Glasgow truly produces the best of the best here in Scotland - the best sport players, the best musicians, and of course, the best actors - we wanted to take a look at all the Glaswegian actors who left the city to act under the bright lights of Hollywood.
From Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, all of the biggest blockbuster epics have to employ at least one Glaswegian - not legally of course, but at this point we’re sure it’s at least a superstition on set.
We’re not just looking at actors in the modern day though, we’re looking back at some of the all-time greats who starred on-screened during the golden age of Hollywood too.
Today we wanted to recognise some of the biggest and best actors from Glasgow who starred in Hollywood film productions - take a look below at our favourites.
