I know there was a black kid that got murdered a few years back that had the same name as me, I saw a documentary about his murder.

Also, there is a country singer with my name, crazy part is our birthdays are 14 days apart according to Wiki. Both of us born same year also.

I went to high school with a guy named Michael Jackson, he was a white boy, and allegedly gay, he drove an 80s Camaro. I also was a grade behind Jack Dawson like from titanic. I cooked chicken with Jerry Lee Lewis at KFC. Oh, and I share the name of one of the new kids on the block. And, no it's not one of the Wahlbergs. I have an H in my first name, he doesn't.

There's a dentist named John Voight.  The actor doesn't use an H in his first name, so there is that.  Somebody bought John's car and thought it was the actor's car!  Can you believe it?!?!

My name is different than most but I'm shielded by a couple of more famous guys.

One is a professional sports player and the other is a country/folk singer. Both are tier two guys but big enough to hide me.

We're all about the same age and I look a bit like the singer I'm told.

30 years ago I stopped a guy for speeding. When I got to his window he said, “You’re going to give me a ticket.”

“Actually, I was going to give you a warning, unless you want a ticket.”

As he handed me his DL he said, “I always get a ticket.”

His name was Richard Petty. After I stopped laughing I gave him back his license and told him to slow down.

He had a couple bothering him at record store, they wanted him to sigh some CD's.
He sighed them "To a couple of A holes" and they were happy about it.

Had this kid in HS PE class that I accidentally drilled in the face with a dodge ball.

Motherfucker grabbed that ball. Walked 2 feet away from me and hit me in the head with it as hard as he could. Ball went flying across the gym. I couldnt feel my face. I stood there a bit shocked not sure what to do next

Guy said wait till we get in the locker room

He never did shit beyond some intimidation tactics. One day after he did a faint at me and I didnt flinch he shook my hand and it was over

Been awhile but last I heard he stabbed and robbed some old lady

Dude name is Will Smith

I share the name of a certain conservationist that seems to have a lot of parks and wilderness areas named after him.  

It’s gets kind of exhausting to have every friend, family member and coworker on wilderness vacations sending me pics of them standing next to signs with my name on them.  Yes, I’m aware of that guy.

@Riter  Nope. He was quite the opposite.  Great guy, My wife and I went to his house a couple of times for cookouts with his wife and some friends.

He got let go from work during the second lay-offs the company had, I was let go during the third.

I wonder what happened to him.
