Sean Connery - Mr 007 himself! Crowned as the best screen Bond of all time and an acting career of 50 years sees him as a famous Scot BUT a famous Edinburger....Ewan MacGregor - personally known best for his role in Moulin Rouge with Nicole Kidman - wow. Born in Creiff though - still not a Glaswegian.....
Gerard Butler - A former lawyer, he turned to acting in the mid 1990s and has starred in films such as P.S I love You and Law Abiding Citizen. From Paisley, Glasgow - finally!
Which helps me to decide who to write about- a man born and raised in the same town as myself. Gerard attended Glasgow University where he obtained a law degree. After being approached in a London coffee shop about a role in a stage production, he decided to put his solicitors' skills to bed and become an actor - what a wise decision!! Since then his success has been unlimited starring in over 15 films in the last 14 years. My personal favourite is Law Abiding Citizen. In a story of crime, revenge and some stomach turning violence, Gerard plays lead role of the victim plotting revenge on the two villains that killed his wife and child ten years previous. Cunning, spine chilling and most definitely a must see!
