The most (In)famous is Amhadinejad!!!\n\nHe's one of the biggest actors i have ever seen. He should get involved in a remake or in the arabic version of Dr. Zivago. I find that movie really appropriate. What a pity he'll end up by producing THE DAY AFTER instead!!

Ooh - so many to choose from: \n\nJames Joyce, Samuel Beckett, the Duke of Wellington, Brian Boru, Padraig Pearce, William Butler Yeats, Wolfe Tone, Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stuart Parnell, Michael Collins, Saint Columba, Tom Crean, Ernest Shackleton, Bram Stoker, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde etc.\n\nTo Irish people, Daniel O'Connell is one of the most famous. Worldwide, I would think that James Joyce is better known.

Richard Nixon is the best known.  \n\nAlso a bunch of people from previous generations: Grover Cleveland, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison.\n\nBut let's not forget Ronald Reagan, who ran in the Republican primary in 1976 and lost to Ford, and had been in a primary at least once before (1968?).  Also George H.W. Bush (the first Bush), who lost the 1980 primary to Reagan, took the VP nod, then came back to be president later.

use wikipedia. Important person was Menshikov, childhood buddy of Peter. Important place is St-Petersburg, the city he build to serve as gateway to Europe. Poet Puskin later called this  "cutting a window to Europe".

Christian Bale - a very accomplished British actor.  See him in American Psycho and The Machinist.  \n\nKevin Bacon - why this man isn't more appreciated I'll never know.  See him in The Woodsman and Tremors for two very good but very different performances.

He's awesome because he had wood teeth and a wig.  Who the hell could get away with that crap these days and still run a country?

Anyone naming Americans as "greatest living actor" is an idiot ,especially the muppet that named that Cyrus child.\nSir Ian McKellan who was NOT named could out-act every last one mentioned especially Branagh who whilst a great British actor just sucks in American films.

Most likely his celebrity status. Americans have shown a huge fondness for voting for famous people which is why a lot of sports people go into politics after their careers have ended. It's called 'name recognition'.
