I pretty much grew up in LA and have met many actors and people you would see regularly on television. Not a single one of them really stood out as a significant person to me though if I'm to be frank. I came from a somewhat poor background and didn't find anything intriguing about the rich narcissists that lived in the Hollywood Hills area. It wasn't until I left California that I got to meet people that really changed the way I look at the world.

As far as famous people that I actually like go Bob Dylan was a cool guy that I got to meet about two years ago in Seattle. He is just a nice all around guy.

A few years ago I met a homeless guy outside of a 7/11 in Nevada. I sat with him and he gave me a lot of conventional wisdom about finding who I am in a world where people want you to be what they want. I'll probably never meet that guy again but he was so smart, so keen, and just a great guy to talk to during my emotional twenties.

My own wife is someone that really changed my outlook. In my twenties I was a self destructive, and angry sort of guy. I had a lot of pent up aggression and angst that I needed to get over and when I found her she really was able to help me switch that whole thing around and she imbued me with the idea of self love, and affection.

Not sure if these answers suffice but that is just a list of people that have changed me over the years.
