I've always liked Celebrities that were known to be friendly and good natured. So I am curious as to what Celebrities you've met that came across as genuinely good-hearted people. Rocket Ismail - This guy will talk your ear off if you let him. I was suprised at how friendly (and funny) he was. Jim Caveziel - I actually felt sorry for this guy because he was incredibly nervous about being on live TV. He was a very genuine person. Anthony Evans - not too much of a celebrity yet. He's a Gospel singer who is currently on Christina Aguilleras team on The Voice. One of the nicest people I've ever dealt with. John Tesh - Just a nice guy. Drew Pearson - Great guy, very friendly. Bill Land (SA Spurs commentator) - Will go out of his way to help you. Randy McIlvoy (ch.2 sports) - worked with him for several years back around 2000..truly a nice guy Pat Boone - regardless of his thoughts on politics etc..I found myself in disbelief when he was constantly apologizing to me when one of his employees forgot to send some things to us in advance of his appearance on our network. He was very friendly the entire time.
Fiance's cousin works for NBC editing The Office. He says Steve Carell is very down to earth all around nice family oriented guy.
Michael Cera will talk to you about video games and s**t. Saw him at a zoo in Omaha. All I knew him from was Arrested Development, cool dude.

T will. Met him at Gucci during preseason. He talked to me and my cousin who was from Scotland and he tweeted a pic of us with him. Jr smith is pretty cool too Galleria has a ton of athletes.
D. Rose can be reticent. He's not one to smile or talk a lot. Dirk is really friendly. Shawn Marion is another one. Shaun Cody, Miles Austin, D.Ware, Mike Ribeiro(Dallas Stars), are all friendly. Thabeet. Unfriendly- Ibaka, Mutombo(when angry), most ESPN reporters(Sal Pal, not Rachel Nichols).
For me being in SoCal close enough to Hollywood, I have NOT seen many celebrities. Around here you get a lot of D-list "up n comers" trying to make it, like some goofy ska bands with mini-followings & that kind of thing. I guarded Jeff Garcia a couple possessions in a b-ball game. Definite nice guy. Johnny Rzeznik from Goo Goo Dolls was pretty laid back. Sean Rooks former NBA center was really cool bar hopping it up WELL past his playing days lol
I think Marbury is a definite tale of TOO much too soon for a YOUNG guy. Wanted to have his heart in the right place but too many pressures and hangers-on stunted his maturation.
