My mom's side of the family was heavily involved in dance (with my grandmother founding the only professional ballet company in Arkansas, and my mom managing a dance store with some higher profile clients, before eventually moving to theater), so I ended up meeting many famous dancers growing up, although I pretty much only specifically remember Savion Glover, Gene Kelly (less than a year before his death) and Mario Lopez.

When I was 8, I met Stan Lee at a comic book convention I went to with my brother and his wife. They did a drawing to see who would get autographs from Stan Lee, and I remember my brother cheating to make sure all three of us got autographs. Before the signing, I was able to meet him, chat for a bit, and get a picture.

Spoiler

That picture is now lost to time... =(

Well go on then.

I got fired from Californication for walking into one of the actor's dressing room without knocking first (I had walked with him to set, thought the room was empty) found him getting his knob polished by the craft service girl. fucking unreal.

My favorite job I've ever worked on was probably this:
http://youtu.be/L9rUn2YchOY

We had a 3 man team, and we had 7 days of prep to make all the custom uniforms (we made over 40! not to mention all the background wardrobe). Most of the video/ad campaign was shot over 8 horridly hot days in August in Las Vegas. It was the only place we could get all the ballers in the same place at once.

The last night of shooting the whole cast and crew went out together for dinner and drinks. Had a fucking blast, danced all night and got shit hammered, watched Durant and Kareem Abdul Jamaar's son blow like 45g's in 10 minutes at the blackjack table. So fun, so lucky i got to experience it.

Supposedly Scarlet Johannson was suppose to enter my school one year below mine. She became too big though. Notable famous graduates include Wesley Snipes and Moby. I'm forgetting someone else. Anyone listened to Jenny Owen Youngs? Went to my school as well. She rejected on my advances at a party even.

He fired you for watching the craft girl fix his door nob? What an asshole!

One of my friends met Robin Williams. Williams was in a bookstore looking at the hentai section. Then he and my friend stared at each other, and my friend left.

 

[Count Dookkake]

I've had sex in and on a few Columbia buildings.


Go Violets!

 

[Alucrid]

Utada Hikaru is godlike at Tetris.

WAAAAAIT. I actually know this women then. A friend from high school was incredible at Tetris and on the DS version he maxed out the score and he said a J-pop star did as well. Well I guess that's who it was.

 

[Red]

Huh... celebrity encounters? When I was 1 my mom barged onto the set of Goodfellas with me and snapped some pictures of De Niro and Joe Pesci.

Isn't he really into Neon Genesis Evangelion or something?

 

[AiTM]

Im in!

 

[Pau]

Damn, so many girl-gaf artists! Lissar and H.Protagonist, do you guys have any examples of your work?

Ya know, I don't really care how odd the circumstances are, I REALLY would love to meet Robin Williams.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Buying...?

No, he just looked around, and walked out. LOL.

 

[Leeness]

Girl-GAF artists! I'm just not very good, haha.

 

[Professor Beef]

He's apparently into manga a lot from what little I've heard. That's also not the first time that particular friend met Williams, but it's the most interesting story he has.

 

[Puddles]

I wish I could draw. I'm quite terrible at it.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

I stood in front of Alex Trebek in line at an airport in Seattle once. That's my only celebrity encounter.

 

[Count Dookkake]

No, he just looked around, and walked out. LOL.

Back in my retail days, I helped John Turturro find a game as Christmas present for his kid.

 

[Emitan]

I'm not very good and then people like ChetRippo make fun of me.

[Ryaaan14]

I said hello to Patrick Swayze when I was out having a smoke and he was walking his dogs.

I used to think I could draw but then as I grew older I just realized I reached average drawing abilities at a younger age. Been disappointed ever since.

 

[Nintendoll]

My boss fired me, not knocking before you enter someone's dressing room is a total end game scenario :/

 

[jasonng]

Now that I'm very envious of. John Turturro is such an underrated actor. What game did you helped him picked?

 

[Takao]

Utada Hikaru is godlike at Tetris.

Utada is godlike at lofting. She hasn't made a new KH theme song since like 2005 because it takes work making a song flow in both Japanese and English.

I met a few famous people. David Blaine, Chuck Close, Jeremy Sisto, Anthony Anderson, Tawakkul Karman, and Utada

I farted near the breathing tubes when David Blaine was buried underground in Central Park.

Jealous of the bolded.

 

[Lissar]

Yeah, I have a few examples right over here.

Like I said, it's been awhile though... thinking about it is really making me want to pick it up again. Last thing I was working on was that Alice WIP I worked on while I was playing the game. Maybe I should finish it.

Sounds about right for Californication. Sucks you got fired though.

Have you made any outfits/wardrobe for shows or movies?

Her dad (who is her manager) said something about not making a new KH song cause they wouldn't pay for it loool
I think everyone can figure out I'm a huge Utada stan... DX

I was on the set of Zombieland and I kissed Emma Stone's hand. She told me I had old school manners.

Chuck Close is a really cool person He came to my job for this TV show he was doing and I got featured in it as well.

[lazybones18]

Can't really say I've met someone famous...unless you count taking pics with VAs at an anime convention and asking Bruce Campbell and Peter Weller questions at a comic book convention

 

[Count Dookkake]

Have not met McCain, but I have hung out with his daughter.

I have also crop-dusted Karl Rove.

 

[Emitan]

I have also crop-dusted Karl Rove.

For a second I forgot what that meant and assumed it was sexual. And then I remembered and was relieved.
