Old-school MA tags! :) I like those better than the silly "Spirit of America" ones they have now.
 
I'm going to be chatting with someone famous on the phone tomorrow morning... does that count? :D

Could you give us a clue?

For myself, I was in a buddy's short movie he made 10 years ago called Belly Button. My buddy's name is Parris Filbert and he's got an imdb page, but it doesn't list the movie I was in. Apparently the short film was even shown in Italy at a film festival...so there may be a bunch of people there that have seen my mug.

Here's a link to the Winnipeg Fil Group's page about the movie, with a picture of me covered in black goop for a scene in the movie. http://www.winnipegfilmgroup.com/belly_button.aspx
 
^ A friend of mine is listed as an extra on IMDB - I've done the same gig and got nothing :(

I've done a few things but never came close to being famous. Or even reasonably well know. Or even known, for that matter. I've been spotted as a wrestler a few times and one guy introduced himself when he realised he'd heard my voice on the radio a few times (he overheard me telling a mate about the Trek film and it clicked).

Even those tiny unimportant things which I've been spotted for made me uncomfortable. Even such minor recognition such as "Haw you, are you that twat fi the wreslin'?" isn't something I look for.

A mate (and boss/trainer) gets recognised for strange things from being British Champion to Scrapheap Challenge. No one seems to care that he's a wrestler, just that he's been on a Donny Osmand or other game show.
 
I almost forgot, I was a 'man on the street' back when the OJ thing broke. I had no clue what was going on, but I bullshitted a good enough answer to their questions that I made the evening news. Had my cool shades on too.
 
I am not famous, nor have I ever really met anyone famous. My girlfriend being a typical Southern California girl has a ton of stories about interacting with famous people though. Including having dinner once with a notoriously crabby Star Trek scribe.
 
I'm fairly well-known in fandom, but that and $2.05 will get me my morning coffee at Starbucks.

I have the privilege of occasionally rubbing elbows with people whom some might consider famous, but that's as far as it goes. (I found out about a month ago that I'm two degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon. :D)
 
I'd be very surprised is this was true. :)

If it was true, why hasn't he been in TNZ saying "I PITY THE FOOL THAT TALKS THAT CRAP!! I'M GONNA SHOW YOU THE MEANING OF PAAAAIIIIINNN!!"?

Or something.

Curses, I'm three degrees. Foiled again!
