I saw Graham Stark (LoadingReadyRun) on the bus

[Folji]

Well, doubt it was really Graham Stark, unless he suddenly decided to take a trip to the western shores of Norway in the middle of December, but I still saw this guy on the city bus not long ago here in Bergen, Norway who was an absolute dead ringer for him!

You hear that, Graham? You've got a Norwegian Doppelgänger!

Who else here have suddenly and unexpectedly run into a known person's lookalike (no matter how widely known), or maybe even the real deal?

I saw Myron Cope on a bus once. Not too unusual, as he announced for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I saw LL Cool J once on a school bus. He was obviously not on the school bus, but in one of those ridiculously tiny and expensive cars next to us. Running into celebrities isn't too crazy in the suburbs of NYC. My sister has seen: Darryl McDaniels (from Run-DMC), and Queen Latifah. Both of them own(ed) homes somewhere in my town.

That's pretty neat, though! The voice of a sportscaster is one of those things that tons of people will have heard at one point or another, no matter whether they actually know whose voice it is. :b

Heh yeah, tell me about it. Spent two weeks in NYC earlier this year, and even if I can't say I ran into anyone I could recognize myself there was more than one moment where small groups of people were pointing at someone in a "hey isn't that..." kind of way, hehe.

I once thought I saw Keen and Peele in a car behind me on the freeway. It turned out not to be them. I spent a dangerous amount of time trying to figure it out though.

About a year ago I was at some convention in Chicago, and I shit you not I saw some guy who looked exactly like Matt Damon. Don't know if it was actually him, but I do know that he looked like Damon when he was in The Adjustment Bureau.

 

[Zanderinfal]

Once I saw a guy called Shotzvlogs at Pizza Hut. Although, one could easily make that mistake granted, well... his weight. But I swear to you, he looked exactly like him, he was even wearing green!

I once met 8-bit Mickey from channel awesome at a convention, waiting to get into a hotel room and trying to convince a drunk girl not to attempt to fuck him. I don't know whether this was a course of action dictated by his morals, or simply because she was trying to engage in the sex while stuck in the hallway

Pat Thetic, the drummer from Anti-Flag. I knew it couldn't be him, but I really had to turn my head when I saw the guy.

More amazing was running into Tim McIlrath from Rise Against since that was actually him. I exchqnged a few words, told him he was awesome and got a high five. Best day EVER!

I saw Brian May up close once, he was just walking down the streets of London where I was visiting a friend at the time and yeah pretty awesome seeing the legendary guitarist of Queen.

 

[Gregg Lonsdale]

"Look Brian, three rows down. Is that Tom Bosley?"
"What would Tom Bosley be doing on a train in Switzerland?"

I see Patrick Stewart around the village occasionally. He keeps a house on the moor my family tends.

I was mistaken for Daniel Radcliffe by an overexcited obese woman. Though, to be fair to her, he was known to be in the village at the time.

You see a lottttt of famous people working in central London. I keep seeing some guy who looks exactly like Kevin Bacon though and it's making me seriously question my sanity.

I did see Stephen Fry though. The real one. I think he lives or works near my office or something, I see him quite often.

Noddy Holder from Slade once came and talked to me in a guitar shop in Manchester. He said he thought the guitar I was trying had a good sound and I ended up buying it. My dad was there as well and since he's a massive Slade fan he was basically speechless. To be honest I was basically speechless as well.

When I used to live in Victoria, I saw him on the bus twice, saw him in the park once, and ran into the LRR crew at the movie theater on at least one occassion...

I once served Paloma Faith a bag of crisps at the bar I work at.

I've also been on the same plane as Kanye West.

My school is employing Gordon Freeman. He talks a lot more than I thought, though.
