    No celeb friends but I met or ran into a lot of celebrities when I worked in LA. Only two of them I ever really spoke to. I used to smoke a cigarette with John Voight a couple of times a week. He seemed pretty cool. The conversations were always just small talk. I also had lunch with Lenny Kravitz once. He was a really nice guy.

    I don't know anyone famous, but my GF is from West Chester and knows all of the Jackass crew. Her brother used to skate with Bam and a few of the others.

    My aunt is Lisa Stark on ABC World News tonight. My Uncle is Dr. Bruce B. Dan who wrote the section on Disease in the Encyclopedia Britannica. Also, my Cousin is the Actor Johnathan Dane. Our real last name is Dan, but he added the "e" so it would be easier to remember. He hasn't hit is "Big" yet, but he's had small parts on shows like "All My Children" and was even on Grey's Anatomy for an episode.

    when i was growing up my mother was engaged to the brother of bill harris former assistant coach at michigan. then his neice married corwin brown of the pats, jets and lions i got to go to some of the family functions with the players and had thanksgiving and christmas dinner at home a couple of times with corwin and desmond howard.

    my mom's boss also works for the redwings and went to a couple bbqs at his house and a couple times a few wings players and coaches were there yzerman, bowman, and mccarty are the ones i really remember the most.

    i ran into ice t when i was 10 or 11 at a hotel he was cool enough to sign a few autographs take a few pics and just take to us for about an hour or so.

    and when i used to work at a machine shop our tool supplier was reggie mckenzie former guard of the bills and seahawks he used to take us to lunch once about once a month (it was a very small shop)

    My dad was very good friends with the famous racecar driver, Joe Nemecheck. He also went to school with Joe, worked for Joe's father and used to party with Joe all the time. They pretty much stayed friends until Joe started to pick up on his career.

    I went to school with a girl who was the daughter of Dedrick Dodge, who played for the San Francisco 49ers adn the Denver Broncos. Even though she's not famous, her father is and I think that counts. She wasn't my friend though. She was a snob, and that's me being nice.

    And this is my old friend Kevin, who I went to school with throughout my entire life. Elementary school, middle school and high school. He now plays for the Harlem Globetrotters and it's good to see someone as awesome as him doing something that he loves.

    I've met a few celebrities, but I can't consider them friends.

    Re: Famous Friends

    I don't know anyone directly, but I do have some connections!

    My dad's girlfriend is friends with Jennifer Ehle, and her brother is actor Sean Bridgers (he was in Sweet Home Alabama and an episode of Bones)

    My best friend's brother is dating the daughter of Paul Shapiro (a director).

    My dad met John Stossel once.
    Dude, where did Bob go?

    Did you ever drink a fish bowl with them? lol Those guys could tear it up! I used to always have to sell phones to Bam and his parents because he was always destroying them.
