Relatively simple but interesting thread that I saw on another forum. Who is the most famous person born in your hometown/city?
Unless I'm missing someone obvious, mine's is fairly easy. The actor Brian Cox.
Oddly enough, I'm even met him whilst he was filming a TV show outside my house. After years of watching him in various media, it was still weird to hear him in his Dundonian accent.
The only other one I would perhaps consider would be video game developer David Jones. However, I'd say that it's his creations (Lemmings, Crackdown and the big one, Grand Theft Auto) that are certainly more famous than the man himself, so it didn't feel right mentioning him.
