Well, excluding famous people I've seen acting on stage or playing in a ballgame:
Vince Vaughn (walking down the street in downtown Chicago. Also, at a Cubs game, he was filming a scene for some crappy romantic comedy. Dude is tall.)
Dick Gephart (at an airport in Iowa when he was running for Prez. in 04. Got his autograph for my good friend, who at the time was the head of the Gephart campaign on campus.)
Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea (I was a kid on vacation with my family in Wyoming. We were at a rodeo, and all of a sudden everyone turns away from the action and looks out through the back fence to the road, where a caravan of black SUVs is driving towards the stadium. Turns out to the the then-current President and his family, also on vacation. They sat maybe 20 yards from me. After the rodeo, Bill and Hillary shook hands with everyone outside near the parking lot. It's not often you get patted down by a secret service agent when you're in elementary school! In retrospect, they were at a rodeo in a state that wasn't exactly filled with supporters, but they came out and were really great and gracious with the crowd. I always respected them after that. Also, even then I thought that Chelsea must be living a weird, weird life.)
Can't think of anyone else right now. But it's always been my policy to not bother a celeb if I come across one (politician's excepted, they literally owe us). They don't need to be bothered and really, I don't care that much.
