Michael Madsen was brought into my office for a potential scifi film we were in preproduction on. I had no idea he was coming to the studio, and I didn't know exactly how to maintain my cool. I showed him some of the concept work we were working on for a character he was considering playing, and after pointing out some boring details, I pointed out a vague area in the art, and said we imagine this is the bathroom, in case your character needs to take a dump.

Got a fucking awesome burst of laughter from him. Great guy, cool as a cucumber, shorter than I thought, alas the film was never produced.

It was pretty surreal. I immediately played Stuck in The Middle With You for the rest of the CG guys as soon as he left the department.
