Gregor Bloéb?
No. You are looking for someone who is significantly more famous.

Born in Sweden, Finland, Ireland, or Switzerland?
No.
Interesting, I thought that this was a wasted question. Clearly I was wrong!
I almost scratched it after asking it. I'm glad I didn't!

We're left with:

-Liechtenstein
-Austria (part)
-Czechoslovakia (very small part)
-the Soviet Union (Estonia, Latvia, part of Lithuania, very small part of Belarus)
-Svalbard and Jan Mayen, since they're not on the map despite being part of Norway
-maybe some other small islands that aren't on the map, hence the QM's hesitation

I want it to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he won an Emmy.

He is also a famous politician, but I checked anyway a few minutes ago and he is not from the small part of Austria that hasn't been eliminated yet.

And he's too old.

Free guess: Johann Urb

Arnold is also too old. As is Christoph Waltz.

No, but a very good try. You're looking for someone at least as famous as him.

If its a Dane, on the ground that his tiny island is not shown an extremely small scale map, I will barf. No specific locality is shown on such a map. Denmark has been clearly excluded, in my interpretation of the answers.

I did push for interpreting "marked as dark-blue" as a reference to the countries listed as dark blue in the legend of the map . . .

I just thought of a place that I can't believe I didn't think of before: the Faroe Islands. However, I don't think there are any famous actors from there.

I'll wait until the answer is discovered before I pass judgement. If the answer had been Nikolaj, my issue would have been that his birth island is also not on the green Wikipedia map of Europe, which is the established standard for defining continents in this game.

The Afroeurasia question at the start of this game did not come with a "green box" clarification.

I believe that the Faeroe Islands are in fact colored dark blue on that map, though the three little specks that I am referring to don't look much like the real archipelago.

The QM humbly suggests asking another question.

Born anywhere other than Liechtenstein, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Svalbard, Jan Mayen, Norway or Belarussian SSR?

Hopefully this narrows it down to the Baltic States at a longitude further north than Copenhagen, or it at least eliminates somewhere that we haven't thought of.

Edit: added Norway

The problem is if there are any extremely famous actors from the Baltic States, they would have come up with a Google search for Estonian/Latvian/Lithuanian actors.

I'm going to ask another question: was this person born in a location on this list? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_territory

Conditional guess if the answer to both my and JECE's questions are "yes": Henry Cavill

That would be the 20th question, I think. You sure?
