I've had a few sightings in my time. A few short ones, Jameson Parker (from the TV show Simon and Simon) came into the mini mart I used to work at and I've pumped gas for Sam Elliot.
My personal favorite (said with dripping sarcasm) was David Ogden Steirs. You remember, Major Winchester from M.A.S.H. What an ASS. He used to come into the antique store that I worked at just out of high school. He wanted to be noticed. The first time he was in I acted like he was just any other customer, because you always hear how stars don't want undue attention drawn to them. Not this guy. He lit up like a christmas tree when my boss recognized him and started gushing over him. He was totally pompus. When she told him how much she had liked him in M.A.S.H, and how much she loved him in Perry Mason, he looked down his nose at her and went into a diatribe about him also being on the board at Julliard. My boss did put him in his place though. She told him that he wasn't famous for that, he was famous for being on T.V.
After that he tended to be a bit more subdued when he came in (he came in about 4 or 5 times), but was still rather snotty. I stopped helping him when he made fun of how I talked. I have a little bit of a lisp and tend to slur sh sounds. The jackass actually taunted me about it.
