    Probably Thane Dunn, I am sure there are more but he is the only one I can think of right now.

  3. #3
    Alive? Probably Hans Zimmer.

  4. #4
    Chicago? Probably a ton. CM Punk, Hilary Clinton, Walt Disney, Michael Clarke Duncan, Harrison Ford, Hugh Hefner, Terrence Howard, Mr. T, Robin Williams, take your pick, those are the ones I know from a quick search. The most famous of them all is Walt Disney IMO.

    Prince, Bob Dylan, Rachael Lee Cook, Josh Harnett, Shawn William Scott, I met all except for Bob Dylan and Shawn William Scott. Oh and some of the kids in The Mighty Ducks, I got to be an extra on that film. They filmed by our school.

    Ain't no famous people from my town, or my birth town for that matter.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    Morbidly enough, probably Louise Jensen, a tour guide who in 1994 was abducted, raped and murdered by three british soldiers in Cyprus.

    Oh and Kim Lynge Pedersen, a weightlifter who competed in the 1992 olympics.

    My hometown is a small coastal town with a population of less than 6000 people, not really a great likelyhood of any real famous people being from there.

    Definitely Captain Phillips.

    Crazy to think all that happened to a guy from a small town in VT.

    /thread. You win for most famous currently, that guy is everywhere.

    As for my hometown, went to the same high school as James & Dave Franco (2 years older than me). Also on Varsity high school basketball with Jeremy Lin. I remember he had a growth spurt from like 5'6" freshman year to 6'1" sophomore year and it became obvious he was gonna make it in college ball, possibly professional.
