It is a British tradition, but these actors have graced Broadway and the West End and two are also film names!

Congratulations to Sir Kevin, to Eddie and Michael, OBEs! Most especially to Michael whose recognition has long been overdue!

If one is not a British citizen, isn't the knighthood just honorary? That's what I've always thought. Has that policy changed?

Yes, it is honorary, as far as I remember. Even Aussies who get honorary knighthood are not referred to as Sir. And Kevin will still be Mr. Spacey

I wonder if Hugh will ever be considered for honors, as he also carries a British passport?
