  Happy Birthday To Ewan McGregor

  
The man who managed to blow us all away in following the steps of Sir Alec
  Guinness (or START the trend, depending on which way you look at the films of
  the Star Wars saga) is 34 today.  He was born on March 31, 1971 in the city of
  Crieff, Perthshire, in Scotland.  He left home at age 16, to start working in the
  Perth Repertory Theatre in Scotland.  And the rest, as they say, is history..

  When interviewed at one point during his career of portraying Obi-Wan Kenobi,
  Ewan's reply was "Actually, I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big   pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting".  You can read more on
  Ewan's accomplishments here.

  Ewan, you've pulled it off.. Have a great birthday!

  thing.
