If you are restricting Actors to only be male, then from Georgia you have Laurence Fishburne. As director, you have Spike Lee. (dont like his politics, but he is a good director).
For actress from Georgia you have Julia Roberts.

Spike Lee's whole family is from Alabama.

Spike Lee was born in Atlanta. Whatever. Still SEC territory, which I think was the OP intention?

Morgan Freeman - Um, he played God and helped save Gotham City
Elvis - Probably one of the top 10 most famous Americans.

Elvis is one of the most famous people to ever walk the earth. I'd say top 5 overall. Oprah is probably top 10 or 20 in worldwide recognition. That could put Mississippi at the top if you added everyone else from here.

Doubtful....while other states struggle with a handful to choose from, Texas has it's own wiki site of actors/actresses categorized by city.

Texas easily takes the cake in numbers. But remember Mississippi only has about half the number of people of metro DFW.

John Goodman is from St. Louis and is still in town quite a bit, but this, by far, is my favorite picture of the big man, so if LSU wants to claim him as well I'm cool with that
