RE: Who Is A Famous Person From Your Hometown❓
Ok...I’ll give this a whirl.
I’m from Union, New Jersey in the states.
2 names that are probably somewhat biggies are Ray Liotta & Robert Wuhl.
Ray Liotta is probably best known for his portrayal of Henry Hill in Goodfellas...although he has a tremendous body of work under him from Field of Dreams, to Narc, to Blow, to Hannibal, and the upcoming Sopranos prequel.
He would sometimes pop back home to visit his folks who still lived there long after he had made it big. I met him once at a local convenience store called Quick Check right after the film Unlawful Entry was released. I was just a kid but was so star struck that my siblings made fun of me for what seems like decades.
Robert Wuhl is another actor and also a comedian. Bull Durham, Batman, and a slew of movies are to his credit. He had an HBO show years ago where he played a sports agent called Arliss. Loved that show. When I was a senior at Union High School in 1998, he was inducted into our Wall of Fame. I did a quick shitty interview with him for my television production class. We took a picture that cake out blurry as hell which I still have somewhere.
Artie Lange is another.

That's what @blank7 said, Artie Lange.
Sorry, I didn't see that. You know Union is a shit town when one of it's most famous citizens is an obese junky. I Love Artie though, he is hilarious.

Wow! very interesting and nice little backstories. You've got a better memory than me. Kinda blew my quasi-celebs out of the water there. Nobody is more Jersey than Ray Liotta. I used to watch Arliss back in the day, I remember that show. I think Robert Wuhl's career has died off in recent years. I haven't heard much about him for a long time.
Yeah pretty much. Talented dude but it happens to. Tons of celebs. One day ontop of the world...the next...
Yeah I remember tons of worthless crap...now birthdays on the other hand...
Artie Langue, you can't forget about him!

Yup. That’s another one. I also just found out not too long ago that a kid on the Orlando Magic is from Union. I forget his name though.
