I met R. Lee Ermery in an airport. My dad and some buddies were in uniform and he came up and started talking to some of them. I didn't notice until right before he left so I barely got to say hi. He was very nice.
Richard Dawkins went to my school, so does talks there every now and again.
Rowan Atkinson's kids go there, so I've met him
Hugh Laurie was thinking about sending his kids there, so ran in to him whilst he was considering it.

John Barrowman burped in my face, I've hugged Noel Fielding and I once walked dogs with Scott Brown. Not A-Listers like you guys but they were all really cool guys.
Oh and I ran into Sean Connery in a Chippy a few years ago. The owner's got a picture of me beside him on the wall.

I met Neil Gaiman at a screening of Coraline. I've met a few bands at various concerts. The singer from Barenaked Ladies used to shop at the comic book store I worked in. And once I saw Steven Tyler in a Starbucks but I didn't talk to him because I hate Aerosmith. It was actually kind of pathetic, when a woman told him she'd never heard of him he started listing his hit singles.
Nabbed a few autographs here and there, but when i was in primary school there was a sports day thingy and Kriss Akabusi came i got my photo taken with him.
Also, anyone seen Sir Anthony Hopkins in real life? Dude is TINY.

My friend Modern Robot(not an Escapist) and I have a yearly tradition of going to Knott's Halloween Haunt and during a show Marco Khan http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0434879/ was a guest and later in the day we met him out in the park with his wife and kids. He asked if we wanted a picture with him and we didn't have a camera on us and I don't remember if we had him sign our ticket stubs.
The previous October had us interested in going to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights and my wife went with us. It started off as a complete disaster with a horrible tram based maze and a 2 hour long wait in line for the Friday The 13th maze which was ok. Then after going on the Simpson's Ride to wash our minds of what madness we dealt with Patrick Fischler http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0279209/ shows up with his friends near the starway escalator and give us their front-of-the-line passes so from then on we've had the ability to go to all the mazes, the King Kong 3D experience though getting dino slobbered was none too fun, and going on Revenge of The Mummy well before the park closed.
Other times I've met celebrities is at Frank n' Sons in the city of Walnut.

Melissa Joan Hart, when I was in middle school. My school was involved in something for Nickelodeon (I don't remember what). All I really remember about her was that she seemed very tall... but I was a short kid until I turned 15.
Anna Nicole Smith was on the same plane I took to Louisville, KY in 2003 (puddlejumper from St. Louis, MO. Not sure why they put that layover in there). I was headed to Ft. Knox for basic combat training. She was headed to the Kentucky derby. What I remember most about her was that she was drunk, fat and belligerent. She refused to sit down while the plane was landing, and her bodyguards looked very embarrassed.
A friend of mine used to work in the kitchen at the place that Art Alexakis went bowling regularly. I used to hang out there while waiting for my friend to get off work. Art seemed like a pretty normal guy, the few times I talked to him... though ironically he drank nonalcoholic beer with his meals there.
