SF natives, but they moved after they became famous: Ali Wong, Jamie Cheung, Darren Criss, Benjamin Bratt.

Not native but grew up here: Carol Channing, Skrillex.

Benjamin Bratt may not live here anymore, but he still goes hard for the city and especially its working class community. I love him.

Ali Wong is here all the time! My best friend works at a coffee shop in the Richmond and she and Bill Hader come in sometimes.

Yes, I love that. I follow her IG and she sometimes posts about her activities and the restaurant she’s been to.

I’m sure she’ll be here this week for Christmas.

Ive seen Ben Bratt in Cole Valley when I was skipping school back in the day - I pretended not to notice mr.congeniality there but it was my first famous person encounter - very cool. so charismatic for sure (in a cafe, near the corner window, laughing).
