So, I have hung out with Tom Arnold before he got famous. He worked with my sister in Minneapolis when I was at UMinn. She is mentioned in his book. He let fame change him, but he still treats his friends well from before the fame.
Met Mark Chmura (TE for the Packers) when our kids played flag football on opposing teams.
Didn't get to meet Patrick Stewart, but he was cast to read parts that I wrote and did a great job...lol
My sister's nephew played in the NHL. Joe Finley. Only 25 games at the top level. I met him when he was little....he is 6'8" now.
Brock Lesnar is from my mom's hometown. The guy who started Tommy John underwear is from mine. Lol. Both towns combined are maybe 8000 people.
NaNa Osafo -Mensah...current DE for Notre Dame played BB and FB against my son for 3 years in middle school. Man among boys. He was a nice kid, though.
Chris Michalak, former MLB pitcher pitched to our kids in coach pitch baseball. His kid was on the team. Partway through the kids' season he signed a minor league deal with Toronto and had to leave. He and his wife were nice people, too.
Freestyle BMX icon, Woody Itson used to be our neighbor. He would do tricks in the cul-de-sac at age 50+.
A former girlfriend is now a judge in Nevada...is that famous?
I've met a lot of random other people, heck, I'm on IMDB and mentioned in some Wiki articlees...fame is all relative to what you care about.
