What famous people have you/your family met?
I once had an ex-world champion weight lifter as a substitute teacher, strange fellow.
And my dad shook the hand of the aforementioned Prime Minister (Stephen Harper)

I saw a live theatre play of Patrick Stewart doing "A Christmas Carol" if that counts.
I ran into and spoke to Jan, from "The Office," and almost tripped over her toddler kids.
Uhh, had my picture taken with the yellow and black rangers from the original power rangers when I was a child?

My uncle is Wolf.

Coincidentally I met all of the seventh season Gladiators.

I've also met some of the guys who work on White Dwarf, though I can't remember who. Since I don't actually read it.
