How did Ewan McGregor get famous?
Ewan McGregor's breakthrough role was in Trainspotting where he played heroin addict Mark Renton.
The 1996 film was his second with acclaimed director Danny Boyle and immediately became a cult classic, with the hotly anticipated sequel released earlier this year.
The 'Choose Life' speech has become iconic and has been parodied all over the world.
Ewan shot to international fame thanks to the movie and just three years later landed himself the part of young Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
Who does Ewan McGregor play in Fargo?
Ewan McGregor plays two brothers - Emmit and Ray Stussy in the TV series.
The US crime drama is a dark comedy which first aired in 2014.
Ewan joined the cast of the show in season three which aired in April this year and saw him nominated for Outstanding Acting In A Limited Series at the Emmys.
He had to bulk up for the dual role and put on so much weight he needed to invest in a 'fatboy wardrobe'.
He previously told The Scottish Sun that the show pushed him to his acting limits.
He said: "In terms of developing the characters of both guys and making sure they felt unique, you can theorise about it all you like but it’s not until you actually get to do it that you can really make sense of it.
“I got here and I was like, ‘S***! I’ve got to play these guys. How will they not feel the same?’ And, of course, they don’t look the same, but that wasn’t enough. They have to feel different, be different people. I just trusted my instincts in the end and went with it.
“If I wasn’t on set as Ray or Emmit I was either becoming the other one or sitting learning lines.
“And there’s more dialogue in TV than movies — and also I’ve got that accent. The workload was heavier than anything I’ve ever done.
“But I have never been more satisfied. I loved it.”
What else has Ewan McGregor been in?
Ewan McGregor also starred in Moulin Rouge in 2001 as Christian and Edward Bloom in Big Fish which was nominated for several awards.
