Famous Welsh People in the US?
To tie in with Rete's thread, do you know of any famous Welsh people living/working in the US?
I can name one who's local to me. He's Grant Llewellyn, the NC Symphony's Music Director. He came on board some time last year (2004).
For details about him and his role, see-

Bryn Terfel has a condo in Cardiff; regularly stays there. On Churchill Way in Cardiff ... if my memory is correct. It is said by some that he is one of the hottest "properties" in opera. My mum likes to listen to him.

Apparently some Americans rather like Jem's mix of soul, pop, and hip-hop ... Jem singer-songwriter of Cardiff, Wales ...

Vinny Jones was captain of the Welsh soccer team, which might indicate that Vinny Jones regards himself as Welsh.
