When I was 17 and Ray was 13, I sparred with him. I had 7" and 100 pounds on him easily, and in the entire session, I couldn't lay a hand on him even once. He's the first person I ever saw do the "Matrix duck" (leaning backwards far enough and fast enough to avoid a blow). Even though we only sparred for five minutes, I could tell then he was going to be incredible. My bright red calves from all of his kicks showed that muchheh

When I was 3 and Ray was 1 I sparred with him. He drank a ton of whiskey beforehand and then did every movie in every martial arts movie ever made at the same time. Then I poked him in the chest with one finger and he died. True story.

When I was 82 and Ray was 91 I sparred with him. We played Bob Dylan in the background as we did so, and then a small, but tactical team of bank robbers descended on us (we were sparring in a bank), and me and Ray took them all down.

Yeah he is a really fun guy to talk to. I met him at the SciFi Con in Stockholm, Sweden a couple of years ago.
He was slightly tired though of all the kids wanting autographs and pictures of darth maul. Not rude in anyway, but more that is seems he was thinking "will I only be remembered for darth maul for the rest of my career?"
So when I came up with a copy of Sleepy Hollow (he is the headless horseman when he is headless) he shined and we talked for like 20 minutes on movies he had done (except for SW :P).
I'm the honest type so I told him I thought that he got is ass kicked in Ballistic was stupid.
Nice guy all round I must say. -

Just met him at Planet Comicon in Kansas City and he was absolutely wonderful. Like the original poster said he took the time to talk to every fan that was at his table and took pictures for free. He talked with my friend and I for a couple minutes and even recognized us on the second day of the event. He even had a mock lightsaber fight with a group of children that were there! So sweet and wonderful. Genuinely nice and down to earth guy and I hope he has nothing but success in the rest of his career, he now has a fan for life!

I just met Ray this weekend at the Super Megafest in MA. he was awesome, very nice guy. yes, I was charged for a (professional) photo and autograph, but everyone else there charged as well. It was the event, NOT Ray. He was warm, kind, excited and happy to be there. Some celebrities that were there did not appear do excited.
So, I agree with the original poster, Ray is a very cool guy and very nice. -

Completely agree! I met Ray this past weekend at Cardiff Film & Comic Con. I wrote a little review about meeting him -

Next one here to totally agree..
Met him yesterday at the Sci-Fi convention in Stockholm with my kids.
My 7 year old had his Darth Maul robe and his double lightsaber with him,
Ray asked how he was and asked if he could borrow his lightsaber for a second..
Of course he could, then he came out to us, flipped the lightsaber out in a cool way, made some awesome spins and moves before fistbumping my big-eyed, smiling 7 year old.
Respect! -

waiting in that really long line, being surrounded by pissy die-hard fans, giving up $40 for an autograph. Meeting him was a real experience. Not only he was super nice, but he smelled so good. I did get a picture with him, as well. I drew him, and I forgot to ask if he could sign it, so I kind of went beside his table, asking the lady that was with him, if he could sign it, and if it was extra She said "yes, normally it would", but she let me get it for free. He complimented it, of course. I can hear people behind me getting pissed. I know, I probably should've waited back in that line. Even while waiting in that line, you can feel the tension.
