I'd like to meet:
In an acquaintance, a cheery personality and similar ideals.
In a close friend, strong beliefs (be they the same as mine or not), an understanding of cinema as an artform, and my trust.
In a companion, passionate intersts, a love of the arts and a strong personaltity.
Of course, any of my impersonal heroes would be great as well.
