| What Celebrities Are From Kansas City |
From Cornfields to Camera Lights
You might think Hollywood is where dreams are made, but Kansas City has a pretty strong case to argue. Who would've thought the same place that gave us barbecue and jazz would also produce some serious A-listers? Let's spill the beans.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
Don Cheadle: This guy is a Kansas City king. From 'Hotel Rwanda' to 'Ocean's Eleven,' he's proven he can do it all. Imagine seeing him order a burnt ends sandwich at a local joint – now that's a sight to behold.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
Eric Stonestreet: Modern Family's lovable goofball, Phil Dunphy, hails from our very own KC. Who knew the guy behind the catchphrases was once a regular Joe from the Midwest?
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
Paul Rudd: Okay, this one might blow your mind. That ageless wonder, Paul Rudd, is a Kansas City kid! From 'Ant-Man' to rom-coms, he's conquered Hollywood, but we like to think he still misses our city's pizza.
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
