I've met the guys from Pearl Jam, Ben Folds Five, Ash, and a bunch of Australian musicians and actors that no one's probably heard of. A few authors like Terry Pratchett and Frank McCourt and a ton of Star Wars actors and technical people.

I never really met a famous person,but I've seen live and in the flesh pro wrestlers Bret Hart,Macho Man Randy Savage,and Rowdy Roddy Piper,George Carlin,and Al Gore.
If you've ever seen Roger And Me,the woman who was Miss Michigan in that movie who went on to become Miss America came to my elementary school when I was in the third grade. She gave a karate demonstration and hugged my brother,who was a grade behind me.
My parents met Tom Wopat and my dad met Dennis Rodman at a Detroit bar when he was with the Detroit Pistons.

I once met Sonny Shroyer (aka deputy Enos Strait) from Dukes of Hazzard. Does he count?
Of course he does! Dukes of Hazzard is like the greatest show ever! To me anyway, I highly doubt a lot of other people agree with me...

I met Martin Sheen when I was working on the set of Babylon 5. It was a Babylon 5 tv movie they were making for TNT called 'Well of Souls' or something. Anyway, I got placed on set, and then this diminuitive alien turns around to greet me. Imagine my surprise to discover that this actor, in the trippy alien make-up, is Martin Sheen. He said, "Hi, I'm Martin", and it hit me. I was taken aback and just greeted him back. Let me be the one to tell you he's the nicest guy in the world. He went out of his way to meet everybody on that set. 
BTW, Jeff Conaway gave a loud "F U!" to the director that day. later, he gave a big apology to everyone. His dog had to be put to sleep over the weekend.

Well, a I once met the Republican candidate for governor a few years ago...
My picture was in the newspaper with him.
I also have met my sister, three time Miss America title holder...
That is local titles.
Miss Northern New Mexico 2000,
Miss West Mesa 2001,
and Miss Northern New Mexico 2002.
She didn't win Miss New Mexico this year.
I know a guy that runs a popular camp down in Capitan.
Hmm.
I once met the kid that used to play Derek in Barney the Dinosaur, but that was a dream. A really weird one. I've never even been to a circus. And why he was riding a huge really fast mery-go-round with only one seat is beyong me. No horses either. I'm confuzzled by my dreams.
