Guest goldraven Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Ok, so this weekend i was up in Vail, CO. at a friends condo right along the village. I'm walking through the village on saturday night(not entirely sober) and i see steven segal. it was amazing, he still looks exactly the same as he does in all of his crappy movies. his flowing hair was catching the midnight breeze ever so nicely. oh and he was walking around with his hands behind his back, all ninja style...i thought he was going to fake kick my ass or something. i was fake worried. It had been a really long time since i had seen someone semi-famous from hollywood...just thought i'd announce it. wish i had some pictures. What are your stories of running into hollywood peeps?

Sumo Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 You know i just saw Above the Law and he was really good in that movie and skinny too! Isn't he fat now? You know kinda like the fat guy who goofs on him on MAD Tv? On the other hand i saw Connie Selecca in the DFW airport trying to keep a low profile wearing dark glasses when it was raining outside and dark in the airport. Also if any of you remember the dude who did 300,000 miles in a Saturn commercial. I met him too at my laundrymat. I kinda envied the money he got for the commercial since it went national.

zlalomz Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I saw him at celebrity event I was photographing. It was right after " Above the Law" and he was there with Kelly LeBrock. In order to get a closer look at Kelly I went and asked him a question I already knew the answer to. His answer was, "Aikido, I am a MASTER of Aikido". I backed up three steps and complimented him on his film but was scared to glance over to Ms. LeBrock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramercyjam Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 New Years Ever, Skiing in Stowe Vermont probably in '84 or '85 - My wife and I were drinking in a pub, and Christopher Reeve walks in and sits down at the bar next to me. The place went deathly quiet. My wife is knudging me and wispering "say something". So I turned to Mr Reeve and said something like "Howya doin'. Want to shoot some darts?" So we played a game of 301 and then the other bar patrons got their courage and started razzing him with stuff like "Hey Superman - Don't throw the darts too hard - they might go through the wall". He got highly peeved and left the pub in the middle of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gramercyjam Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 crazy you got to see him while he was walking. what a cool story. I felt really bad for him when I heard he was paralyized. That kind of hammers it home - that you never know what life has in store for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 "Burt Ward" was Robin. He lives off Sixth Street in Norco CA, and runs a Great-Dane Rescue Shelter. Please, I don't even want to admit why I know this... But Burt is a goodhearted guy. Even an old celebrity doesn't get a break from "Code Enforcemet " morons in Riverside County! I worked as an extra in one of the Steven Segal movies, he was a bit arrogant, and my instructor and I got kicked off the set after making some wise-alek remarks about him getting choked out by Gene Labelle. He's very sensitive about that little incident. Gene Labelle, was a great guy---always a joker, and would give you one heck of a nougie (even grown guys!) He played in many films as a ringside referee. They called him "Judo Gene Labelle" an old Pro Wrestler (and olympic judo dude to boot) that made good with bit parts in movies as well as making a bit off "instructional videos" relating to the martial arts. Thought I would spout on this one when I found it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannji Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I used to manage camera stores with 1 hour labs, and had quite a few celebrity run-ins... also sold quite a bit of electronic merchandise to Shannon Sharpe, of the Denver Broncos, back when I worked for Radio Shack. My favorite was during warmups for a Foosball tournament (table soccer). We were playing some warmup games when Dante Bichette walks in. (right or center fielder for the Colorado Rockies) It had been a topic of some discussion that Dante was a pro caliber Foos-baller. He stood around watching for a bit, then threw down some quarters for the next game. When he was up, he kinda looked around, needing a partner. He looked my way first, and for some reason I just walked up, as if I was supposed to be his partner.... to the dismay of the other hopefuls.... lol Turns out he was a decent player, but by no means pro caliber. We sweated out a win, but the legend grew... now quite a few people were there when "Dante kicked the shit out of some of the local talent". Nice guy, took a beating for lack of fielding skills, and an ever increasing waist-line.... 2 things I have in common with him now, lol.
