I met quite few stars of british tele when I was kid, but then my dad did work in films and tv, doing 'stunt' driving (which was just regular driving in shot really) and supplying cars, vans, buses, trucks etc as 'prop' vehicles.
We never had the same car for more than a few weeks at a time when I was a kid. Dad would come home in whatever he had been using that day. The old yellow car (betsy?) from Doctor Who was a favourite for a few months one summer, and there was a number of american cars when he was on 'superman'.....

Tom Cruise.

Stood at the front gate of BigThunderMountain, Eurodismal, France, in the month before it opened 1991? Closed for next hour or so while trains wizz round with sandbags on, my job was to send visitors politely on their way with the promise that we'd be open again soon.

Bunch of tan trenchcoats, short dark hair and shades. About twelve of them. And a french girl from guest relations, all turn up in a big group. One of the trenchcoats was somewhat vertically challenged. After some insistance in english to be let in she turned to french and asked

do you know who this is?

me 'No'

Tom Cruise!

me 'who? sorry still no'

god I am so proud of that moment! I was infamous within days as the guy who wouldn't let TC into BTM! Razz still pmsl Twisted Evil

Oh did I say Eurodismal? I did of course mean EuroDisney Confused

I got to meet the kid who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies- Rupert Grint. He came into the store at the mall I worked at and bought a punch bowl and cup set and a fake butler who help a drink tray (I worked at a holiday store called Department 56) I got his autograph for a friend of mine, who loves Harry Potter.

I also got to meet Molly Shannon recently at a movie premiere I went to. Shes from Saturday Night Live and was there promoting her movie The Year of the Dog. Shes also in Superstar, Night at the Roxbury, Talladega Nights and Never Been Kissed. She was awesome and so funny.

I went to a taping of our TV show America's Home Makeover and got to see the designers and host Ty Pennington. Wasn't too exciting though.

I think these topics are created to make my life look boring. The only celebrity I've ever met is Frank Skinner, and that was at WBA.
