I remember meeting Gerard Depardieu in Marseille 3 years ago while playing petanque in the park with some old timers.

He is probably one of the more entertaining alcoholics I have ever met. He joined us for an unforgettable evening of petanque, robbed the old timers of their pocket money.

Drunk out of his mind he was an expert player.

I also once had a brief encounter with sports reporter Tony Kornheiser at a Washington D.C. while eating sorbetto di Limone at a parlor. He made fun of my being vertically challenged and I commented on his baldness.

I've met several celebrities. I had a beer with Kurt Angle at CVG airport. I met Edinson Volquez at a Hooters. And I've worked with a few pretty famous comedians.

I've met quite a few in my day. Most recently Mick Foley and Reba (not at the same time, but would've been awesome if it had been).

Paula Deen in 2008. Changed that back to my Facebook photo a week ago just to see what reaction it would get.

Dave Attell came into the Eddie Bauer store at Easton this past February. He asked if we had any larger backpacks. We did not. He reeked of cigarettes.

I saw Clinton from 'What not to wear' walking down a street in Manhattan.

The band Incubus went canoeing in my hometown back in the 90's. Only caught a glimpse of them

I was on "It's Academic" twice - (Channel 5, Cleveland, quiz show for HS kids) so I met Don Webster. He was kind of a dick

That's all. Pretty weak list, I know

Roger Moore (James Bond) & Richard Kiel (Jaws) in the Atlanta airport lounge...that Kiel was one big dude. Met Anthony Munoz at Mason High School once, and Cris Carter out in the parking lot at the OSU/Toledo game at Browns Stadium.

Former Vice President Dan Quayle and Mrs. Marilyn Quayle are probably the most famous people I've spent time with.

Met Vanna White in an elevator at the Hyatt Hotel in Columbus.

Met Lou Rawls in an elevator at the San Francisco Hilton Hotel.

Was standing on a sidewalk next to the Washington Monument in DC when a black limo pulled up and Billy Bob Clinton stepped out to wave at everyone. Does that count? lol

Met Lisa Whelchel (Blair of the old sitcom Facts of Life) at a trade show in Anaheim, CA.

The only celebrities I've ever met are the UK players that have gone to the NBA since 2009, plus Nazr Mohammed. I've met or played with all of them except Bledsoe.

True story, I once literally knocked over Dustin Hoffman at a bar in the Upper West Side of NYC ... he was totally cool about it and I helped him up and he laughed it off, really nice guy. Have also met Will Smith (when he was filming "I am Legend"), Kevin Smith (rode in the back seat of a car with him, he was our keynote at our annual conference), and Drea D'Mateo (Ariana from Sopranos). Have seen dozens of celebrities in NYC, ranging from Tim Robbins to Paul Rudd to Heidi Klum to Carmen Electra.

Jon Voight eats dinner at my house every so often as has Liam Neeson. I've met the last 3 presidents as well as the 3 richest men in ohio, some friendly, some not. I met Lebron and Dwade last year at the OSU vs Duke game and Lebron on a yacht with his buddy Maverick and his gf/wife. Dwade had a friendly facade but Lebron is always douchey. Nice gf. Runs his empire. Met a bunch of OSU coaches including UM, Tressel, Jim O' Brian and Matta. Matta gave me his tie and Tressel a sweater vest from OSU vs ND game. Had dinner with Michael Owen once, he was injured then too. Got a high 5 from Ringo Star way back in the day and have a picture with Paul McCartney and whoever the drummer is of his band. Was most excited for the drummer. Got a kiss on the cheek from Mandy Moore and met all the bastards in Nsync. Those are my most memorable.


Hope that had a similar feel to a Dr. Heinz post.
