Scottish actor Kevin McKidd is no stranger to time travel. He was 8 years old when he thrust himself into the future at first sight of the film, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial."
McKidd remembers, "I went to see that movie with my dad, and it just hit me with such an emotional level, that movie as a kid ... I think that was a big light bulb moment in my head. I didn't know I'm from the wrong side of the tracks as far as that goes and nobody from Elgin has been an actor ... that was the beginning, all I thought then was, 'I want to be that kid who made friends with an alien.' That was the beginning of the journey, and I never strayed from that."

Favorite movie: Taxi Driver. That and E.T. made me want to become an actor. Strange mix, I know.
