Sir Patrick Stewart, Rowan Atkinson, many more, pretty much all of them really with few exceptions. And yes, I believe Cate Blanchett is Australian (I'm Australian and I know we like to take credit for her, at any rate).

Oh, geez----I always forget Sir Anthony Hopkins is British (Welsh)----maybe, because I've only seen him in American movies. I think he's BRILLIANT!!

I know I'm straying off-topic, but I want to thank Jory for the graphic. I've recently started an online tutoring of British history (in hopes of maybe someday immigrating to England), and that divisional map will come in handy for the course.
