Ted would be cool to meet. I bet I could even talk him into going on a hunt with me.

Strictly going with living people, here are the first five that pop out of my head without putting much thought into it:
Joss Whedon
Nathan Fillion
Weird Al Yankovic (seen him in concert twice, but that doesn't count)
Queen (the surviving members, anyway)
Can't really pin down a fifth one. That's the problem for me when thinking too much about these questions, I tend to keep changing my mind and rotating different people in and out of the list.

I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks |

1: Kim Jong Un, it'd just be hilarious.

3: Christopher Walken

5: Alchestbreach, probably the most famous Fallout player on Youtube and a never ending source of humour, guy says the funniest things during videos.
If I could meet people who were already dead though, I'd very much like to meet J.R.R Tolkein.

1. Go to FLGS on a 40K game night.
2. Announce to no one in particular "I have over 10,000 points of Space Marines".
3. Sit back and watch as some 30-ish Neckbeard who still lives with his parents not only disputes your claim, but goes on to describe his 30,000 points of Blood Angels and how he has been playing since Rogue Trader days... And yet you will have never seen him either play 40K or that army.
4. From here, you have several options. Continue the conversation, or just end it. Either way, I guarantee you will waste 1+ hour of your life talking to this guy. Have fun!

1. BRIAN BLESSED - because.
2. Sir David Attenborough - Perhaps the single greatest influence on my life, knowledge and opinions for a person I've never met.
3. Trent Reznor - Greatest musician of our times.
4. Natalie Portman - Wickedly intelligent and I'd get to be near Natalie Portman...
5. Barry Humphries - An excellent raconteur and wit.
And if I were to have one resurrection for the occasion, Peter Ustinov, fascinating teller of tales and beautiful mind.

*I was in Atlanta when the Dali Lama was speaking, I was going to go, but it was WAY the hell away from my fiancee`s college campus and we decided to just get dinner and go on a walk instead, while the alternative was extremely enjoyable, I do regret getting to be there to hear the Dali Lama speak.
**Post retirement, with other people I know are cool around, steaks on the grill and beer in the cooler, Mattis is a freaking warrior god to me, and I just want to pick his brain about the universe at large.
***He spoke at my university this last semester. I was going to go but tickets sold out within like 30 minutes of the box office opening. Same damn thing happened to me with Flogging Molly.
