Over the years I have met numerous celebrities. Some of them were nice and some, well, not so much. Here's the breakdown...
Best, in order starting with the absolute best: 1. Adam Sandler 2. Dan Whitney a.k.a Larry the Cable Guy 3. Carlos Santana 4. Lewis Black 5. Motley Crue
Sandler was the greatest. He actually made me feel like he wanted to meet me.
The worst, in order starting with the absolute worst: 1. Dustin Diamond a.k.a Screech DONE. I've met and worked with some other celebrities that weren't the most fun to be around but none of them compare to being as big of an asshole as Screech. The staff wasn't allowed to refer to him as Screech because he said he wanted to keep that in the past yet he sold shirts that said "Save Screech's House." He SOLD autographs for $5 a piece and pictures were $10. I'm not saying that he had headshots for sale, no, if you brought your own camera to the club and wanted a picture after the show, you had to pay $10. I could go on and on, I'll elaborate more if you want.
So anyways, what are some of your best and worst celebrity encounters?

Brad Pitt, Chow Yun-Fat, William Friedkin (director of Excorcist) and Rick McCallum (producer of Star Wars).Have been my best celebrity encounters, cannot think of a bad celebrity moment.
Brad Pitt at the Electric Cinema, Portabello Rd, London. Happily introduced himself and shook staffs hands when turning up at 6 in the morning to see Octopussy the final film in a James Bond all nighter.
Chow Yun-Fat at the closing weekend of the Scala cinema. Kings Cross, London. Being interviewed by MTV in the projection room as I did c/o's in the background, He even remembered my name and said hi the next day
William Fredkin signed an Excorcist poster "with much grattitude" the pride of my poster collection!.
Rick McCallum discussing the digital future of cinema to me in my bio box for 40 minutes a few years ago at the Chauvel in Sydney. Australia
My worst celebrity moments have been when working on location and not a cinema experience! needless to say that the poor attitude is usually from there friends, not the celebrity themselves.
