H ello, Welcome back. Sometimes when we are watching a movie, we do not think about where the actors come from. I have become more interested in this and when I like an actor or actress, I look for some information about them and get to know them better. Last time I wrote about sean connery, so it is time to meet the next Scottish actor  In today's article I wanted to introduce to you the actor Ewan McGregor. Ewan Gordon McGregor was born on 31 March 1971 in Crieff, Scotland. H IS FIRST N AME is pronounced "you-an". H e is one of the most popular British actors. Each movie with his participation generates interest. McGregor decided to take a job as an actor after the success enjoyed by his uncle Denis Lawson. When he was 16, he joined the Perth Repertory Theatre in Scotland, but soon left and went to London to take up science in the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. his first film "Shallow Grave" captured the interest of critics and brought him good reviews. McGregor's real career began after he played a role in the movie "Trainspotting" in which he played a heroin addict Mark Renton. After this success, he was offered a role in one of the most famous movies in history "Star Wars." McGregor played the character of the young O biWan Kenobi.
