The Guardian[edit]

I think Simon Baker was great in the series The Guardian but where did the series go? Maybe someone can shed some light on this subject.

Picture[edit]

I imagine that this drawing is better than nothing, but can we get a REAL picture on here? --Tacit tatum (talk) 23:33, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - can someone please locate a public domain image of Simon Baker? 99.35.233.27 (talk) 07:34, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Baker's wife[edit]

Simon Baker is married to Australian actress Rebecca Rigg.

Simon Baker is not married to Australian Farscape actress Rebecca Riggs, who is a different Australian actress. Figaro 12:54, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It says "Baker was married to an Australian woman for three years and had two children with her. He is currently married to the Australian actress Rebecca Rigg, and they have three children: Stella, Claude and Harry." Are this other wife and two children verifiable? His first child with Rigg was born when he was about 24, so it would be unusual to have fitted in a three-year marriage and two children before that.

Blind as a bat?[edit]

I heard rumors he wears very thick glasses and without them he's almost blind. Is it true?

He´s short-sighted, but plays Patrick Jane without wearing contact lenses- so he´s not "almost blind". And his glasses don´t seem to be very thick, for his eyes don´t appear much smaller when he wears them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nixenkind (talk • contribs) 07:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Ring 2[edit]

I don't see anything in the article about him being in this film, perhaps it should be added? Franknotes 01:32, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personal section.....[edit]

Made me laugh but, erm, it's total rubbish, isn't it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.193.130.5 (talk) 11:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that his birth date is July 30, 1969, which was used as Patrick Jane’s DOB on The Mentalist. Anyone know if this is true? Jhurley85 (talk) 23:53, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ABC is Australian Broadcasting Company![edit]

I just changed "ABC" to link to the Australian (not American!) Broadcasting Company. The very first insertion of "ABC" in 2008 already had this wrong. I did not search all intermediate revisions to find out whether anyone along the way has realized that this man did not begin his career on American TV -- a simple fact which ought to be obvious, or at least, not hard to figure out.

Request for Comments[edit]

There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.

The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:31, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was shocked to read Simon Baker was married before Rebecca Riig. What source revealed this because in no other biographies of him is this revealed.

Rachel Corn, a fan.

He was an accomplished swimmer, did water-polo, surfing. Was crowned Sexiest Man on American TV. He actually has three younger half siblings. And he's a sexy beast. Probably can't say that but... Oh well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.188.9.171 (talk) 09:38, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@The joy of all things, Merxa, Sundayclose, TheImaCow, Logical Man 2000, Dawnseeker2000, Ibrahimferhadli, and Jonny Nixon: Recent editors: There are two (at least for me) identical "Notice about sources" page notices above the edit window. Would someone please be so kind as to delete one (I can't find the second)? —DocWatson42 (talk)

I left a message at Wikipedia talk:Editnotice to see if we can get some help with this. Dawnseeker2000 12:29, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
