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.
