If we're allowed to do a "six degrees of separation" sort of thing, then I "know" Sir James Galway. My flute teacher and the guy who did all the wallpaper in my house both know him, and my dad says maybe I could get to meet him sometime, which would be quite amazing.

I have worked with someone who's late husband had been a friend of Professor Tolkien when he was writing LoTR. Both she and her husband had worked at Oxford as lecturers in modern languages and had met Tolkien, socially and professionally, on many occasions. I didn't find out until after she retired and moved away.

I have met Andy Serkis, Sala Baker, and Alan Lee.

I've met Sean Astin at his book signing. I don't know if this technically counts as "knowing" him, but I'll pretend and live in my own little fantasy.
