Today, one of our favorite Scotsman turns 36: Ewan McGregor. Though the star of many a fine film (Big Fish, Moulin Rouge, Black Hawk Down), for my money McGregor will always be remembered best for his role as Renton in Trainspotting.

“It’s shite being Scottish! We’re the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don’t. They’re just wankers! We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers. Can’t even find a decent culture to be colonized by! We’re ruled by effete assholes. It’s a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and all the fresh air in the world won’t make any fucking difference!”
