Summary
First seen as a strung-out heroin addict in Trainspotting, this Scottish born actor saw his career take off after he was cast as a young Obi-Wan Kenobi in George Lucas's Star Wars prequels. Since then, he's become one of the busiest men in Hollywood, starring in more than 40 movies, from splashy musicals and action-packed thrillers to quiet indie films and animated features. When McGregor is not on set, he spends time with his wife and four daughters. He also seeks adventure off screen, as seen in his two documentaries Long Way Round, which chronicled his journey by motorcycle from London to New York via Russia, Mongolia, and Canada, and Long Way Down, from Scotland to South Africa. Ewan McGregor gives readers a first-row seat to the life and career of this leading man.
