Have You Met a Star?

[Cozmo]

Worked with the Newsboys, DC Talk, Twila Paris, Steven Curtis Chapman, Melody Green, Jaci Velasquez, Kevin Prosch, etc.

Besides them I've mainly met wrestlers while growing up because my dad was a HUGE fan and had to drag us to all the wrestling events.

Bob Backlund
Hulk Hogan
Chief Jay Strongbow
Tony Garea
Larry Zebysko(sp?)
Billy Graham (the wrestler)
The Animal and Captain Lou Albano
The Iron Shiek (nicest wrestler I ever met)
And on, and on, and on....

Emmitt Smith lives a few blocks away from us.




God bless!

Forgot to mention Don Henley, but he was visiting a dieing family member so it wasn't like a person really wanted to shoot the breeze.




God bless!

I'm sure this will please the Indian members of Christian forums.

The year is 2001. It was a cold November night in London's Leicester Square. I always hesitate to go into central London by tube when its 10 or 15 miles away from where i once lived, but on this night, I did anyway. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity in the freezing winds outside, I finally got a chance to meet the Bollywood mega star - - Shah Rukh Khan!
Wehay! Needless to say, the Indian mega star is actually rather petite in real life, but who cares, I got the chance to shake hands with him!! No autographs though! Darn...

I haven't met any famous people yet. Although, I would have met the whole band "Third Day", but they decided to go to London instead of my hometown in US. Oh well...one day...I would really like to met J.K Rowling though. It is one of my life goals. Lets hope I don't get to old to fast. Lol.

Well, I don't know if this counts, but when I was like 5, I got my picture taken with Gordon from Sesame Street.

I was also darn near run over by Troy Aikman. I was at the Byron Nelson practise one year and after all the pros got to check out the course, they had a Celeb/Pro tourny. The first group was supposed to be Emmitt Smith, Mike Modano, Phil Mickelson and Troy Aikman. Well, everybody but Troy was there and ready to go. Everybody's looking for him and wondering where he was at. Well, all of a sudden, this guy slams into me and I rock forward almost falling to the ground. I was thinking, Geez, what a jerk. I watched the guy that pushed me walk through the crowd out of the corner of my eye. Then he emerges from the crowd and it was Troy. But that doesn't count, does it?

Years ago I met Gregory Hines while he was filming a movie in our city. He was really nice to the fans who came to watch the filming. I think Robin Givens was there also but she didn't talk to us.

 

[Archangel]

I meet Mark Hoppus from Blink 182. We snuck in backstage and found him. He's actually really tall!

Patrick Swayze lives down the street from me. I see him checking his mail sometimes.

 

[invisiblemoses]

I met Roger Ebert while walking down the street in downtown Chicago. I said, "Hi how you doin'?" Ebert said, "fine and you?". I told him "fine thanks." Short and sweet...neither of us even stopped walking...lol

Comedian and diet guru Dick Gregory came into a Hallmark store where I worked while in college. I got his autograph on a card envelope.

I met R&B singer Keith Sweat while waiting for an elevator at a music seminar for aspiring singers and producers about 11 years ago. He looked my way so I said, "What's up man?" he said "What's up?".

I saw Berry Gordy at Office Depot once....and McCauley Culkin was in front of me and my then girlfriend in line in a downtown toy store (he was about 12 and he and his two friends each pulled out these huge moneyrolls and bought supersoakers! A half hour later they were in front of us again in line at Walgreens.)

I have not only gotten to meet, but am great friends with Bill Sparks, he's not known around the country, but hes a big star in my circle, he is now retired, but was a former Latin Champion (1st place) at Ohio Star Ball (biggest ballroom competition in North America) for 4 years, and I got to take lessons from him for about a year before we moved, but I still chat with him on aim, email, and I see him at competition, hes really one of the nicest guys I have ever met in my life, he is one of the people in my life (including family) who really put me on the right path, that is... the path of Christ

 

[MrDude]

I've met Chuck Norris and his extremely attractive wife. (God has blessed that man)

I've met Emmitt Smith, a few times actually. Now he's a good guy. One of my all time favorite players. Though I'm biased because I'm a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan.

 

[SUNSTONE]

I have a chance at being a star.
I'm going to make a film once all the pieces fall into place.
I'm going to be a writer/director.....editor and producer.

I can make a film for about 2 thousand(not including my camera, lights, grip, etc).
So hopefully I can film it this summer.
