They weren't born here, but Joel and Ethan Coen (Raising Arizona, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou?, The Man Who Wasn't There, Intolerable Cruelty, Bad Santa, The Ladykillers) used to visit their gran in Goldstone Crescent, Hove when they were teens in the late 60s/early 70s.

I haven't yet established if either of them have ever been to an Albion game.

They work with Roderick Jaynes, film editor

Jaynes began his career minding the tea cart at Shepperton Studios in the 1930s. He eventually moved into the editing department, where he worked on some of the more marginal pictures of the British film industry of the '50s and '60s. With the demise of the "Carry On" series he retired from film, but emerged from retirement to work on Joel and Ethan Coen's first movie, "Blood Simple." He has worked on most of their pictures since.

Mr. Jaynes resides in Hove, Sussex, with his chow, Otto. He is still widely admired in the film industry for his impeccable grooming and is the world's foremost collector of Margaret Thatcher nudes, many of them drawn from life.

We, of course, know Jaynes to be a pseudonym for the Coens devised because they didn't want to see their names too many times in the credits. It's worth noting that 'he' has been nominated for an Oscar and how embarassing it would have been for the Academy had 'he' won. The Coen's had planned to have Albert Finney (heavily disguised) collect the award had they won but the Academy talked them out of it.
