Mandy Patinkin--I met him once, but I'd love to meet him again. :) I will say to him, "Hello, my name is Inigo Mentoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." I bet he hates that now. I'd also like to meet (for the first time) Christopher Guest--a true comic genius! "Our amps go to eleven." Actually I will say "Hello..." to him instead since he is the six-fingered man. :)
