EWAN McGREGOR

Here are two great photos I sent to EWAN McGREGOR, which he signed and returned to me with a nice note.  (Proper matting and framing is yet to be done.)  These photos are NOT for sale.

Ewan is truly a fine, multi-talented actor as evident in his movie and stage performances.  He is also a down-to-earth guy.   He's the only celebrity I know of that took on the challenge of riding around the world by motorscycle - so I felt we share something of a kindred spirit.  You can learn more about his epic journey, made with his best friend CHARLEY BOORMAN at http://www.longwayround.com  They produced a great book - LONG WAY ROUND - Chasing Shadows Around the World - along with an excellent TV series (also on DVD).  You probably recognize the photo of of Ewan as OBI-WAN KENOBI in STAR WARS: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.   The other is of Ewan with Charley Boorman from an article in the June 2004 issue of VANITY FAIR.  In the photo, they are seen are in Wales, taking the BMW Off-Road Skills Course.
