    I'll name three because they are known in different fields.

    Luis von Ahn. Founder of Duolingo and co-founder of Captcha and Recaptcha (Those annoying words and pictures you have to type and click to verify you aren't a robot)

    Miguel Angel Asturias (Nobel Prize in Literature)

    Regarding actors, celebrities and artists. Then probably Oscar Isaac (recently known for playing Poe in the last 3 Star Wars films)

    I'd be willing to bet; Not a single person. Or at least nobody I've heard of.

    The actor William Sadler is the only one I can think of.

    Not my exact town but Michael Jackson (Gary, IN) was born about 20 mins away from where I live atm.

    This is a good way to get people to reveal their relative locations though.

    Dylan Thomas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are probably the most recognisable names.
    I don't know the recipe for success, but I know that the recipe for failure is trying to please everyone.

    Forum stupidity at its finest:

    Lewis Capaldi is like just down the road from me. I pass his house almost every day.
    Not sure if David Tennant counts. He is from Bathgate, but my towns address comes under Bathgate for some reason. It goes
    01 Random Road
    Whitburn
    Bathgate
    EH47 XXX

    So yeah, not sure if he counts.

    Not a person per say, but the band Smashmouth is from my home town... The lead singer was born there.

    Other than that, Josh Holloway from Lost, Dustin Diamond (Screech from Saved by the Bell, Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple) and best of all professional eater Matt Stonie. Another pro-eater Joey Chestnut wasn't born there but he does live there now as well.

    Elvis isn't from Memphis. He lived in Memphis most of his life, but he was born in Tupelo Mississippi.
