I know wikipedia has an extensive list, but too many individuals who are not realy famous, and the list is missing many. I figured I'd start a thread out of boredom including movie stars, musicians, CEOs, atheletes, etc... Include their location of residence if you know it! Even if they were only born here, then moved elsewhere because it would seem that they would still have a tie to the community. Here are a few off the top of my head.

Tommy Lee Jones - (Hollywood Actor ie: Men in Black, US Marshalls, No Country For Old Men, etc... I believe he still resides in the Dominion although born in San Saba, TX.)

George Strait - (Country Music Star raised in Pearsall, TX. resides in the Dominion.)

Shawn Michaells - (aka. The Heartbreak Kid WWF Superstar, I believe he resides in Windcrest.)

Lara Flynn Boyle - (Hollywood Actress ie: Men in Black, Twin Peaks. Residence ???)

Oliver North - (Political & Military Personality, Residence ???)

Michelle Rodriguez - (Hollywood Actress ie: SWAT, Fast n' the Furious, Residence ???)

Robert Rodriguez - (Hollywood Director & Producer ie: The Faculty, Grindhouse Films, Desperado, etc... Residence ???)

Tim Duncan - (No need for introduction...lol... NBA Superstar, Residence I believe The Dominion.)

David Robinson - (NBA Superstar Residence The Dominion)

Shaquille O'Neal - (NBA Superstar - Attended school in San Antonio at a younger age.)

Ty Detmer - (NFL Quarterback & Former Heisman Trophy Winner at BYU, Residence ???)

Priest Holmes - (NFL Running Back with Baltimore Ravens, residence ???)

Stone Cold Steve Austin - (Wrestling Superstar & Actor, Residence???)

Josh Davis - (Olympic Gold Medalist Swimmer, Residence ???)

Johnny Bush - (Country Music Singer, Residence ???)

Steve Earle - (Country Music Singer, Residence ???)

Hal Ketchum - (Country Music Singer, Residence ???)

Pat Green - (Country Music Singer & Texas Country Innovator, Residence???)

John Schneider - (Hollywood Actor ie: Dukes of Hazzard "Bo Duke", Residence ???)

Ernest Tubb - (Country Musician, Residence ???)

John Hagee - (Televangelist & Pastor Cornerstone Church, Residence ???)

Max Lucado - (Christian Author, Residence Crownridge Subdivision.)

Charles Butt - (Founder of HEB Stores & Billionare, Residence ???)

Lowry Mays - (Founder of Clearchannel Communications & Billionare, Residence???)

Red McCombs - (Auto Industry Icon, Former Owner of NBA & NFL franchises & Billionare, Residence ???)

Tom Benson - (Auto Dealership Owner, and Owner of New Orleans Saints, Residence ???)

Patrick Swayze - (Hollywood Superstar ie: Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse, etc... Born in Houston but current resident of Hill Country location ???)

Emily Robison - (Country Musician Singer of The Dixie Chics, residence Bandera, TX.)

If any of you guys know any of the ???'s, or anyone of sugnificane I've missed it would be cool to know!

Actually Heart Break Kids real name is Michael Shawn Hickenbottom, and Stone Cold's Is Steve Williams I saw him when I was beggining my Coca Cola career at the Shell with the dominoes by I10 and Camp bullis.

and lets not forget Jeff Kent! Former Giant, Met, Astro, Dodger, hes the best Second Baseman in MLB Ever!!! Last I heard is that he owned a bike shop here, he also livers here.

Tommy Lee Jones lives in Terrel Hills, either on or around Elizabeth Dr.

I used to live right down the street from him...he's really mean in person. If you want to meet him, however, he hangs out at Liberty Bar often.

he's shy as hell, when I met him I just recognized him called him by his real name, shook his hand, and chatted a little while. It was way better than asking for an autograph! but boy were his arms huge!.
