Paid acting gigs & celebrity encounters

RIP to the Venatori who got murdered by candlehops #dragonage #dragonagevp

I lived above a bar run by one of Holland's top drag artists and Bonnie Tyler was my landlady

Yeah, I don't know if I have any that exciting, but I once had a conversation with someone who auditioned against Tom Holland for Spider-Man.

Chris Hansen asked me to have a seat and interviewed me. ...I didn't get the job though.

Whilst working on the Taxis,years ago, I picked up a celebrity who was absolutely pissed. After helping him in, he collapsed on his couch, and his Mrs was keen for me to stay for "a coffee" I politely declined

I was once followed by artists and personalities as big as Lil B the Based God and Anthony Fantano on Twitter.

In the 90s I was backstage at Lollapalooza and looking for thd coffee. This guy asked me how i took it and brought me a perfect coffee. Im somewhat face blind and my friend informed me it was the lead singer of Limp Biskit

I once had a barbecue at Ron Dixon off of Brookside's house.

I once spent over 12 months chasing a dead guy for an interview

I was kidnapped by the Dingles from a burger van on Emmerdale while playing drums on the radio.

A Derry-based artist has experienced two unforgettable celebrity encounters in the span of just a few months, including a surprise visit from music legend Bob Dylan — without even realising it at the time.

My existence led to the creation of two different youth roller hockey leagues.

- was (briefly) chased by a carabao - accidentally snubbed john waters once (i felt bad about it after) - related to a musician famous enough to sell out a mid-sized venue

I partied with Ed Asner (Pre-"Up", so "Cosgrove from Freakazoid"-era) and a bunch of my friends one night, and he downed an ENTIRE bottle of expensive tequila at the party himself, and we all had a damn amazing time.

In middle school (or maybe it was high school), I was home sick one day and called into my local radio station, and I called Danny Bonaduce a pig on air. (He said thank you.)

I was once disappeared by David Copperfield, but I got better. I also spent some time in Bon Jovi's dad's attic.

My father was Leonard Cohen.

You shots with the Chainsmokers at the height of their popularity and they invited me back to Vegas in their bus but I said no. Lived someone's Y/N dream.

Bayliss sitting in with a local Beatles tribute band tonight. Played the entire second set with them and was having a blast.

Viktor killed Marina

My cousin was the DJ for the Ellen Show and a judge on So You Think You Can Dance #RIPtWitch

I DJ'd privately for Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups in Taipei in 2002.

I drove Ray Charles from a Denver amusement park to his hotel in my mom's Volvo

I had Mongolian Beef thrown at my head by the singer from the Goo Goo Dolls. He missed.

I was one of the lead singers for my high school's rock band.

I’ve seen Larry Miller in person 3 times. Yep, the dad in this movie.

You know the guy who played Tommy the Green Power Ranger? At two different comic book /sci-fi conventions, he got up from his chair and started shouting towards the crowd, over my head and just centimeters from me. It is odd that it happened at all, but it is bizarre that it happened twice.

Mark Twain is my third cousin four times removed on my mother’s side.

I've had two paid acting gigs. One was a safety video for a national chain of bounce houses. The other was chorus in a premier run of an opera about Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding

I sat next to Anton LaVey, his consort Miss Blanche, and their baby Xerxes once at the Stonestown Olive Garden

I've shared a stage with Rob Zombie. Had a microphone and everything.

I used to test the challenges on reality shows before the contestants did them to see if they were dangerous/exploitable. I was almost thrown from a moving truck because someone forgot to lock the door.

I went through TSA pre-check once with Vincent D’Onofrio and Meatloaf.

I used to live with the creator of Howard the Duck.

I’ve been a backup dancer for both Christina Aquillera and Weird Al Yankovich.

My husband and I had drinks with Roscoe Browne at a bar in San Francisco.

I once sang backup to John Denver.

I sang karaoke with Paul Rudd.

racecar driver (then real estate) and touring musician (then driving taxis)

Chuck Norris was my commencement speaker.

I was once offered a piece of Bazooka bubblegum by Art Spiegelman.

Olympic figure skating champ Alysa Liu met Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe backstage at the Today show, and offered to let him try on her gold medal—but Radcliffe refused for the noblest reason.

In high school as a singing host at the Macaroni Grill in Cincinnati I sang for Marvin Hamlisch during lunch one day

I once bodyguard Jackie Chan.

I once impersonated Anna Kournikova on center court at the US Open

In 2015 I was in Hong Kong for a few days, and me and a couple friends met a pretty unremarkable-seeming guy at a random bar and hung out for a few hours. I later recognized that guy's photo in a newspaper under the headline "The American Psycho of Hong Kong." It's pretty much what it sounds like.

I once gave Miss America a ride to an event.

I shook Gary Busey's hand in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland.

I hung out with Bob Backlund on the night of my high school graduation.
