View Full Version : Famous People in Disneyland?
TikiRoom 10-30-2006, 10:22 PM What famous people have you seen in Disneyland, or DCA, Downtown Disney, in a place near Disneyland, but owned by Disney?
I saw Aly & AJ on the "Club Buzz" Stage, but people at Disney took that stage out :(
Who have you seen?
gigarichard 10-30-2006, 10:25 PM I've seen Shaq coming out of It's a Small World in WDW. Very tall dude especially over his body guards.

Tris-Remix 10-30-2006, 10:38 PM I think at WDW there is a High School Musical Show. Also at DLR, there was the Cheethah Girls and Aly & AJ. I guess Disney Parks is where stars like.
timmyastro 10-30-2006, 10:40 PM I have seen aly&aj there.
LittleJoe 10-30-2006, 10:43 PM I've never seen anyone famous at WDW, but I heard in EPCOT that famous people can be seen at Iluminations. In front of Italy or some other country, there is a little area that is reserved for VIPs to watch the show from.
I did see some strange people because the last time I went there over the summer, my sister saw these 2 guys from her school. what are two odds that people we know would fly over at the same time? We know of people that said that they were even going to be in the same hotel on the same days, but we never saw them. once we found out that a person we knew was in the room below ours but we never saw them. what a small world it is after all.
manunderwater 10-30-2006, 10:47 PM I've seen Julie Andrews, LeAnn Rimes, and Christina Aguilara on May 5, 2005 for the 50th Celebration Kick-off.
SpaceGalaxy 10-30-2006, 10:49 PM I saw Mickey Mouse! :)
Cakee 10-30-2006, 10:55 PM Hold up, I've seen more people! all in MGM too, this was a few years ago, I forgot when xD. I also saw John Ritter, Katey Sagal, Martin Spanjers, Kaley Cuoco, Amy Davidson (Cast of 8 Simple Rules), Drew Carey and of course.. Kevin Bacon xD rofl.
GreatGatsby 10-31-2006, 05:14 AM My father accidently bumped into Walt on Main Street 50 years ago and had a small conversation with him.
You'll forgive me if I don't get impressed by any celebrity I or other people see in the parks. I figure my Dad's experience trumps all. :)
granacci 10-31-2006, 05:23 AM I saw Whoopi GoldBerg several months ago at DLR getting on Space Mountain. She had a large group of people with her, and she had her hair in front of her face to help disguise herself.

Of course it does! LOL! He is the creator of disney and lets not forget mickey! Let's see I have seen no famous people in disney, but I have seen famous cartoons!
acefalloutgirl 10-31-2006, 06:16 AM i have seen Aly & Aj at Disneyland,another time i saw someone who seemed to look like hilary duff.I also seen (not that famous) Fantasia from american idol walking down main street another time.
Tetsiga 10-31-2006, 06:46 AM I saw 3 of the Who's line cast, even have a picture of them on Tower of Terror(MGM) Members of Kansas, from the Epcot America stage and got pictures with some members of The Commadores. I'm sure I've seen others it would take a minute to remember though..

Caterpillar AEIOU 10-31-2006, 09:19 AM I have had the fortune to have seen Lots and Lots of famous poeple at both WDW and DLR.
I was actaully at the opening of Planet Hollywood in WDW, WOW! That was awesome.
2 celebrities stand out in my mind.
I saw Roy Disney coming out the Team Disney building! He waved to me,and said "Hi".
He looks so much like Walt!
And My favorite was meeting Princess Diana and her children. It was the Summer of 1993. She was Special!
Twisty 10-31-2006, 11:46 AM All of No Doubt
Woah, no way. My sister and I cherish that band!! That rocks!
GBShorts 10-31-2006, 12:45 PM I've seen Shaq coming out of It's a Small World in WDW. Very tall dude especially over his body guards.
How on earth did he FIT in that ride?? Gosh. LOL
Raderin 10-31-2006, 06:39 PM No, but once I go to WDW this summer I hope to see some!! My biggest hope is Miley Cyrus, Ahley Tisdale and Vannessa Hugens. The only celebrities I have ever seen in real life are political celebrities down in D.C.
TikiRoom 11-01-2006, 11:30 PM Sure, like the people that are famous to tweens and teens, most of us want to see them, us meaning tweens and teens, MOST.
GG, that is so cool! Walt himself, it would be so cool to see him!
Eviie 11-02-2006, 12:07 AM Jason Earles and the Jona Brothers at WDW. I was there during the edition for Disney 411 reguarding the Expedition Everest. They were trying to block the ride entrance everyone was taking pics.. Crazy people. I dont like Jason Earles.. lol. The Jona brothers were boarding Splash Moutain :]Now them i like. Not a crush just love there music
PiratePauly 11-02-2006, 12:16 AM my friends and I were in line with Tom Hanks on the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, that was cool. :h-biggrin
futuremartymcfly 11-02-2006, 12:26 AM Cast member for over 10 years. Who haven't I seen?
Steven Spielberg
I'm sure there are others. But it's late. ;-)
Spielberg!! I seriously envy you. I wonder what rides he likes.
WafflePrincess 11-02-2006, 12:28 AM My brother has seen Rev. Run and his family at Typhoon Lagoon
( Rev. Run was a famous rapper back in the day and he has his own show on MTV called " Runs House " )
PirateMario 11-02-2006, 12:31 AM My Sister's friend went to the Premiere of POTC2. She got some Pictures for us, and a Video recording of Orlando Bloom. Heh, I think that counts for something! :D
WCPagentGirl 11-02-2006, 12:33 AM Well You guys won't guess who I saw.They Are Huge Celebs. In Disney No Not Mickey or Minnie
Ariel Jasmine Cinderella Snow White Sleeping Beauty!
Oh Beat That
And I <3 Shaq and Kareem!
Melysah 11-02-2006, 12:34 AM Geena Davis was by Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in 1997. That's all I remember.
PirateMario 11-02-2006, 12:35 AM Eh? Erm...I don't think Characters count. The Creator of this thread, I think, meant only Real Celebritys count.
GreatGatsby 11-02-2006, 03:42 AM Spielberg!! I seriously envy you. I wonder what rides he likes.Had lunch with him once. Seriously. Pink's Hot Dogs in Mid-Wilshire Los Angeles.
OK OK, so he was in line in front of me and was sitting at the table next to mine, but hey - he was eating and I was eating, so technically I had lunch with him.
:D
Neoteny 11-02-2006, 03:49 AM my friends and I were in line with Tom Hanks on the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, that was cool. :h-biggrin
Did he have a FastPass?
I've always wondered whether celebrities get special treatment at Disneyland. It would be a shame if they didn't get to go because of the crowds that would undoubtably surround them. Sometimes it's good to be an anonymous nobody.
technogirl 11-02-2006, 03:55 AM I have seen Aly&AJ at Club Buzz at DLR.
GreatGatsby 11-02-2006, 04:00 AM I've always wondered whether celebrities get special treatment at Disneyland. It would be a shame if they didn't get to go because of the crowds that would undoubtably surround them. Sometimes it's good to be an anonymous nobody.Depends on the celebrity. If they are tremendously recognizable (such as - say - Micheal Jackson back when they would let him in) then that celebrity will require escort, security, and a VIP guide. For example, Bob Hope would have one huge part of the old Tahitian Terrace roped off for his group when he had dinner there.
On the other had, someone liek Spielberg is less likely be recognized by the average Joe, so he can often walk around like anyone else (albeit with a couple of plainclothes guards walking with him like other tourists). It often depends on what the celebrity needs and wants. Some just simply want to slum it.
I've heard Johnny Depp pops in from time to time and no one recognizes him at all.
Jacques 11-02-2006, 05:06 AM Woah, no way. My sister and I cherish that band!! That rocks!
Yeah, they were doing a promotion through KROQ radio in LA. Win the contest, spend the day in the Park with the band (They are from Anaheim).
Spielberg!! I seriously envy you. I wonder what rides he likes.
Well, he did ride on the monorail I was driving. ;-)
Had lunch with him once. Seriously. Pink's Hot Dogs in Mid-Wilshire Los Angeles.
mmm... Pink's....
I've heard Johnny Depp pops in from time to time and no one recognizes him at all.
That's how it was when Pee Wee Herman / Paul Reubens used to visit. Long hair and goatee. No idea it was him 'til he did the laugh.
AmazingSam 11-02-2006, 08:29 AM I saw Cuba Gooding Jr. getting on the Pinocchio ride. I didn't think it was him because I looked around and people didn't notice. @_@

TikiRoom 11-02-2006, 02:19 PM Woot, lol. I have also seen, Victoria/Veronica, whichever the name is, from Disney 411, she was there w/ Aly & Aj, kinda, I got a pic w/ her.
Chaelle 11-02-2006, 04:01 PM I think at WDW there is a High School Musical Show. Also at DLR, there was the Cheethah Girls and Aly & AJ. I guess Disney Parks is where stars like.
It should be where celebraties hate,
I mean the ones who want to be left alone:rolleyes:
Oh and I say the HSM mini show on an open stage in WDW (tomorrowland) It wasn't the real people though:D
~Chaelle
DizIceAngel 11-02-2006, 04:29 PM When I went to WDW, I met Miley Cyrus, Mitchel Musso and Emily Osment.
fun4life 11-02-2006, 05:22 PM Michael Jackson comes alot to Disneyland Paris...
lostinadreamyo 11-02-2006, 05:42 PM Depends on the celebrity. If they are tremendously recognizable (such as - say - Micheal Jackson back when they would let him in)
i wouldnt let michael jackson in the park i would be to sacred ;):h-confuse
GreatGatsby 11-03-2006, 03:21 AM FYI Jackson actually tried all he could to "buy" an apartment at Disneyland. (I never found out where he was thinking, but my guess would be a pre-Gallery New Orleans Square.) Eisner did not allow it to happen.
Jacques 11-03-2006, 04:19 AM I saw Jackson at DLR a few times. Mostly on the Captain Eo attraction (of course). Almost knocked him over in our office once. ;-)
I forgot, I've also seen Jack Nicholson. Oh, and Screech from Saved by the Bell was a passholder.
Neoteny 11-03-2006, 04:58 AM Oh, and Screech from Saved by the Bell was a passholder.Whatever happened to him? Does he play VMK? If so, is he taken?
GreatGatsby 11-03-2006, 05:08 AM Oh, and Screech from Saved by the Bell was a passholder.I bumped into him the one and only time I went to Medieval Times. These girls were going nuts, and I'm like - uh, yeah, so what?
He's now selling off all his belongings on the internet to try to keep his house.
Neoteny 11-03-2006, 05:11 AM I bumped into him the one and only time I went to Medieval Times. These girls were going nuts, and I'm like - uh, yeah, so what?

Oh. :( Sorry about continuing the off-topic tangent here, but that just stinks. Screech was awesome.
LittleJoe 11-03-2006, 08:53 PM I've heard Johnny Depp pops in from time to time and no one recognizes him at all.
he's good at changing what he looks like to the point of not even knowing who he is. that is why he is such a good actor.
MsBehave 11-03-2006, 10:44 PM :chip_bounce:
When I went to DLR on Saturday, I was shocked because I met CL_MsBehave! I was like OMG... so awesome.
Ah, Johnny Depp, my future husband. Such a great actor.
Love,
http://img.****************/albums/v506/CinfulGirl/bb.gif
camara 11-04-2006, 06:09 AM I bumped into him the one and only time I went to Medieval Times. These girls were going nuts, and I'm like - uh, yeah, so what?
He's now selling off all his belongings on the internet to try to keep his house.
Medieval Times, that place near Pennsylvania, or a different one?
edit: man why don't i ever notice these famous ppl when i go to WDW!? Do they all just hear in the heads "Some kid named -camara- is going to be there, let's not go today."
fantasylion 11-04-2006, 06:20 AM I once saw Aly and Aj but they were riding in the boat in front of ours on Pirates Of The Carribean... who knew gaurds could take up so much room >_>
im.a.princess 11-04-2006, 06:27 AM Mideval times is a place a few minutes away from disneyland. FUNKY place though. i wouldn't reccomend it. + they have overpriced smoothies and these pathetic little cheese sticks. :)
the only thing i liked about it was the hot orange county guys
Oh yeah! At Disneyland i once saw Topanga from boy meets world.
jamiewe 11-04-2006, 01:25 PM Well ive never seen anyone famous when i went to DLP before. Oh yes and someone I know saw Orlando Bloom at the premier of POTC 2, he kept shouting Orlando! Orlando! Orlando! lol
snowgalsnow 11-04-2006, 01:42 PM I never seen anyone but when the cast of Fullhouse went to WDW for a shooting Jodie ( Stephine Tanner ) went into the bathroom and came out crying because someone found her and kept asking for her autographs.
snowgalsnow 11-04-2006, 01:55 PM Someone in vmk lives by the big sister DJ from full house
Neoteny 11-04-2006, 06:57 PM I wonder which (if any) celebrities play VMK.
GeauxTigersGo 11-04-2006, 07:04 PM Depends on the celebrity. If they are tremendously recognizable (such as - say - Micheal Jackson back when they would let him in) then that celebrity will require escort, security, and a VIP guide.
I think anyone can arrange for an escort through Guest Relations - it's just not cheap :eek: They make for an easy way to spot celebrities. Look for the plaid vests like VMK staff now wear. You will usually see them escorting their party to a different entrance on the rides. They sometimes ride with them - one did next to me on Expedition Everest - or sometimes they will be waiting at the exit. I am not saying that every time you see a Guest Relations person they will be with a celebrity - but many times they are ;)
jamiewe 11-04-2006, 07:46 PM LOL someone said jackson visits DLP lol thats crazy talk!

I've been on several of these tours at DLR and WDW. They're a lot of fun, and educational, too. Plus, you get special access to rides via "back doors." The tours are expensive, though, but they often come with a meal and an exclusive pin.
Brer_Nick 11-04-2006, 09:17 PM Lately celbrities have been gathering to WDW. I'm guessing it's because of the fact WDW has more new rides like everest and more parks.
TrueBlueHorse623 11-04-2006, 10:21 PM Ok lets get this strate the cast of full house went to WDW
That was about a decade ago.
junkyarddog 11-04-2006, 11:01 PM http://i103.****************/albums/m160/sgtseth/sgtsethbdasigfp7.gifI saw Zack and cody the sprouse brothers!
Caterpillar AEIOU 11-04-2006, 11:39 PM he's good at changing what he looks like to the point of not even knowing who he is. that is why he is such a good actor.
I have seen him (Johnny Depp) at the NAPA restaurant at the Grand Californian Hotel.
My daughter actually spotted him.
You are right, he just looks like a regular guy. It was his voice that gave it away.

Was he doing his Jack Sparrow voice or his Willy Wonka voice or his Edward Scissorhands voice or ... well, what?
F0REVERL0ST 11-05-2006, 12:20 AM Was he doing his Jack Sparrow voice or his Willy Wonka voice or his Edward Scissorhands voice or ... well, what?
I believe she said "regular" guy. :D
JpopChick<3 11-05-2006, 12:20 AM Whatever happened to him? Does he play VMK? If so, is he taken?
LOL XD Oh gosh i would quit vmk in a second if he played...
I saw Jessica Simpson in Disneyland i think she was suppose to be with Ashlee... Oh gosh if i saw Ashlee simpson i would throw applesauce at her :38:
Neoteny 11-05-2006, 12:23 AM I believe she said "regular" guy. :D
She said he "looks like a regular guy." I was asking how he sounded.
F0REVERL0ST 11-05-2006, 12:24 AM She said he "looks like a regular guy." I was asking how he sounded.
I guess I was just assuming he sounds how he looks?
Caterpillar AEIOU 11-05-2006, 06:03 AM She said he "looks like a regular guy." I was asking how he sounded.
I am familiar with his regular speaking voice.
He sounded like himself.
My daughter pointed at thim, and said," hey Mom that is the Guy from Peter Pan". She didnt even know that he was in Pirates or Willy Wonka.
I looked, and wasnt sure, so we could hear him talking to the server, and we were sure, it was him!
Huggle.Wuggles 11-05-2006, 06:11 AM My father accidently bumped into Walt on Main Street 50 years ago and had a small conversation with him.
You'll forgive me if I don't get impressed by any celebrity I or other people see in the parks. I figure my Dad's experience trumps all. :)
Wow! What an honor! To actully bump into AND speak with the legendary Walt himself!
I have never seen famous before...I might have but not realized it...lol
Yapperh 11-05-2006, 06:17 AM What famous people have you seen in Disneyland, or DCA, Downtown Disney, in a place near Disneyland, but owned by Disney?
I saw Aly & AJ on the "Club Buzz" Stage, but people at Disney took that stage out :(
Who have you seen?
i am glad they took the stage out the new one looks better and breaks down less
Softball_atTheDisco 11-05-2006, 05:07 PM LOL XD Oh gosh i would quit vmk in a second if he played...
I saw Jessica Simpson in Disneyland i think she was suppose to be with Ashlee... Oh gosh if i saw Ashlee simpson i would throw applesauce at her :38:
Well why??
KristyNWonder 11-05-2006, 05:21 PM My friend saw Tony Shalhoub (Monk) at Disneyland. He was going to go on Tower of Terror. I heard about Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) being at disneyland on an interview he did.
Neoteny 11-05-2006, 05:55 PM LOL XD Oh gosh i would quit vmk in a second if he played...
I saw Jessica Simpson in Disneyland i think she was suppose to be with Ashlee... Oh gosh if i saw Ashlee simpson i would throw applesauce at her :38:
I believe that's the exact reason why Disneyland is now offering the choice of applesauce instead of fries with their kids' meals: In case Ashlee Simpson happens to be visiting the park.
Caterpillar AEIOU 11-07-2006, 05:41 AM OK, it wasnt disneyland, but we saw Elliot Yamin ( from American Idol ) in Target yesterday.
volcombro 11-12-2006, 04:58 PM yesterday i saw hannah montana singing "rocking around the christmas tree "during the christmas parade, saw aly and aj singing their christmas song on stage infront of sleeping beauty's castle, daniel powter also singing and ryan seacrest hosting the disneyland portion of the walt disney world's christmas special on abc.JordieP and I are going to be on tv. woot woot!!
Zebraa 11-12-2006, 06:35 PM I believe that's the exact reason why Disneyland is now offering the choice of applesauce instead of fries with their kids' meals: In case Ashlee Simpson happens to be visiting the park.
Hey, I would rather throw applesauce then eat it!
okalyn 11-12-2006, 06:50 PM Lets see.. I believe On friday, there was an abc live celebration at disneyland. I went to down town disney, to go watch a movie at the amc theatres with some friends, and by Libby Lu, Ashley Tisdale was giving a speech. sadly we had no idea she was coming so...... Didnt bring our cameras lol
Neoteny 11-13-2006, 04:00 AM Nicole Richie was at DLR today. I didn't actually see her there myself, but I did see a few people who said they saw her.
Bilbo 11-13-2006, 06:08 PM So far, nobody yet. But 2 years ago, my brother and I saw Michael Jackson's limo in the parking lot of Epcot. I don't like him, and I just saw his head @_@ I'm going to Disneyland in February (I think), so I might see some peoples.
~Bilbo
coxxyroxxy 12-03-2006, 12:42 AM I saw Hannah montana, daniel powter, ryan seacrest, and aly and aj it was really cool

DizIceAngel 12-03-2006, 12:59 AM This wasn't in any of the Disney Parks, but I met Adam Wylie (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0943766/) from the play Into The Woods and The Disney Channel Original Movie, Under Wraps!
I met him in the back of Broadway where he was signing autographs, but he stayed lated to hang out with us. He was a really nice guy. I really wish he gave me his number though.
And I met Vanessa Williams and Michelle Trachtenberg at the same place.
Sdude 12-03-2006, 01:12 AM I was at the POTC 2 Premiere in WDW so i saw alot of people (movie and ride)
Neoteny 12-03-2006, 01:23 AM This wasn't in any of the Disney Parks, but I met Adam Wylie (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0943766/) from the play Into The Woods and The Disney Channel Original Movie, Under Wraps!

Adam Wylie used to be the Pizza Hut kid! I loved those commercials!
And I've been a fan of Michelle Trachtenberg ever since The Adventures of Pete and Pete!
hulajenny 12-03-2006, 01:46 AM I sat next to John Stamos (Uncle Jessy hehe) in Tough to Be a Bug ride at Cali Adventure. He even asked me to take a picture of him and the people with him.
Also went to the POTC2 premiere and was able to get the signature of Orlando Bloom, Kiera Knightly, and Jerry Bruckhiemer and other cool stars.
I also saw Chad Micheal Murray at DLR in frontierland. It was so funny because as soon as he walked by, about twenty girls were following after him with their cameras.
jdrocks 12-15-2006, 05:49 PM I was sitting right of the the restrooms od DCA and I was texting my best friend and Kay Panabaker said "Hi there." and I'm like "oh hi." Without even looking at her then i said "oh sorry I'm so rude my name is---"
And I saw Kay. She just laughed and said it was okay she was on vacation. This happened last year. I was soooo peralyzed (sp?) that I forgot to ask for an autograph!!!!!!!!!! DARN!
My most recent celeb sighting was earlier this year- spring I think- Christina Aguliera, who was being escorted by a Guest Services cast member.
Time before that was John Stamos, filming something for the parks, last year.
Kelsey Grammer was at the 50th anniversary. Saw plenty of celebs during the 50th kickoff party, too- but that was a VERY special occasion.
We geeked out over seeing Warwick Davis at BOMA in 2003. My friends and I are huge Willow and Star Wars fans. We were tempted to ask for an autograph- but hey, the guy was on vacation, too.
mkymsehi 01-07-2007, 02:24 AM Years ago, I saw the Olsen Twins (Mary Kate & Asley). They were probably only 11 or 12 at the time, and hanging out with friends of theirs. No bodyguards with them.
Another time, Jim McMahaon, the former quarterback of the Chicago Bears was in a ride line with his family.
chorustwo 01-07-2007, 02:32 AM I saw Raven Symone one time.. I got her autograph and met her like in MGM one time. It was cool.. I'm used to famous peeps.

Chaelle 01-13-2007, 01:45 AM I saw Whoopi GoldBerg several months ago at DLR getting on Space Mountain. She had a large group of people with her, and she had her hair in front of her face to help disguise herself.
Her hair gives it away. That's what makes her, her.

JeanPierre 01-13-2007, 04:17 PM Over Christmas my family was visiting DLR. On the 23rd we went to Disneyland. While waiting in the fast pass line of Haunted Mansion Holiday we spotted the Arquette family in the VIP line. David Arquette (has the new show "In Case of Emergency"), Patricia Arquette (stars on the NBC TV show "Medium", she was with the teen actress that plays her daughter (Ariel) on "Medium".) And also Courtney Cox-Arquette (her new show is Dirt on FX or USA I think) was also there with their little girl, Coco. There was another man with the group, he looked like an Arquette, may have been their brother Redmond, not sure about that.
It was very sureal and cool to see all of them together in a group at Disneyland just hanging out as a family no bodyguards or entourage. LOL There was one Disneyland security guard and 1 Disneyland castmember in a plaid blazer accompanying them. They must have got on the ride after us because the security guard and cast member were waiting at the end of the Doom Buggie exit when we got off the ride. The interesting thing was even though ppl in the line recognized them, nobody started yelling their names or tried to take pictures of them. We thought that was cool. :snow_cool: Sorry this was so long, but thanks for reading.

swimmingemma49 01-13-2007, 04:29 PM I played with Doug Flute's (Former AWESOME Patriots player... kicked a field goal last year so that he could say he scored every possible way or something before he retired) kids at a Disney resort once.

CapnOlaf 01-26-2007, 05:43 AM I went to EPCOT once, and I was looking at a poster for guest narrators at the candle precessional, and I saw people on the sign like.
Brian Dennehy(Sp?)
John O' Hurley
and Gary Sinise.
I couldn't believe they were there, but I didn't see the shows. :(
lilcrunchycheetoz 01-26-2007, 06:37 AM I'm pretty sure I saw Kirsten Dunst with a friend at Disneyland while waiting for the Haunted Mansion. The only reason bugging me is that I'm not quite entirely sure it was her.
Though YES. She did look like Kirsten Dunst with shades. She went through the Fastpass line though..but it happened about 4 years ago and my memory isn't all that good now as it was before. :D
DarthMelissa 01-26-2007, 07:45 AM (Embarrassed to admit the following)

Hey, I know them! I'm telling! LOL.
No seriously, Dean is a good family friend. I'll hide your post next time I see him.
BTW, Jan is no longer, so it is just Dean :(
We geeked out over seeing Warwick Davis at BOMA in 2003. My friends and I are huge Willow and Star Wars fans. We were tempted to ask for an autograph- but hey, the guy was on vacation, too.
I got to meet him in Indianapolis for the Star Wars convention (hey, I was just there to support my brother, tyvm) in 2005. I actually got to meet him. He was VERY gracious.
I was working the photo booth and his wife came over to buy pictures to have the other actors sign to take back to their kids' school. Can I just say that his little baby boy was like the cutest thing ever? He looked like a baby Ewok, without hair. I mean seriously, soooooo cute.
