  1. Such talented guy, he delivered the most well acted scene last year in The Impossible. My favorite work of his is Trainspotting, for me he will always be Renton.

  2. Nice to see one of my Scottish brethren get a mention here Nostra. I like McGregor a lot. I’d have to second Sati’s opinion on his roles. He’ll always be Renton for me also.

    • Eventually I will have to also do it for Sean Connery 🙂

      I don’t have one role of his that I always associate him with, but can understand it’s Renton for some!
