I have met a few actors and actresses but find it much more interesting to find a WWII fighter pilot and listen to the stories they tell. In the town I grew up in there were three old men in the local store every morning telling stories to anyone that cared to take the time to listen. I heard more than my share of stories and sadly two of them have since passed on. There will always be actors, sure its cool to meet them but what do you really come away from your meeting with, maybe an autograph or a picture. Now compare that to meeting a vet, there are precious few of them left and less and less of them each year. They may not be famous, but you will come away with a piece of history. Give me a piece of history anyday, you can keep the overpaid actors.
