Why is he wheel-chair bound?[edit]

As per the Daily Mail article today about his appearance at the London Comic Con, he appears to be somewhat ill. I understand that he's 73 years old, but he was wearing cut off sweat pants and slippers, seemingly to allow for the evident swelling in his legs and feet. He's notable enough in the USA and the UK that if his health is suffering and it can be sourced properly, it should be mentioned. I only came across it because I'm in the Comics industry tangentially and I was emailed the link by someone asking ME what was up; as if I would know. Here's the article: By Mail Online Reporter, Published: 08:12 EDT, 14 March 2017 | Updated: 13:22 EDT, 14 March 2017. LiPollis (talk) 18:18, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

David Soul is alive![edit]

Despite media reports of his death on Tuesday. David soul is alive! I talked to him at 9 am Wednesday on the phone a day after his alleged death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:805:4201:1737:9D4F:FD2C:9CF6:BAF9 (talk) 02:07, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not English[edit]

David Soul is a US citizen and a British citizen. He is a US citizen by birth. He apparently also became a British citizen in 2004. The categories on the bottom of the article suggest he is English. However, he didn't take on English citizenship, as it is impossible to do so. Basically, it is impossible to become English (or Scottish, or Northern Irish, or Welsh). I am changing the categories accordingly. --82.2.5.153 (talk) 23:01, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Too lazy to edit content, but seems worth a look for an editor who cares about David Soul

Moved to England in 1995, and directed & acted in play in Edinburgh in 2000[edit]

Should Soul's theatre work not be listed? It is mentioned under "Career", but there is no list.

It would appear that he moved to England in 1995 (more accurate than "the mid-1990s").

In 2000, he brought a play to Edinburgh, Scotland: Sam Shepard's "Fool for Love". He directed and acted in it.

Possible Typo[edit]

This looks wrong "had a s,oJon Kristjian." What is it meant to be? ----MountVic127 (talk) 21:54, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This has since been fixed. Wylie pedia @ 00:14, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Filmreference.com[edit]

Filmreference.com is heavily used on this page for citations, but Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources § Repository of resources says it is unreliable. —Bagumba (talk) 11:33, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
