Penn’s said they never leave after a show unless everyone who wants to meet them has had the chance to, even if it means waiting for hours.

I saw Nick Cage at my job once. Thought it was just a guy that looked like him but I tailed him up to the service counter and got a passing glance at his ID. I didn't say anything to him, I figure a guy like him get's tired of being noticed when he's just trying to buy stuff.

Yep, he's know for doing that locally from what I've herd on his podcast. He'd shot the shit with you most likely if you'd struck up a conversation with him about sports stuff and not been a sperg. Hell he's fairly nice to the spergy ones too from what I saw, little snarky but cordial in his own way.

I probably would have had I not been trying to wrangle my son, he came off as a pretty nice dude and the locals all seemed to like him well.

I met Sean Astin on two separate occasions.
You see, my father has been running at Disney's running events for a while, and I and my family also come with him and sometimes talk to other runners before the run happens. And Sean Astin just happened to be at two of Disney's runs.

When I was quite young (though old enough to remember) my dad and I ate dinner with Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith on Cheers) at a hotel. I was with him while he was traveling on business and she was in town and just lonely and bored and thought eating dinner with a dad and his kid would make the evening interesting. Incredibly polite, vivacious and even talked to me for a bit as though my dad wasn't even there. Total class and more charm than any ten people.

Since I work at the Braves baseball stadium, I've had a few encounters with some of the players and coaches at the field level. Most of the guys were super nice but Ron Acuna was the most awkward one of them all though, since that involved a lot of spaghetti spilling on my part.

It really does make me happy that everybody who's mentioned Doug in this thread has similar things to say about him being a pretty nice fella in general.

I got slapped on the butt by George Michael in a hotel bar. I turned around and when he saw me me he looked startled and apologized. Not a unique story, plenty of butts must have been smacked by him.
I still submitted my thrilling story to a gossip column because I thought it was funny.
edit: years later I will add that I had a tight butt and tight jeans and was wearing that leather jacket while leaning over the counter, this was in the 90's, I just looked like someone he was meeting at the same place. No harm done, it's just a funny story to me and that's why I wrote to the "funny celebrity encounters" column.

Is there a prize for most obscure?
Late 70s, saw David and Meredith Baxter Birney out walking with their daughter. Didn't say anything to them but took a few pics.
That same year, my old man almost bought a puppy that was sired by a dog that was in the movie Convoy. In this scene:
During a break at a Flecktones show, I was outside grabbing a smoke. Béla walks by on his way to his bus. I said hi, shook his hand, and chatted for a bit. I didn't keep him long - I figgered he was probly going to the bus to take a leak.

A couple of stories of meeting-ish celeb-ish people from my time at Radio Cluster
I'm over at the studio of Station with the crew I work with, we have the door closed, should be relatively quiet, but we hear a barely muffled "DEE JAY KHALEED! YOURE LISTENING TO URBAN STATION aw nah DHEEE JAY DEE JAY KAHLED AND THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE aw nah okay. "
He was warming up for recording some promos for Urban Station, and the dude is seriously fucking loud.
Other story is the time I get to work, high af as often can happen in radio, and guests of Talk Station are making the rounds saying hello "hi there I'm the state attorney general for this area and here is my sidekick in charge of drug prosecution"
So basically I put on my cool face.

I met Richard Epcar (Raiden in the latest Mortal Kombat games) at Youmacon 2018 on the night I left at a bar in my hotel. We both had some nice cold pints of Guinness and shot the breeze about the voice roles he did. After downing my pint, we shook hands before I attended a tequila party with Jon St. John in the hotel lobby. Nice guy and fun times.
I got to meet Wendee Lee (Faye in Cowboy Bebop) at the same con that year. It was cool when I talked with her at the autographs session and made a joke about how Steve Blum put his signature over her character on my Cowboy Bebop Movie DVD as a prank.

During deployments in '04 & '06, I ran into Robin Williams twice on early mornings (along with some USO handlers who promptly went to stuff face); in a dusty, lonely, relatively small DFAC/chow hall, at one of the far-flung live-fire ranges in Kuwait.
Both times, he had come in the exit low-key, at the point where trays were dropped off. and started quietly greeting guys as they were leaving.
It didn't take long before the whole DFAC was listening to guys near losing their breakfasts with laughter & Williams loudly roasting/bullshitting troops as they filed out.
But he wasn't doing the G'Morning Vietnam bit; a couple clowns called for it, and he clowned 'em back. It was just him, and he somehow knew *exactly* how to make each individual either laugh or blush (the man definitely wasn't shy with the ladies, downrange rules for lulz were in full effect).
Then there's Gary Sinese. Aside from him & his band showing up wherever I landed during transits, I also met him twice walking the other way from a latrine/smoking area. Nobody recognized him & he looked like he was on a mission, so I just touched my brim & gave him a "Sir" as I went by. Aside from that though, if he had the time, he tried to talk with guys alone or in small groups whenever possible.
And how can I forget Drowning Pool; holy shit, those guys were *constantly* doing gigs everywhere S.W. Asia, and at Rammstein.
While waiting for a flight out, I ended up drinking near-beer with some Drowning Pool roadies at Arifjan on my last go-round. After commiserating about the sad state of our sobrieties; someone may or may not have smoked a little hash in the back of a covered deuce, in exchange for a little scotch, because it had to be done.

not met anyone note worthy but my old high school teacher told me a story how he met Mr.bean (Rowan Atkinson) when he was skiing in the mountains of Italy. he was polite but he told me you could tell he was a very serious person and would not make a fool of himself too anyone. until he got drunk one night and started dancing and everyone at the inn were laughing.
one of my friends met kanye west on the street sighing autograph and when he asked my friend if he wanted one he said "no but i would like one from kim kardashian. how is she doing?" heard kanye gave him a bad look and just walked away.
