Ewan McGregor (born March 31 1971) is a Scottish actor.

He was born in Crieff, Scotland.

He is probably most well known for his role in The Phantom Menace, but came to prominence for his role as the drug-fiend Renton in the film version of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting (1996). This role followed hard on an impressive movie-debut performance in Danny Boyle's 1994 film Shallow Grave.
