Know Anybody Famous?

I can't really say I know anyone famous unless you count Tom Griswold from Bob & Tom (it's a radio show hosted in my state, I think it gets played in other states but I'm not really sure).

Oliver North
Henry Rollins
A lot of local Baltimore actors from The Wire
Howie Day (might have bought him beer several times when we was touring under age)
All the members of Better Than Ezra
Bela Fleck
Poe (The singer)
Robert Duval (via my grandmother)
Kevin Costner (again, via my grandmother)
Joe Theisman (Grew up next to him - he used to come to my little league games)


I've met Bono, Anthony Edwards, and Paul Simon a couple of times each at various charity events.

Sharon Isbin, Christopher Parkening, Manuel Barrueco, Elliot Fisk, David Tannenbaum, Philip Hii, Scot Tenant, Andrew York.

Well they're famous if you're into classical guitar.

I know the current Miss Florida, she's very nice and dating a baseball player on the Colorado Rockies. Also, I think I went to a party with Kristen Stewart, though it probably wasn't her, or it could have been and I just insulted her while she was using a pseudonym.
 
Met a few danish celebrities. But its doubtfull anyone on GAF knows them. Besides Viggo Mortensen.

Im not acquaintated with them either.
 
I gave a tour to a Korean actress who went by the name 'Sunny'. I never saw any of her stuff, but all of the Korean girls I know have heard about her. Maybe Korea-gaf knows about her?
 
I went to primary school with Alice Eve.

Not that she'd remember. I was better mates with her brother, Jack. Went to their house and met their awesome parents and everything!

I remember she was the first person I ever heard use the phrase "bullshit", and she politely took time to explain to me what it meant. Good times.

Ive posted on here before, but I will again. My dad grew up with Harvey, when they were in their 20's, harvey approached my dad and asked if he wanted to get into the movie industry and start a company up. My dad declined, and harvey went on to start this movie company which you all know as miramax. My dad and harvey still keep in touch, and ive been to his house in CT a few times. But sadly my dad isnt worth the 100 million he would like to be, if you bring up the story to him, he will leave the room lol.

This is the type of thing that will eat at you until the day you die.

Getting over it fully is near impossible. The amount of strength necessary is crazy.

You are an even luckier man than the man I previously deemed lucky.
 
I know Gary Whitta and not through GAF. I also consider Conan O'Brien and Nathan Fillion to be practically family.

At times it can be bad. I remember seeing "no country for old men" (i think it was that movie) and miramax flashed across the screen, and i hear him say "jesus christ, this is going to haunt me forever" lmao.
 
Why would I tell GAF if I knew anyone famous?... Also, no I don't. (Pierre Trudeau was pretty close to my extended family, joined family dinners and such, but I never met him myself as my dad was estranged from his family until after Trudeau died)

Oh and my dad worked with Lucas Black and Peter Coyote when they were shooting a movie together in my shitty hometown. I only vaguely met them, but my dad got along really well with both of them.

The pirate man himself. I'd love to meet him. I kind of met Tannenbaum. He's a funny guy. Meeting Barrueco would be cool, since listening to him late at night got me into transcriptions.

Oh ok, makes sense.

WAIT, FRANK O CONNOR?!

The only game developer I've met is the guy from Media Molecule (Alex Evans), saw him out of an Inception screening in London IMAX.
