"Trent Reznor.Both worst and best. I was 17 or 18 doing seasonal work at a Best Buy, he was visiting family for Christmas and buying presents. My manager told me he'd been coming in for years and not to bother him unless he approached me for help.F**k that, I'm going on break. I go smoke a cigarette and see him and his assistant loading his SUV. I go talk to him just wanting to say I'm a fan. Very nice, asked if he wanted me to sign anything. I had my copy of Pretty Hate Machine sitting in my car and went and grabbed it. Thanked him for signing it said it was nice meeting him.Two days later my car was broken into, that CD and everything else of worth was stolen from my car. About a month later my girlfriend broke up with me. Three months later my permanent job at the time (not the seasonal job) was forced to let me go due to cutbacks.Trent Reznor cursed me by signing a CD."
"Not so much as an encounter, but it was kinda funny and I still laugh about it. I managed to work my way to the front of a Rob Zombie concert at the beginning of the show. He was doing the typical are you ready to rock and getting everyone amped up and everyone was screaming and all as usual. Anyways he looks down, makes eye contact, and points right at me. I won't lie, I just froze for a second, made the devils horn symbol and yelled "Yah rock!" He waved me off dismissively with a pfft and went on with his set. I felt like I let Rob Zombie down."
"I was Ralph Fiennes' cocktail waitress. He was a bit sleazy/flirty and I liked it."
"Someone on 4chan posted Billy Bob Thorton's phone number once. I don't know who did it. I didn't believe it at first but I called the number. Some dude picked up and said Billy Bob was singing karaoke. At this point I didn't believe it was really his number anymore so I just told him to tell Bill Bob that "Jon" had called and to call back when he could. Then I hung up.Three minutes later I got a call on my phone, I pick it up and **BILLY S******G BOB M***********G THORTON IS ON THE LINE.** I am absolutely 100% sure it was him, it sounded exactly like him. He asked who I was and why I called and I just told him I was a fan and I just wanted to call to say hi. He was really nice, he thanked me for "sharing the love". I asked him what he was working on at the time and he said he was shooting the Astronaut Farmer movie and that he was having a lot of fun with it. The conversation only lasted about 5 minutes.To this day, nobody I have ever told about my phone call with Billy Bob Thorton in person has believed me. But either it was him, or a very talented imposter, because it the man on the other side of that line sounded exactly like him."
"Camped next to Rickey (Rob Wells) from Trailer Park Boys (In Nova Scotia), we drank with him and smoked with him, Best encounter!"
They ended up not using the scene. But it was an unexpected fun little adventure. When I later counted the wad of bills, it was $376.00.
By the way...The movie was called, "Malice."
