Actors or directors from your BLU collection that you've met or seen in person - Blu-ray Forum

Nostromo · 01-02-2013, 12:51 PM

I've been sitting here in starbucks working on a paper. A few minutes ago, I leaned back to stretch for a bit, and happened to see two guys at the table next to me. One of them looks familiar. Really familiar. Is it someone I've met in a work environment? Or in a social setting? About ten minutes later, it hits me: he's an actor.

Not a big, famous actor. But an actor nevertheless. And I know I've seen him in one of my BLURAY movies. He had a minor role. But I can't remember the movie or this guy's name.

But I know he's been in one of my movies. This ever happen to you?

I have met plenty of people at comic conventions and stuff like that.

Some Examples:

Jackie Chan
Adam West
Bruce Campbell
John Schneider
Ray Park

millions more...

Dickieduvet · 01-02-2013, 01:23 PM

Met the cast of The Devil's Rejects, Tom Savini and Robert Englund some years back, George Romero too.

Also met Michael Caine briefly at his book signing a couple of years ago.

Riddler The Slag · 01-02-2013, 01:26 PM

Nevermind.

Not in the mood to have a debate about rude actreses.

Petra_Kalbrain · 01-02-2013, 01:48 PM

I've seen the following in person... always from a distance though.

Keannu Reeves
Jennifer Connelley
Ashton Kutcher
Michelle Pfeiffer
Joshua Jackson*
John Noble
Roy Dupuis
Henry Winkler*

And I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now. Living in Vancouver the last 5+ yrs I stumble upon film sets all of the time. I always try to take 10 or 15 minutes to look around for any familiar faces.

* denotes a quick communication between myself and the listed individual. Mostly just a quick "I really enjoy your work" and recipricatory "Thank you." I keep it brief if I get the chance because I know how annoying it can be for them to be hounded all day by the public.

IndyMLVC · 01-02-2013, 01:49 PM

Met?

Off the top of my head:
Harrison Ford
Al Pacino
Robert DeNiro

Eve76 · 01-02-2013, 01:50 PM

Met Jaco van Dormael the director of Mr. Nobody 3 years ago.

Lovely man, we had such a funny conversation, almost took 20 minutes and the press had to wait for him!

Scottie · 01-02-2013, 02:38 PM

Gary Sinise was apparently at a restaurant a that we were eating at a few years back, but nobody told me until after

I personally met some bands, but no actors yet! Hopefully someday

HD Goofnut · 01-02-2013, 02:41 PM

Have met:

Dean Stockwell
Patricia Wettig
Sandra Bullock - Huge ego.

--Joe Pesci - sold him a tv at best buy and met him again on The Voice a few weeks ago (really funny guy)
--Marlon Wayans - sold him a 58" sammy 8000 plasma and othep stuff. He was really cheap and every time he came in he spent a good amount of time asking for discounts on everything (including "throwing in a blu-ray")

--Megan Fox - she smells amazing... and was really nice.
--Lorenzo Lamas - worked on a tv show he was on

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

bigdaddyhorse · 01-02-2013, 03:49 PM

Met Rob Zombie years ago backstage at a White Zombie show. I'll just say he was having a bad day and didn't want to meet anyone, either that or he is the second biggest a-hole I ever met behind Dave Mustaine. From seeing other interviews and what-not I give him the benefit of the doubt, but man was he was not cool at all that day.

Met Jennifer Tilly and Shannon Elizabeth in Vegas during world series of poker a few years back, both were far sweeter than they needed to be. Wish I had a chance to meat them.

Me either. He seems like one of those young actors that knew the right people early in his career, ended up in some high profile roles, and now thinks he's better than most. Honestly, I think is a-hole attitude comes from thinking he's top s*** AND because he's hated so much lol. I can't remember the last time I heard someone say his name AND something postiive in the same sentence. It doesnt help how awesome he thinks he is either and the fact that he brags and boasts about hooking up with girls that were in relationships at the time.

Lawless is the ONLY movie I can stand him in. He was the worst thing about I,Robot, Constantine, and Eagle Eye sucked.
