Well, Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes author) used to live in my town while he was writing the comic. He moved to a town near mine when he quit writing, though.

And I live near Cleveland, Ohio, and I think Macy Gray's from Cleveland...

This random dude from Byker Grove is from a place quite close to my town. Does that count? He's kinda famous. Slightly. An ickle bit.

yeah they sang that as well, I don't like them that much but people at my school keep singing their songs

Ditto here. Did you see the Scene Magazine about mid-summer that had a quasi story about him? Waterson's laying extremely low, but there are still a few reported sightings of him.

*thinks of new person to add*
The only one that springs to mind is Drew Carrey.

Hmm I guess so since Los Angeles is a pretty well known place.

Mike Myers grew up in the town next to mine
Busy from Ready or Not went to a high school in my town
Hayden Christensen went to a high school in my town

Plenty of people in LA, but in where I am specifically...

Well, where I am now, no one I've ever heard of. However, in Calabasas (where I went from kindergarten to fifth grade in), some of Linkin Park, or at least the drummer, lived there. Incubus went to high school there, or something like that. Jessica Simpson lives there now. Also, someone named Shiri Appleby, but I don't know who she is, she came up in a google.

smurf Cheney's lesbian daughter lives hereabouts. I think the idiot who invented South Park went to high school around here.

Well.. I live in a teeny 2000 person town..

But if you count Albquerque which is right by me.. Well..

There's Al Unser, Al Unser jr. from Sports.

And I think that might be it.

Sad, really.
