No way. <br /><br />I guess I'd end up going with Connery as well - mostly out of peer pressure, but also because he's deserving - but Ewan would be my #2, for his Scottish rant in Trainspotting alone ("We're worse than the Brits! They're just wankers! We're colonized by wankers!" - I'm paraphrasing and going from memory...).Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337478312308606554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741847941083055388.post-27491214680822874122012-04-18T12:29:45.348-05:002012-04-18T12:29:45.348-05:00I thought Carlyle was Irish too.

And even though he isn't an actor, I still have to give a shout out to Gordon Ramsay. Like Mike Myers used to say on SNL, "If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!!!".Mrs. Thuro's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236583453786495363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741847941083055388.post-89152969608392754142012-04-17T22:31:49.476-05:002012-04-17T22:31:49.476-05:00I actually haven't seen McKidd in too much, ha...I actually haven't seen McKidd in too much, having never seen an ep of Grey's.

Makes sense and definitely mind blown. I would add Kevin McKidd (also in Trainspotting). He's really sweet on Grey's Anatomy (don't pretend you're surprised I still watch it).Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679283194534387443noreply@blogger.com
