Me and my dad went to see the Harlem Globetrotters. At half-time we stepped out so my dad could smoke a cigarette and one of the Harlem Globetrotters came over and bummed a cigarette off my dad.

I also saw Vincent Price give a talk at a college and afterward he was in the library meeting the students and I was standing right next to him but I couldn’t get up the nerve to talk to him.

I met Kurt Noveselic when I was 18. He was super nice and down to earth. Didn’t have a speck of the typical snotty famous person in his being.

I also met Doug Bradley, the British actor who played Pinhead in the Hellraiser movies.

I’ve met several musicians when I was younger. It wasn’t a huge deal at the time cause they weren’t huge celebrities at the time, just people who were touring.

I’ve lived in both NYC and LA, and crossed paths with lots of celebrities in both.

Al Pacino is really nice, and seems to think I am cute.

Yeah I was raised in a “celebrity” town close to NYC.
I’ve met tons of celebrities.

I shook Kevin Bacons hand, lived across the street from a famous soap opera star, met Rob Reiner, sat next to Alex Winter in high school home room, he was either Bill or Ted in the famous movies.
I met Boomer Esiason, the famous NFL quarterback.
I met various famous people over the years from NHL hockey players to various NFL players. I just forgot their names.

Knew Buster Merryfield (Uncle Albert from from Only Fools and Horses) - he lived on the private estate in East Preston, here in Sussex.

Used to do his gardening as a teen (his wife sang at my mums church) - house was amazing, literally had a basement swimming pool you could walk down too.

Was very generous later on in life to his carers - Funnily enough his voice was very much old school “posh” not the cockney on the tv.
