I've met a few over the years.
I saw Lou Ferrigno, Peter Mayhew, Deep Roy, and Sean Patrick Flanery about two years ago at a comic convention. Didn't talk to them, but it was interesting to see them in person. It was funny because Flanery made eye contact with me as I walked by him and he stared at me for a couple seconds.
I also got to see the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz at the Mall of America eight years ago. You can imagine how old they looked.
In terms of [dub] anime celebrities, I met and briefly talked to Kyle Hebert. Nice guy. I also have an autograph from him.
Have you ever met a celebrity?

Oh, then I guess seeing both William Shanter, and Vic Minongna in person at Q and A panels ( at different times mind you) counts in that regard.
I've also come very close to getting Johnny Young Bosch's autograph once, but I was too late getting there, and he had to catch a flight back to L.A.. Oh well, someday!
Not exactly a celebrity in the usual meaning, but I once attended to a conference by Matiyasevich, who had demonstrated theorems in my mathematical courses. Unfortunately, he spoke in English, which I don't have too much troubles to understand, but the very technical side of the conference made the whole thing rather difficult
On the more classical celebrities, I met Julian Glovers, who played General Veers in Star Wars, and Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO. Both times I could have asked for an autograph, both times I didn't asked for one While I always have found C-3PO annoying, Daniels wasn't annoying at all despite having a similar behavior

The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

To those that are asking if certain celebrities count: yes, those do count. If they are well-known in their field of work, then they are a celebrity.
Are you talking about Tara Strong?
