I've met Alan Tudyk and Summer Glau(Wash and River in Firefly) at a convention at the mall over here.
They were pretty friendly, I managed to get a 7 or so minute conversation out of them.

Depends what you define famous as.

Someone in two of my grade 10 classes (whom I talked to quite often), was on a Canadian National Junior Hockey Team which won a gold medal in Sweden this year, and he was one of the better players on the team. He was on lots of national TV interviews and a few local ones as well.

Plus I'm sure he's going to be in the NHL within the next few years.

[Rapstah]

I'm related to this guy, but i haven't really met anyone.

He's dead btw

 

[Loke]

Robert Wells when he played at my school years ago, 2 times actually. Best memory was, when in high school, someone from the audience threw loads of rotten eggs on the stage (some missed and hit a few people that was sitting near the stage) while he was playing the piano. He went ****ing crazy when one egg landed just inches away.

The complete silence that occurred was pretty damn scary.

 

[Dynasty]

wait.... your dad owns wild wadi ???

Yeah he was the managing director at the time. ownED is more like it you could say.

 

[CyberPitz]

I wish I had a rich uncle..I'd always ask for him to donate money to me, and I'd say I'd go to the press and say what a nice man he is.

 

[Mattigus]

Know how Carol King is?

Unless your 40 or older, you probably said no.

Carol King was a very well known singer-songwriter in the 70s. My uncle plays guitar for her now, so I see her every so often. That's pretty much my only celebrity connection.
