Favorite Scottish Actor?

[Alexis_US]

In the spirit of lightening up and brightening up:
Who is your favorite Scottish actor? Mine is Robert Carlyle. To see the extent of my addiction, check this out: www.geocities.com/lexyplex/index.html

I also like Robbie Coltrane, Peter Mullan, John Hannah when he was in Sliding Doors and Four Weddings and a Funeral, and the hilarious and wonderful Billy Connolly.
Anyone else have an A-List? What about actresses? I have to be honest i dont know any by name. I could play the whole, "That one chick in that one movie, whatsherface" game, but I'll open the floor to others for this.
Crazy thing: I think all of these men were born in Glasgow! Lookin' good boys, lookin' good.

I can agree with you on Peter Mullen & Robert Carlyle... Carlyle is brilliant as a psychopath! I also really like Peter Capaldi (the barman in The Blythswood Bar in Glasgow looks just like him!), Joe McFadden (verrrry sweet!) & Bill Paterson.

As for actresses, i quite like Valerie Edmond at the moment, but Annette Crosbie has always been a favourite.

How about Craig Ferguson? I just saw him in "Saving Grace." HiLARious movie.
And I finally thought of a female, Kelly MacDonald. She was the schoolgirl in Trainspotting and the girl who is poisened in Elizabeth. She's good.

Oh yeah, I guess I just saw Valerie Edmond in Saving Grace, too. She was great!
In fact the movie was great and everyone should go see it!

Yeah, Sonsie. Shirley Henderson is good. I saw her in Topsy-Turvy, very interesting character actress. Funny, I don't remember her in Trainspotting.
A few more: Gary Lewis and Louise Goodall, both of whom were in Carla's Song and My Name is Joe, two great Ken Loach films.

James Cosmo whos been in everything, Robert Carlyle, and I suppose Sir Sean.

I'm ashamed to say I couldn't think of a actress.
