I've never done one of these, so figured I would for once.
Back in 1981 I lived in Boulder City, NV. I was in 6th grade at the time. We often went down to Lake Mead to go boating or swimming. One of our common visiting spots was the Lake Mead Marina, where we'd go feed stale popcorn to the carp.
While tearing around the walkways with my visiting cousin right behind me, I turned a corner and ran into Hervé Villechaize. As in -- literally -- ran into. Just about knocked us both into the lake, in fact.
And I'll tell you what... that little dude could swear. Holy cats could he.

I nearly walked all over Arsenio Hall once.
I was working as a messenger in the late '80s, and I had a package to deliver somewhere in Hollywood. I found the right bungalow and climbed up the stairs at top speed. Arsenio Hall was at the top of the stairs and I had to screech to a halt to not Big Foot all over him. Sorry Arsenio! :D
He's a lil' dude.
