to help make ends meet[edit]

Should slang language like this really be used in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.47.95.161 (talk) 20:06, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not ideal, but not horrible, esp'ly if it's his wording. Did you search with his name and the phrase each in its own set of quotes?

Damaged?[edit]

This looks damaged. "Most" has been changed to "Least" but when I go to fix, I do not see it. :(

Anyone have any ideas? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cnystrom (talk • contribs) 02:37, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. Fixed now.

Distinctive European accent?[edit]

I don't think his accent is necessarily (let alone distinctively) European.--76.30.28.124 (talk) 04:09, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not supposed to be distinctly anything other than not American and vaguely European.

No, it's supposed to be Latin American. Lets not be naive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.98.32.68 (talk) 03:17, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its supposed to be Israeli, since he IS Jewish. 107.222.205.242 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 04:13, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ca 1940's ??[edit]

That would be acceptable if he were some character from centuries before, not a man probably from the baby boomer generation. It was not that long ago.

Name?[edit]

Below his picture on the right, his name is spelled with two H's, the less common "Johnathan".. I am guessing that this is an error when the rest of the article uses one H in his first name..?

Category: American Jews[edit]

Goldsmith is American. He is also Jewish as the article mentions and cites. Does anyone have a problem with me adding him to the American Jews category? If no one says anything I will add him after a few days. Anibar E (talk) 14:25, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why would it be controversial for someone plays a character who is "most interesting man in the world" and speaks with an Spanish accent to be Jewish? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.98.32.68 (talk) 03:21, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Role on Star Trek[edit]

I thought you might be interested; Jonathan Goldsmith played an unnamed crewman in the episode, "The Corbomite Maneuver" on the original Star Trek. Although he played a "red-shirt" crewman he survived in the episode. (Unnamed red shirts were known for getting killed off on the show) There is a picture of him in the role in George Takei's facebook page. Equusma (talk) 18:44, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Internet meme. Not notable. Not a "guest appearance." He wasn't even credited. JayHubie (talk) 06:58, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Goldsmith denies ever being on Star Trek. And there's no factual evidence to support the claim. In fact, it's been thoroughly debunked (link). MrNeutronSF (talk) 03:58, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

new charity work[edit]

Goldsmith is named as being a spokesman for Clear Path International Conflict Survivor Assistance, particularly the clearing of land mines. http://cpi.org/?s=goldsmith http://www.wtop.com/546/3340773/Stay-Safe-My-Friends 71.163.114.49 (talk) 14:32, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
