I know some of us bump into actors and the like all the time (conventions) but in real life?

What prompted this is, today, while I was at the grocery store, I encountered a moderately known actor. Namely, Luis Guzmán. He has a home here in VT but it's about 40 miles from me, so bumping into him at the grocery store was kind of unexpected.

About 18 years ago, I met Bill Murray when he stopped into the car dealership where I worked to get a part for his Jeep.

Back in high school, Robert Romanus (Damone from Fast Times at Rigemont High) posed for pictures with the cast of the production of the Wiz my school was doing.

Anyone else have an encounter like this?

I ran into Yoko Ono at a booksale a couple years ago. She's kind of pushy.

Drew Barrymore literally ran into me at a deli last summer.

More than a few...put myself through college as a make-up artist and ended up working on my share of lower budget movies filmed in Utah.
Wilford Brimley is an ASS!! He's rude, unkind, and just generally unpleasant
Bruce Campbell is the sweetest guy you'll ever meet. So polite and knows everyone on the crew. Very charming!
Donald Pleasance is very sweet but highly distracted
Paul Rudd is just one of the guys and hangs more with the crew than the other actors.
My brother worked Sundance and his one major brush with an actor was Johnny Depp whom he says is just really nice.

It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

Saw Mark Hamill behind the building where he was doing Elephant Man, AND at a comic convention,
Met Chris Reeve backstage after Fifth Of July (he was so gracious), Had drinks with James Doohan at a hotel bar during a con (funny guy, REALLY funny), had Marina Sirtis yell at me for taking her picture when she wasn't expecting it...that's all I can think of for now...

My only one is that I sold MC Hammer a tie and didn't even know it until after he left and one of my coworkers told me.

OH! I used to work in Blimpie*s in Hempstead Long Island in '82 & made Eddie Murphy sandwiches every Saturday at 3am after the show. HE was a riot.

I met Bob Denver (Gilligan) back in the 90's, it was cool beacuse he was wearing his Gilligan's hat. He was very nice, he stuck around long enough for hello's but the meeting only lasted about a minute.
