I loved this guy's acting ever since the Star Wars prequels and Robots. He's a very talented guy. He did great playing Rodney Copperbottom in Robots and The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and my all-time favorite: Revenge of the Sith. He also did great in other movies.

Although I didn't watch all of his appearances and movies, his roles in Moulin Rouge, Big Fish, and The Island were enough to rise him to my personal pantheon. ...Continue »
First off, what is there to say? How could I describe someone with so magnetic a presence? Something about Ewan McGregor just makes him perfect for the big screen... Is it his little smile, dazzling acting talents, or gorgeous voice (as seen in Moulin Rouge)? Somehow, he is the quintessential honest and fantastic young man every movie needs. From such movies as Big Fish and The Island, his innocence really was convincing, not like most of the "pretty boys" you see a lot today. It's not everyday you see a package deal- acting and singing, and that's what makes Ewan McGregor so special. So Ewan, if you're reading this... Keep up the good work!

Ewan McGregor is one of those rare few that can sing, act, move well, and looks stunning. He is great in many films such as Moulin Rouge, where he made the whole nation cry, and Star Wars (the more recent ones) where men wanted to be like him, and women melted at the site of him.
I think that to be as versatile as McGregor is, then that shows true talent. Many people are great at what they do, but panic when they are out of their comfort zone, and I have to commend Ewan McGregor as he never shows this side.
Well done, keep it up, and be in more stuff!!!!

Ewan McGregor is definitely one of my favorite actors. I think it is amazing how well he takes on so many different roles and characters.
It's nice to see that he appears in a wide variety of movie genres. I think it furthers shows his acting abilities. From a tactless drug addict (Trainspotting), to a hapless, man who can't see to get a break (A Life Less Ordinary) Ewan is able to play those roles -- and others -- with exquisite skill.
Ewan McGregor is a brilliant, handsome and very talented actor. I would like to see him star in more movie roles.
