I don't think he's a household name or anything but the singer Michael Buble was in my classes in high school. Now I see the guy on TV and in magazines. He sung at the frickin' Super Bowl and I think he was on Leno recently.
Has this happened to anyone else?
My sister's friend Rodney played David Cassidy in that Patridge Family mini-series a couple years ago. Dunno what he's been into since then, but he's still in Hollywood doing something or other.
Nice sig.
My sixth grade teacher became sorta famous.

Jason Marquis of the Atlanta Braves. My cousin was good friends with him, and I had a catch or two with him.
semi famous.one guy i knew, but was not friends with plays for the bengals, Artrell hawkins, but we really werent friends per se.
also a physics prof i knew, but never took classes with David wiley, occasionally pops up on leno as the"mad Scientist" but again,never took physics.
A distant cousin of mine used to play for the chiefs.
well, not me, but my friend went to elementary school with Christena Aguilara
My mom went to school at some time (forget when) with that crazy informercial guy that wears the wild suits and sells books on how to get free money from the government.
I wanna say she went to school also with a game show host, but I forget which one, and if it is even correct.
oh yeah, my mom grew up in the house across the street from HOF QB Jim Kelly
My Grandmother dated Vincent Price.
My mother was former-CNN anchorwoman Bella Shaw's college roomate.
Piku, that would be Matthew Lesko, who actually wears that question mark suit out in public.
I've met a bunch of guys from hardcore/ punk rock bands, but they wouldn't even come close to the defenition of famous, so, no.
I went to school with Jensen Ackles (used to be on Days of Our Lives). My cousin dated Kathy Ireland before she was discovered, and a friend of mine sang in a church choir with LeAnn Rhymes...what do I win?
You'll get to say you knew me. Isnt that exciting!!Quote:

My dad writes fishing reports for the Pensacola News Journal. He's the P-Diddy of Pensacola inshore fishing reports.
my friend's brother was on Elimidate...:lol:
he was the guy who told the story about answering the door for a pizza, wearing nothing but a hotdog on his ?hotdog?...i tell ya*shakes head*...he also a bit part in Driven....
My dad used to know John (?) Stamos, that guy from Full House. Back when they were young though; he even came close to beating him up because he was picking on his sister.
So I guess John Stamos is a jerk...or used to be.
My dad used to work for James Watson (who discovered the structure of DNA with Francis Crick). I ate dinner at his house a few times when I was really young. That was obviously long after he became famous, though. I also met a couple other Nobel Laureates, Harold Varmus and Mike Bishop, when I was young although I don't remember them.
I knew Gershon Mosely when he was coming up in the skateboarding world. He used to live at my house. I could probably list some other professional skaters and maybe even a snowboarder or two but all those bastards were truly annoying aside from Gershon. We're a bit out of touch lately but we seem to bump into each other most every time he's in Seattle.
I too know lots and lots of folks playing music in bands but what with my aversion to schlock popular music and all, I also doubt that any of these people qualify as "famous".
Pa
Yeah?Quote:

Yup. Down in the schoolyard, I saw him every now and then. His parents still live in VG.
I remember some kid in highschool telling me about a punk band of his called Revelle, don't know if it's the same band though.
Also according to Rachel her father grew up with the guy that plays Dr. Romano on E.R. I liked that guy better when he was in FAME.
Ohh and my mother met Roger Clemens, she was working at the bank that apprioved his loan for a house. She even has a picture of her and him together.
My old friend and nextdoor neighbor plays in the NHL (Avalanche, I believe), where he does lots of fighting.
Checked: looks like he got traded to San Jose last month.
My dad taught Tom Bertino when he was in high school. Tom is a bigshot visual effects guy at ILM.
I've eaten Taco Bell with Kieron Dwyer and Rick Remender....that's about it.
I went to high school with Jessica Simpson.
/me references pick below
Yes, THAT Jessica Simpson. She was a grade below me at J.J. Pearce High School in Richardson, TX. I was a member of the newspaper staff at the time before she was "discovered" and started doing albums.
I remember distinctly I was a member of the Pony Express, our school newspaper at the time, and I went with another staff member to do an interview with her. After we got there and the photographer got the set setup and we prepared to commence the inverview, the pole holding up the umbrella with the backlight on it broke. So, one of us would have to hold up the umbrella for the photographer snapping pictures while the other did the interview. The question was which would do which?
The solution was simple. We flipped a coin...and I lost :lol:
So my teammate did the interview with her and punched up the story while I stood there holding up the backlight for the photographer snapping away pictures. Pretty funny actually. After we finished I told Jessy she had a beautiful voice, and she thanked me.
I distinctly remember the article he wrote about her saying something to the effect of "great things were in store for her" and one day he hoped "everyone would hear Jessica's beautiful voice". I guess he ended up being right about that. :D
My mum grew up with all of inxs, and was close friends with the drummer. Thats about it for me.
Red: I never knew you or she went to Pearce...that's interesting. :)
My former manager's girlfriend claims to have known Britany Murphy. They say she's a slut-whore-bitch.
Depends on what you define as "famous".
My brother is a widely acclaimed author, photographer, naturlist, and "tv/radio/newspaper personality".
I've been to book signings with him, and it's pretty crazy.
Outside of his demographic though, I'm not sure how famous he'd be.
Morgan Fairchild is one of my mom's best freinds. I've met her a few times.
Jason LaRue, Cincinnati Reds Catcher
I played baseball and basketball with him in High School.
Sam Levine, actor of the short-lived "Freaks and Geeks" on NBC and playing a bit part in "Not Another Teen Movie" went to my middle school and a few years of my high school. He's the short kid.
I went to junior high/high school with Danny Tamborelli who was in The Mighty Ducks and played the young Pete on Pete & Pete. He was also on All That for awhile. He's the fat white kid with red hair.
I also went to HS with Chris Simms (Phil Simms kid). Hmmm...about 6 years ago a girl and her boyfriend killed their newborn son and dumped him in a motel dumpster. That was a nationwide story iirc. They were 2 years ahead of me.
Holy fucking shit, we have winner!Quote:

Was he an asshole in real life?
As for me, I went to school with a girl who had a cameo in the Horse Whisperer, but that's hardly famous. And I worked with a dude who claimed to of dated Piper Perabo or whatever her name is from Coyote Ugly.
So I guess the answer is to the question would be no, for now at least, most of the people I went to school with are still in college.
oooooh...I was an extra in the Spiderman movie.
I don't think that counts for much. But I did see Toby McGuire and Sam Rami.
So, what scene are you in?
Your story would be much cooler if it ended with you banging her.Quote:

I asked my mom, she knew Pat Finn, the host of Shop-Till-You-Drop.
If that's true then that rules.Quote:

I've gone to school with a number of people who are now in the NFL :/
My mom was a good friend of David Twohy, director of "Pitch Black."
I'm sure this isn't what was intended by this thread, but my grandma has a really rare nervous disorder, so doctors from all over the world come to study her. Actually it's pretty sad, but somehow she doesn't mind.
My dad and his brothers(five of them) grew up with Roberto Alomar and Sandy Alomar. Those guys are pretty cool in real life. Got Roberto's autograph when he played with the Blue Jays. My dad also knows Ricky Ledee but I don't know where he is in the MLB.
I was debating on on whether I was going to say "That stupid bitch from Pete and Pete". I went the nicer route. But since you ask, he was a tool. He could be really nice when he wanted something from you, and he had a way with seeming like the best kid in the world to teachers. He would be gone for months at a time to go film though, so he was easy to forget. What's weird is, at college I actually became really good friends with his ex-gf (didn't find out she dated him until a few months after I knew her). I have no fucking clue what she saw in him (a lot to like about her though). I've heard some stories from her.Quote:

My floor's PA at Georgia Tech was on the Real World... we used to call him Superfly, but they used his real name (Matt). He's a cool guy, but came off as real boring when he was on. It was the New Orleans one, I believe.
My sister is friends with Lenny Kravitz's daughter, and he shops at my EB once in a while.
Actually, Michael Jackson and Don Francisco (of wacky spanish TV fame) have both shopped there.
And this guy I knew's uncle was Walter Mercado, the guy that does the horoscope shit on spanish TV. Real weirdo flamer.
my friends dad is good friends with ray liotta.
HAHA!!1
Thanks, Schlep. Yeah, I was class of '98 and she was class of '99, graduated a year after I did and went on to stardom shortly thereafter.Quote:

I've actually kept a copy of every paper from the Pony Express while I was on staff with them, and in one of them is the story about Jessica. Unfortunately all the papers are in my room back home in Dallas so I don't have access to them right now :( But if I ever get ahold of them and can get the article scanned, I'll upload it to the net and post a link on here if anyone cares to read it :)

Funny thing about that: Jessy's father was kind of notorious as being a hardcore Baptist minister on campus who was pretty fiercely protective of his daughter. I'm pretty sure anyone who tried to fool around with her would be struck down with great vengeance and furious anger :D
I actually wouldn't be suprised if she never had a boyfriend throughout her entire time at Pearce.
The toughest QB ever to play the game.Quote:

I miss watching that man go to war on Sundays.
Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who's something to somebody famous.... uhh.... I think that's right.
