Other than the few celebs I've talked to on FB, I went to school for a few years with former NBA player Adonal Foyle, and Brothers And Sisters actor Dave Annabal went to my college.

I've met a few celebrities but I'll save those for another time. I went to high school with, and was at one time friends, with Paula from The Real World. My brother publicly knocked out James Van Der Beek back in high school. My brother's girlfriend at the time was active in a community theater in Cheshire, CT (one town away from us). She played the role of Sandy when the group performed Grease and James Van Der Beek played the role of Danny. Apparently Sandy and Danny decided to hook up for real off stage and when my brother found out about it he walked up to him and punched him in the face after the show. And then a few years later that dude had his own TV show. So he kinda won. Is that what inspired A**hole For Hire?

I went to high school with, and was at one time friends, with Paula from The Real World. Same here, but I think I've seen her twice since college. (We both went to Quinnipiac, but didn't really hang out there either.) My ex-girlfriend/current friend's second cousin was an integral part of YOUR WORLD SERIES CHAMPION SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS. I'll let you guess which position player. Also, if we're talking work, I was working the drive-thru at Boston Market 12 years ago when the manager served Maura Tierney inside. She must've been in town for the local PGA tournament (which has gone through about a quintillion sponsors since then).

My second cousin once-removed is Matt Light from the New England Patriots. I've also had a boatload of classes with his younger brother who was a grade ahead of me during the grade school years.

My dad knew Bob Heil, who worked as a sound engineer for Peter Frampton. He also met Joe Walsh.
My grandfather and aunt were once on Jay Leno and he did one of those audience skits with her. She was also an extra in a few movies and was in a Kathy Mattea video.
I saw Bill Clinton when he rode the Presidential Train through my town.
That's it.

My grandfather's cousin was a Golden Gloves boxer who once took a dive against Rocky Marciano.
I've talked to David Young (formerly of TNA's Diamonds in the Rough) at an indy show.

One of my high school teachers was the brother of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
I was once the boss of Orel Hershiser's son.

My great-great-grandmother used to live on the same street as Bonnie's parents of Bonnie & Clyde fame. Apparently, they used to come by quite often.

Trevor Linden is my 3rd cousin.
My ex-roommate has a personal vendetta against Chevy Chase. She worked at a resort he was staying at, apparently he loved to smoke cigars, but hated the smell on his clothes and insisted they be cleaned of any trace of cigar smell and would send them back if he found any hint of odor.

Trevor Linden is my 3rd cousin. That's pretty awesome. I remember that a poster by the name of Error told me that his aunt married former Anaheim Mighty Ducks Defenseman/Enforcer Dave Karpa for a while in the mid 90s. As for me, well, I've lived in Hollywood my whole life, so I've probably seen a lot of celebrities here and there, but never really paid attention enough to care or remember, but a few of the encounters I do remember were having Chris Pontius of Jackass fame walk into my local Office Depot with a really pist off look on his face and locking eyes with Quentin Tarantino while he was eating dinner and I was walking by at a restaurant not to far from where I live.

My Elementary School gym teacher's son is Jonathan Groff, Tony-nominated actor for Spring Awakening. He also starred in Taking Woodstock and Glee. He also went to the High School I graduated from, but I'm next to positive he graduated before I became a freshmen.
I've also met William Regal & Eugene at a signing. Regal was really nice!

My Grandma partied with Elvis at Graceland a few times and once went on a date with Jerry Lee Lewis. She has pictures to document both.

My mom went to high school with Roy Scheider.
At a Doctor Who convention, I had Lalla Ward sit next to me and chat for a few minutes.
Ran into a bunch of wrestlers at a hotel back in '84. Hung out by the pool with Jesse Ventura and Tony Garea and Sgt Slaughter. Paul Orndorff sat at the next table in the restaurant.
