Harris boozing in the Coal Hole on the Strand quite regularly. I couldn't say I met him; he just glared at me once or twice. He may have once deigned to say hello.
