Have you met any Celebrities lately?

at wondercon 2010 i also met richard hatch aka captain apollo on the original battlestar galactica and he was a true gentleman and a scholar. he took time to actually have a conversation with his fans, invited them behind his table to take a picture with him, ONLY charged $20 for an autographed picture and he even signed a picture of me, my son, and him that was taken a year ago for FREE! it was a very pleasant experience!

Great Pic. The kids are cute.

Back in my theatre days in the 90s I met my share of people, but those were never situations where I wouldn't even think of asking for an autograph.

As a kid back in '76 my mom took me to a Trek convention and I met James Doohan. Not at a signers table, just walking through one of the lecture halls saying hello to fans. My mom's camera wouldn't work, so he was patient as she tried to get the flash working and posed with me again for the "second take." I don't think the slides ever came out 'cause I don't remember ever seeing them.

This thread is taking a new direction,and is unfare to the starter.
Lets forget about Ferrigno please.
(gladly IMO)

I recently met Smokin Joe Frazier! Very nice guy! Was truly a thrill to shake his "left" hand.

Great pics of you and the kids!
I met Ferrigno a few years ago. He wasn't really nice or rude, just kinda didn't say much. I guess Burt Ward was about the worst celeb I've ever met. Was late showing up then griped and grumbled the whole time. Was all about the money. The nicest I'd ever met were probably Ric Flair and David Keith. Keith actually bought me and a friend dinner.

i met lou ferrigno last week at the wondercon and wished i didnt. he was the worst celeb encounter ever. all that came out of his mouth were prices. i told him my 7 year old who was right next to me, has seen all the hulk series and was happy to see him, and all he said was $25 for an autograph. no "hi, nice to meet you! " or even a "how are you? what's your name?" total jerk! i asked him if my friend could take a pic of me, him and my son together and he said it was $65. thanks but no thanks!

another friend on a different day also had the same experience.

Dude ..., I find your post a bit Funny ...
When it was announced that Ferrigno was gonna be at ECCC ...,
I was really kinda Jazzed...
After Talking to a Friend Who had met the guy in 97 or so ...,
He told me almost the Exzact Story .., you just Wrote.
I guess He's just a Complete ArseHole.

Doesn't Lou have hearing problems and could that have figured into the incident?

yeah he does, I know for a fact that first words out of his mouth are always the prices and that can sometimes come out rude... Hi this is my book it's not available in stores , that's the first thing he ever said to me which always had me cracking up by the way.

But the times I've met him he's never had a line...maybe if he had a big line he was in in a rush? I just feel bad that D had a bad experience with him...i know meeting him was one of my highlights

[mego73]

wow I've me t Lou a bunch of times and once has he ever charged me for a pic or been rude...it's not like him, maybe he was having a bad day. He's always very nice and polite, he even talks about his dad when you ask him , I'm n shock

Lou Ferrigno and his living.

actually he's still a trainer and charges mad money for that. He owns a huge Gym in Cali

Well,you know,I am glad he can still earn a living.
Still,I have heard he has been a jerk on more than 1 occasion.
Maybe he's got too much time to think bout his bills sitting there in shows............................................. ...........

I work from home and barely leave the house these days - so I hardly see ANYONE.

I've heard that Rachel Mcadams lives around here, and I usually see a lot of other local Canadian celebrities in the summer in Kensington Market.

My girlfriend has been doing catering on movie sets lately, so she sees some pretty cool people. Today Donald Sutherland was on set - but she can't ask for autographs or anything.

that would be awesome to see, i'm so in love with that chick

[toys2cool]

Thanks but no thanks is the way I felt about Adam West and Lee Meriwether at Dukesfest a few years ago. Their line was small so I waited in line until I saw the prices for an autograph $50.00 each! Than walked right past them!

same here with West, now that guy's rude and he was charging $75 here

[toys2cool]

Geuss thats his only source of revenue these days.
Poor bugger.
Still could show some respect to fans,after all,what could he have been without them?
