I've actually seen quite a few famous people out and about in LA, but I'll only include people that I've actually spoken to.
The Academy had a tribute to Mel Brooks in 2009 and I was very happy to be sitting about 6 feet away from him. The audience was filled with old and not so old comedians and actors. Afterwards when my girlfriend and I went to our car we were surprised to see Carl Reiner and Sherwood Schwartz walking to their car so we stopped and asked them to sign the program. They were happy to oblige and actually talked to us for a while. True gentlemen.
At the premier for RocknRolla my friends and I were waiting in the lobby of the Arclight waiting for the movie to start when a very beautiful and well-dressed British lady started to talking to us about movies. It turned out it was Thandie Newton. She was very nice and funny. Afterward, on the way back to our car, Gary Oldman and his now-wife, Alexandra Edenborough, were heading back to their car and we stopped and asked them for an autograph. They were both very nice and polite.
