Trust me. I’m The Doctor.

I'm not going to count the numerous people I've seen in plays or concerts or whatever, just people I've actually run into in the 'real world', totally out the blue.

Alan Rickman, Foyles bookstore in London. Early 90's, he had bright blond hair (for a film role?), I was browsing the shelves, looked up and there he was, a little way down the aisle. I was too *beep* to say anything (I was a massive teenage Die Hard fan) but I sort of lurked and heard him speak to a braver fan than me in tones that were definitely Rickman-esque... wished I'd had the guts to say hello, he seemed like a really nice guy...

Bill Nighy, a couple of years ago, again in London. Just left a restaurant with my Mum, she's a huge fan of Richard Curtis movies, saw him and squealed like a teenage girl, said 'Hello, Bill!', he looked up and did that whole vaguely distracted (yet still pleasant) thing that he does in all his movies, said 'hello, hi', waved a bit and walked on...

This won't mean much to most people outside of the UK, but the late great Caroline Aherne in Manchester, huge fan of The Royle Family, passed her on Oxford Road, she caught me spotting her and gave me a beautiful smile and said 'alright, mate?'

Richard Attenborough
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000277/?ref_=nv_sr_6
came into the bookshop where I worked when I was 18. I had no idea who he was when I served him, but one of my older colleagues told me, and my mother was "squeeing" I believe it's called when I told her.
My brother once sold an SLR camera to Cliff Richard, and embarrassed himself by saying when handed the credit card "Wow, you have the same name as that famous singer!"
Cliff was pleased and invited my brother and his girlfriend to his concert in Wellington and drinks afterwards.

(I came over from the RFS board with this when someone suggested that I should) 
