Chris Thomas King might be a sneaky well known.

Especially if longterm or current BR resident is entered as a stipulation.

I don't think any of those would be listed as BR even on Wiki.

No idea who Randy Jackson is and I’d say Brittany Spears is much more famous than Stormy or Bobby Jindal.

Edit nm I thought we were talking about Louisiana not just BR

Keep in mind celebrity fame is fleeting. Carville and possibly Jindal will be in history books 100 years from now. Sports and entertainment stars, not likely.

Pruitt Taylor Vince. You might not know him by name but you have definitely seen him in movies and television shows.

Warrick Dunn at least meets the qualifications, doubt most famous but maybe top 5-10

We were guessing the top three are probably Stormy Daniels (because of her recent fame, not porn fame), Bobby Jindel (but many people outside LA have forgotten who he is), and Randy Jackson


You think these are more famous than Britney and Shaq?

How do you quote the middle of a post and not even read the words that came before it?

I'm guessing you meant Shaq.

Shaq and Britney don't count because they are not from BR

I'm not going to look it up, but just off the top of my head, he was in Stranger Things,Walking Dead, Deadwood, Frazier, The Mentalist. If you want to see the entire filmography go to IMBD. He has been in a shite ton of stuff.LINK

Billy Cannon threw me off because he was not born in Baton Rouge (or even Louisiana), so I thought we were talking about Louisiana. My fault. I now see there are so many qualifiers for this award I have no idea. I’ll just shut up.
