A brief portrait of the Scottish actor and director, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner, and and guest of the 57th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. McGregor's ex­tensive filmography is a unique combination of European acting tradition and Hollywood productions. On KVIFF.TV, you can see him in several films that were important milestones in his career. The dark comedy Shallow Grave, his first outing with director Danny Boyle, was a hit in Great Britain and jump-started Ewan's career. He went on to become an international star thanks to the cult film Trainspotting. In 2016, he made his directorial debut with American Pastoral, where he also played the lead.
