Untitled[edit]

I have seen his birthday listed elsewhere as 1933. Are we sure about the year? Dawhitfield 01:26, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The IMDb lists the year as 1932, so I'd go with that. — Frecklefoot | Talk 17:53, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Cloak and Dagger[edit]

If anyone has seen the film Cloak and Dagger (and understands Russian), I would really like to know what the conversation is in the start at the start of teh film where Dabney Coleman trys to talk his way past a Russian gaurd then kills the gaurd with a poison cigarete. Ive been wondering what they were saying for over 20 years! (It involves a word that sounds like Speechcoo).

Speechcoo means cigarette in Russian.Vulturell 23:04, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Missing reference to outer limits episode https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_359_(The_Outer_Limits) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.171.110 (talk) 05:44, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Duplication in filmography[edit]

There's a lot of duplication in the filmography in this article: first in tables, separated into film and TV; and then again as a bulleted list, with film and TV combined. Is this intentional? If not, is everyone happy if I (or someone else) removes the bulleted list and adds any credits from there that are missing from the tables (and confirmed by reference to IMdB) to the tables? andrenafulva (talk) 13:54, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Hartman[edit]

It is surprising the body omits mention of his substantial role in "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," easily the biggest thing he did prior to "9 to 5". A breakthrough role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:CA10:18A0:DCB2:2EFD:44BE:DEAD (talk) 05:36, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone have a citation that refers to his time on this series as a breakthrough role, or other specific notices? Qflib, aka KeeYou Flib (talk) 15:22, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
