Possibly only Stargate SG1 fans or fans of Sanctuary might have heard of her, but Amanda Tapping.

I met her a few years ago at a Sci Fi convention when I was sitting outside the main hall. She was right beside me and chatting to other people out there, but when I said hello, intending to compliment her in her role in the show she just cut me dead. Looked through me as if I didn't exist and all I said was hello and she did hear me and I didn't interrupt the conversation which had finished.

I've never forgotten that and it actually made the show less enjoyable for me. I stopped watching it not long
afterward.

.

aww she is lovely. i've met her a few times and she was only a bit off one time cos she was going out with her mates but that was okay lol thankfully she's not with him now! he was an arse!

most people i've met have been lovely. There's only been a couple who have been rude (there might be more but i don't remember)

anthon cotton
amanda donohoe - she's really horrible. avoids fans whatever way she can outside the studios - pulled a rude face to my mate

[Angel_Delights]

Oh Amanda Donohoe's an old has-been, she lives off that film she did with Oliver Reed and being in some LA cop show 20 years ago too, thinks of herself as a serious Hollywood star in interviews yet turns up in Emmerdale - says it all really.

I know he must get it all the time but politeness costs nothing. I was gutted because I love Gok on TV.

Ah see I've heard that Gok is lovely and exactly as he is on the show. We were on the lash once and met one of the women who had been on his show which was shown a week or two before, well we were so excited that we just had to say that we thought she looked great and was Gok as nice as he seemed? And she said "yes he's exactly like that" she said as well that he had given her his phone number and said call any time she needs him.

Apparently the make-up girls hated him, which is a good way of telling who is nice and who is not.

She's worked with a range of Hollywood actresses too, of which Nicole Kidman was very stuck up, wouldn't acknowledge the other actors and spent the whole time in her trailer.

However Julia Roberts and Kate Winslet were very nice apparently

Don't forget he bit the ear off a tramp when he staggered out of restaurant. Disgusting thuggish behaviour. Have never been keen on him but since then I refuse to watch him on tv.

Every single person who has met him says the same thing. Many journalists who have interviewed him have stated that he is one of the nicest people they have ever interviewed.

I love him even more!

[littlemunchkin]

Havers and Hanks! Gutted :-(

My dentist met Steve Martin and apparently he is right **** who is very full of himself.

[makara80]

No surprises here but one of my friends worked as a set designer on crap sitcom 'My Family'...

He said that Robert Lindsey was rude and arrogant whilst Zoe Wanamaker was lovely.

Have to admit that I've never heard a good thing about Robert!

He didn't come out of that encounter well at all. I know how someone looks is not something you should go by, but I do often go by the look in someone's eyes and he has a sharp calculating look in his.

I don't follow my own advice though. I've had a friend for years who I thought was a damn good friend but I looked in her eyes properly the other day and realise that I may have been wrong about her.

Rambling again...*sigh*...I blame the pain meds.

[Raspberry77]

People I have met:

Matt Le Blanc - extremely unpleasant and rude

Phil Tufnell & wife (Dawn) - we spent a day with them on a corporate event, they were great!

Natalie Appleton - lovely

Martine McCutcheon - lovely

Oz Clarke - hilarious especially when he got pi8sed at our winetasting event!

[JohnHughes]

I've never been keen on Alan Davies at all. That buffoonish act he puts on when he's on QI is really irritating, because in reality he's a gripey, grumpy git who speaqks to people like they are beneath him. He treats women appallingly aswell, if a few kiss and tells in the paper are to believed.

Didn't Caroline Quentin find him infuriating to work with on Jonathon Creek, or have I just dreamt that?

I forgot to mention Nigel Havers in my earlier post. He was appearing in the play 'Art' and refused point blank to give autographs because it would be giving a piece of himself away! what a knobber!

He suffered a brain injury when he had that crash recently and his personality has changed for the worse.

I had no idea about this at all! Christ, is he mental? The Alan Davies on QI must be 100% an act, they should give his spot to a genuine person and not a character.

[tinkerbell987]

Didn't Alan Davies date Julia Sawhalia? i'm sure he fell out with her family & think she may have stopped speaking to them as well because of him. luckily she came to her senses and got rid of him.

[Little Stranger]

It would be interesting to know what Stephen Fry thinks of him.

She could never be arsed to attend the Soap Awards too...such a pity about her attitude, as I like her character

[Justboy]

Met Lilly Allen about a year ago, she was one of the most horrible people I've ever met, me her and my cousin were just sitting talking and she felt it would be acceptable to piss in a bin when there was a toilet in the room, real classy girl . I've also met Florence from Florence And The Machine, met her twice and both times she was really lovely

I didn't trouble him for his signature, but thought what a lovely down to earth guy ..... no diva actions he could have been anyone.


We are supposed to be unveiling the opposite on here!!

[Jezebeth]

I think it's turned into naming both nice and nasty just to show the contrast between the two!

[Scott_P]

Guy that used to play Bombhead in Hollyoaks is a massive massive ****. When i was 18 or 19 he used to turn up randomly in the bars around here on student night, always walking around with a massive entourage of absolute knobbers giving it the "don't you know who I am?" line.

Yeah, you're a ****ing ****.

[wonkeydonkey]

I know that this will surprise no one, but Stephen Fry seems angelically lovely and Jimmy Saville seems a bit up himself. Have also seem Emma Thompson being very charming to passing strangers (and looking gorgeous as well).

Awwww.....seriously...what a nice man. Despite the fact that he was there to watch and enjoy the match, he still found time to sign autographs.

That's the least of the allegations against him...

Emma Thompson lives in my neck of the woods when she is up in scotland and is such a down to earth normal lady who is well liked by all that meet her, jury is out a bit on her hubby but boy is he hot!!!
