    He is on "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." So he's got that going for him ... which is nice.

    He's constantly all over ... actually it was a commentary on my own mistake. He likes 311 which automatically makes him awesome.

    I just had maybe my favorite celebrity sighting ever, so time to bump this one up. Had to run out to buy a birthday card for someone, and was walking by a diner with windows you can look into and sitting by himself eating was the actor who plays Commissioner Rawls on The Wire. I realize this will mean something to only like 5 percent of the board, but it was sooooooo cool.

    I am 95 percent sure it was him. He looked right at me and I was staring and he had a bemused look like he is used to people sort of recognizing him, which made me think even more that it was him. Area I was walking is a place they do a ton of movie filming too, so not beyond the realm of reason they are filming something with him in it and he took off to get away and get some food.

    I was working as a bouncer in a Nightclub on the Gold Coast of Australia. During this time we had many Aussie sports stars as well as a few minor celebrities come in. My best encounter with celebrity was one night after the movie "Street Fighter" starring Jean Claude Van Damme wrapped up.

    JCVD came in with his business manager and stand-in. They proceeded to a corner table where they had comped drinks all night. Eventually after they had picked out the 6 girls they would drink with, his manager said that JC no longer wanted to be disturbed. I stood sentry by his table telling people to have a look and keep moving.

    The group got progressively drunker and I was charged with clearing a path to the dance floor so that the group could dance. For this I was rewarded with a thumbs up from JC while he danced to Haddaway's "What is Love?" (The Night at the Roxbury song)

    Eventually they made their way back to the table. I resumed sentry duty which was getting pretty darned old by this point when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to have a champagne-breathed JCVD right in my face with a dopey grin say "Chet can you get me some condoms?"

    I signalled over the club manager who procured the requested condoms from the vending machine in the bathroom. The rest of the night was pretty uneventful as the group got drunker and eventually left the club.

    Van Dam did provide one more memorable quote when he was leaving the club. Someone in line mouthed off about how short JCVD was and that he "didn't look so tough"

    Without breaking his stride Van Dam blew past him while saying loud enough to hear in his goofy Belgian accent..."Look at you..a real Saturday Night Champion"

    The term "Saturday Night Champion" instantly entered my vocabulary where it sadly remains to this day.

    I also peed in the urinal next to Sean Connery at a bathroom in Sutton Place in Toronto during the film festival.
