Neil Armstrong - used to play celebrity golf tournaments.

Ihhave never asked nor otherwise seeked out an autograph in my life, yet somehow I ended up with…

Judith Hoag who played April O’Neal in the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I was friends with her nephew for a while and when he asked if I wanted her autograph I said “sure”.

and

Joseph Barbara of Hanna-Barbera. My work put me in close proximity to him for a while, just a couple of years before he passed, and I think that he just signed pictures to give him something to do when he came in the office.

I think that’s it. Nothing all that exciting, even if I was the type to get excited about autographs.

Joe DiMaggio

Douglas Adams. Came across a signing and by random had borrowed the hardcover of So Long and Thanks For All the Fish (with the hologram on the front) and took it as a sign. Paid off the library…

Alan Rickman, the entire Voyager cast and half the LOTR cast.

I have an autographed original drawing. Unfortunately, it’s a drawing of the Sandman, by Neil Gaiman. Yeah… I don’t have that on display in my house anymore.

Afroman. We were watching the trial on the news and I asked myself “Does this dude still tour?”. Coincidentally, when I looked it up, he was going to be in the same tiny Midwest town we were visiting in only a few days, so I bought tickets. The guy is a born entertainer!

I have a bass guitar autographed by Steve Vai, Tosin Abasi, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt, and Zakk Wylde. It was my first “real” instrument that I got for my 17th birthday, the bass that I learned on, and has been by my side my whole life. She’s retired and hangs on the wall in my studio.

Brendan Frasier, although I haven’t actually met him in person. His mom worked at the same place as my mom, and they arranged to get me a signed Encino Man poster.

Arnold Schwarzenegger. When he was running for govenor, he had a rally nearby a doctors office I just happened to have an appointment at near the same time and I was able to get in line to shake hands and get the autograph. I’m not sure if I still have the autograph book he signed tho. My mom had it stored with a bunch of my old kid stuff growing up and I don’t think it was brought with us when we moved and I can’t ask her now since she’s no longer with us. Gotta go through all the stuff still packed up in the closets.

I also got Mitch Hedberg’s autograph. It’s just not the Mitch Hedberg you might have imagined upon reading that. But he is/was also a comedian. Saw him and a couple other small time comedians at a local club. His name was a large part of his set.

Christopher Judge 😍

Nana Visitor, Terry Farrell and Nicole de Boer.

I’d love to get one from Avery Brooks, but I don’t think he does that anymore.

Tony Hawk and Steve-O

I have worked in and around the entertainment industry in various roles for many years. I have quite a few. Most recently would be the members of GWAR, Ensiferum, and Korpiklaani.

I got the autographs of the original Black Sabbath lineup at a promo for their reunion tour in 99 or 2000. Ozzy smudged his marker so I got his fingerprint as a bonus.

Got my dad a Ted Nugent autograph since I knew he was a fan. He was at the local sportsman’s gear show, so I was cool with going to that anyway. I think that’s the first time I saw a live bald eagle up close, so that was really cool. Ted played some guitar, which was good, and then gave a really strange talk. I only later learned everything else about Ted other than he liked to hunt, so that is a very mixed experience in hindsight.

Got Jerry Lawler’s at a ComicCon where he was promoting his comic. Got Adam West’s there too.

The ex got the Ghost Hunters’ at a different ComicCon. She was very excited, but I had no idea who they were at the time.

When I was a kid I wrote to a few baseball rookies and got their autographs. I still have them somewhere, but nobody who ever became anybody. There was a player with the same name as me that I wrote a few times, but he never wrote back. Jerk.

Those are all the ones I can think of.
