Saw Paul Newman and a buch of drivers at an Indy car race (we had pit passes) many years ago. Met the junkyard dog as a kid. Can't think of any other sitings right now.

Let's see..it's been a while.

Kellie Martin (Becca from "Life Goes On") was in line behind me at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's gift shop with her boyfriend at the time, Scott Weinger (DJ's boyfriend Steve on "Full House").

There was somebody else but I can't think of it right now...

Been to a Fourth of July picnic at Lou Dobbs' house. Biggest cache of fireworks I've even seen in an individual's possession.

Living in Jackson all those years saw lots of celeb but I did spend a couple of days at Harrison Ford's place working, helped him do some chores like moving furniture. I was there to do a construction clean on his windows. His house was just built. Really down to Earth, smokes lots of ganga. His ex-wife, Mellissa Matheson was there. Not a real looker but super nice.

I lived in NYC and even just skiing Hunter you get to see a ton of celebs... I couldnt even begin to list...
You become celeb numb after a while...

Sat 2 people away from Jon Fishman(Phish drummer) at an Allman Brothers concert... I didn't bug him... He knew - I knew who he was... But I left him alone... He gave me a look like- thanks dude... funny..

On flights I've flown:

Dave Chappelle - seemed like a real nice guy, signed autographs and took pictures with people during the delay
Chris Burke - Corky from "Life Goes On" an 80's TV show
Ashley Judd - Hot
Darius Rucker - singer of Hootie and the Blowfish

I've also met Dave Navarro - guitarist of Jane's Addiction, he's a real small guy too.

Planes are a great place to celeb watch...
Had a chat with Rev. Run on a plane... met or ignored others....

Tony Shalhoub (Monk) was in the MRV this weekend. We were at a local restaurant and in he walked- no one made a fuss. They just gave him his space.

I grew up in a small town about an hour north of NYC. For some reason there are a lot of celebs that have vacation homes there. I worked at a local market in town and Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawk would come in every Friday during the summer between 5:30-600. She was very nice!

James Earl Jones lived in the same town and had one of those huge original Hummers. He would run people off the road big time because he took up both lanes with that damn thing. He was very nice though and made a lot of appearances at town events.

I have seen both Cindy Crawford (VERY HOT) and Sally Jesse Raphael in passing a few times.

The funniest encounter was on a shuttle bus ride a couple years back. We hopped on the bus to take us from the airport to our hotel in Reno. There was a man with sunglasses sitting in the front seat looking out the window so that nobody could see his face. I sat down next to him and was like holy crap this is Danny Glover. My jaw must’ve dropped because he looked at me, put his finger up to his mouth and said “shhhhhh”. So I sat there for the ten minute ride and said nothing. We pull into the hotel he gets up before the bus stops, looks down and says “thanks man”, hopes off the bus before it stopped rolling and booked it into the hotel. As he was running into the hotel a woman in the back of our bus screams “Oh my god it Danny Glover!” Then everyone on the bus asked me if he said anything. It was pretty funny.

I can only think of some sports ones ... I know there are others, but not coming to me now.

Bill Walton - ran into him in an elevator near the Garden, not short
Robert Parrish - was standing in line behind me at the McDs near Fenway. Kid behind the counter looked right through me and said "Hello Mr Parrish" I turned around and sure enough...the Chief was right there...he is quite tall
Luis Tiant - watched a game with him in the Legends club at Fenway
Rico Petricelli, Joe Morgan, Johnny Pesky - they were our celebrity managers for a softball game a group of us played at Fenway
