Wrestler Jake "The Snake" Roberts - At of all places in the gym at a maximum security prison in Huntsville (Did a testimonial at the Mike Barber Show when Mike Barber came to the prison I worked at). I was angry that the Warden did not let him bring the snake.
Chris Kyle - At a training class about 2 weeks before he was murdered. This big burly red headed guy walked up to me and said, "Hi, I'm Chris". I did not know who he was until he was introduced.
Chuck Norris - At Pizza Hut in Navasota. I did not approach him, he was there having a pan pizza and a pitcher of soda. This was when Walker Texas Ranger was the most powerful force in the universe.
Neat experiences.

Bill’s prolly too old to choke her out…
If she was across the street and bleeding out, I’d probably stroll over to observe. I'd record it on my phone..... ROTFL........!!!!

Dont think Ive ever met a celebrity. you are not missing anything. You create this notion of what they are like in your mind then its a total letdown when you meet them in person. More often than not, I’d say you’re dead on, at least when it comes to character. I did meet Randy White, once, and that left an impression on me. He seemed nice enough, but that was one big man. He was old, too. I can’t imagine how intimidating he was in his prime.

I left out Larry Gatlin. I worked security for him at a show he did here, and after the show I helped him take all his stuff out and load it in his car. We started talking guns and he indicated that he was strapped for the show. We shot the breeze for a good while before he left.

The blonde woman from Walker Texas Ranger, at the rodeo one night. She was cordial. Ross Perot when I was young, didn’t have much to say to him as an 8-9 yr old, just knew he was on TV. Walked around the corner at the store and there he was, about the same height as I was, with those ears and glasses. Shook my hand, asked me a question or two.
I suppose those are the only semi famous people I’ve met.

I’ve met Richard Childress, Jack Roush, Tony Stewart’s dad, handful of race are drivers, Dierks Bentley, Ozzie Smith, Jose Canseco, Juan Gonzalez, and a few other baseball players and they were all very nice. Dierks too the time to walk over and take a picture with my wife. All the ball players I mentioned took the time to chat and sign autographs. Lots of good celebs out there the bad just overshadow them.

George Forman. I have met him several times and he has always taken the time to talk and shake my hand. He even opened the door for me on our way out of the business we were at.

Dana Carvey for me. Dude is just as hilarious when not in front of a crowd. Very down to earth and not your typical celebrity douche.

R. Lee Ermey, The Gunny We were making rockets for an episode of Lock N Load. He was like your crazy uncle, was as if I had known him all my life. We told him we were being lackadaisical and grabasstic and needed to be dressed down. He laughed and said no, we were working way too hard in the hot sun. Said he enjoyed dressing down actors, especially Baldwins.

Nicest I ever met was Sinbad. I was wandering the Panasonic camera booth at a LV trade show. There is a guy standing there that looks really familiar but I was thinking of someone I had known in my past. I finally said, “Dude I know you from somewhere” then reached over and turned his exhibit floor badge around and it said, “Sinbad”. He chuckled and I said well that explains it. Told him I was thinking he was someone I had worked with or gone to school with. We ended up chatting for a bout a half an hour. Told me his daughter was about to start film school and asked for my opinion on what would be a good camera for her to get started with. He gave me his card which I still have. He had a stroke within the last year and I haven’t heard how he is doing. Very nice guy.

Karl Rove. We BS'd for an hour at a party at my sisters house. He knows every county in Texas, and what the hunting is like all over the state. He's an avid deer hunter so we had a lot to talk about. All deer hunters ask each other the same questions as he did me; what rifle do you use, where do you hunt, do you own or lease, tell me about your lease arrangement.........
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Myron Floren. Was one of his "handlers" at a little German event where he was considered to be the main deal. Super humble. Made hormones flow in older women that had thought they had run dry.

In college in Las Vegas, NM, Lionel Taylor, receiver for the Denver Broncos would come and workout with us during basketball practice (mid sixties) before the season started. He wore this crazy rubber suit. Dude could play BB as well as catch passes.
