Pretty damn easy thread. Anyone you grow up with make it big? Anyone before your time? Bob Dylan and Kevin McHale from my town, gotta love me some Dylan!


Mods feel free to move this if its in the wrong area.

Bill Murray for me too - used to trick-or-treat at his house and he always had snausages for me. Joe Belladona and Scott Ian of Anthrax used to beat me up and take my (dog) arcade money. My sister went to undergrad with Parker Posey and I knew her then (I didn't like her). After moving to Baltimore, I knew all kinds of folks. Used to party with the mother of Snoop (from 'The Wire') and knew Snoop when she was a little kid - some other folks from The Wire as well. Lots of B-more locals in that. John Waters too (Hairspray was the 1st film my sister worked on).

Went to high school and was friends with Frank Bank...........Lumpy on Leave it to Beaver. Also knew, Phil Spector and Russ Titleman, both record producers along with Annette Klienbard from an old group called The Teddy Bears. Also friends with Dennis Provisor from the Grass Roots. Ex-wife (about 15 years my junior) was close friends with Eddie Van Halen when they were a garage band in Pasadena.

Born and raised in Beverlywood, right next door to Beverly Hills in SoCal. Way too many famous people to even list here.

A friend of mine graduated with Adam Sandler (about 45 minutes away from me).

I went to a high falootin' boarding school, so there were plenty of famous names there before & after me. Coors, Molson, Getty, Zuckerberg, lead singer of Arcade fire, some presidential kids, etc. Hung out with Uma Thurman's brother when I was there (she wasn't famous then).

I was friends in High School with Charles Levin, who appeared in many movies and TV shows- most notably the Cop on "Alice" and played the "shaky" Mohel in a Seinfeld episode.

I grew up on the outskirts of Houston, lots of good musicians grow there, most famous would be ZZ Top~ Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill, Frank Beard. My o'l man went to the same high school as Rev' Billy G, and grew up around the same area, even sort of looks like him a bit :cool: and happens to also be a musician.

I just found out that Stevie Nicks went to the same high school as my sons did........Arcadia High School. It's the same high school track that I currently run at.

Wow. I've been a fan of hers ever since I bought her first album "Buckingham Nicks", pre-Fleetwood Mac.

I don't like naming names due to privacy, but a friend of mine from film school is now a cinematographer on some pretty big Hollywood flicks. Another is an actor...he was in lost, and many other films.

Would be nice if some of their sparkle rubbed off on me. :razz:
