Interesting story...

edited April 2007 in General Chat
Earlier today, I was speaking with a prospective client. He was telling me about a friend of his that started a company and last weekend, as a charity fund raiser, they brought the Blues Brothers in to perform. (I'm getting to the interesting bit now). I'm still not too sure why he mentioned that... At any rate, he then said that in a few weeks, they're bringing in an old friend of his from high school, that used to do voices at the talent show, and MC the dances, etc... having now gone on to bigger and better things. The biggest thing now being the voice of Goofy. Yes my friends, he was talking about none other than Bill Farmer (the original Sam for you youngin's).

I was shocked. So close to him and yet, so far... :)

    My High School drama teacher was an extra (and clearly in frame) with Gary Sinise in the movie Truman.

    Gary Sinise was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon.

    That beat it? ;)

    god i kill all of you!

    I was backstage on the Regis and Kelly show because of a series of fortunate events, and one of their guests spilled coffee on me in a rush to get on stage. at the time I thought he was some crazy asian guy (i was like 14), but when I look back, I now know it was the famous martial artist Jet Li. Angelina Jolie was backstage too!

    So top that. And one of my friends just stared in and edited a movie with stars such as David Carradine, Buster (Aressted Development), and a lot of other faces you'd recognize.

    Anyone remember that one "one hit single" called "Da Dip" by Freak Nasty http://youtube.com/watch?v=VHBwDYyyGxs Apparently, he is now a P.E. teacher at a rival high school of mines (the same high school that was used/animated in the animatrix episode entitled "Kid's story")

    It is also the same school that Jim Morrison from the doors went to.

    At my high school, there was an aseembly where Tupac's mom was trying to tell kids about the dangers of child abuse, gun violence, etc.. She brought two singles, one was some blonde chick who sung about child abuse while another was a rapper(I think it was m.c. mal) who sung about money. Because my school is bias against anything that isn't rap, the former was booed off the stage.
    you can check it out at the alameda high (my rival high school] article on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alameda_High to see for yourself.

    Well... Bruce Willis refused to sign my "Die Hard Trilogy"-DVD-box at the German "Over the Hedge" premiere and just wanted to shake my hand instead... I'm still unsure if that was a good deal.

    I met Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek: TNG), and the person doing the models and textures for my game project is the voice of one of the TMNT in the Brazilian translation of the show :D

    Okay, so my celeb connections suck... but, friggin' Ninja Turtles! :P

    No kidding, me too! Was it in a movie theatre? If so, it must be the same person we're talking about. It's a small world...

    I met Dick Hatch, yes that's right, Survivor's naked gay dude, he was pretty cool, I met him at the Boston Marathon a few years back, since I live in Hopkinton, MA (AKA, the starting line of the Boston Marathon) I tend to go every year.

    Oh and my Girlfriend used to work at a mexican Restorant owned by the father of Malcolm in the Middle's Duey, I can never remeber the kid's name.

    He's just begging for attention, heckles and jokes with that.

    I got food poisoning before a screening at Skywalker Ranch, and I ended up throwing up in front of Barry Levinson & George Lucas. And one of the animators working at Telltale now had to escort me home, stopping every so often to let me get out of his car and throw up on the side of the road.

    Good times.

    I showed CliffyB how to play Blast Miner and then he asked me about Bone2. And then we held hands and frolicked off into a meadow.

    Brendan writes his jokes next to me all day. And he laughs really loudly at his own gags.

    I had a really awkward moment with Tim Schafer. But I think that was mostly my fault.

    I had a really awkward moment with Nick the Intern. It was probably Kevin's fault too, though I'm not quite sure how.
