Untitled[edit]

someone has vandalised the page -- cf http://hackingthemachine.net/2008/12/09/questioning-wikipedias-accuracy-now-that-my-girlfriend-is-in-it/

suggest an editor back out that change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.169.89.164 (talk) 14:53, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

filmography[edit]

he was in Wallstreet 1986 as one of grdon geckos thugs but its not included on the list173.88.174.52 (talk) 05:33, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn't Wayne. Look up the credits on IMDB for "Wally", it's a different actor.--173.60.51.236 (talk) 01:38, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace[edit]

I have read that Wayne was born in either New York City or Cartersville, Georgia. Can anyone find a reliable source either way? I note that IMDb claims the Georgia birth, while the article's only ref claims NYC (but I don't know how reliable filmreference.com is). -Phoenixrod (talk) 03:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: a quick Google search turns up the Chicago Tribune claiming Cartersville as Knight's birthplace. -Phoenixrod (talk) 03:06, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dubuious[edit]

The statement that he is best known as the guy from Jurassic Park is dubious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.99.105 (talk) 04:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Death Hoax[edit]

Wayne Knight was reported as having died on March 16, 2014, the site being used as a source is TMZ.Today, a fake site using TMZ's mockup. The coroner on record in that report has the last name of Levin, the same last name as the owner of TMZ. This appears to be a hoax at the moment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhinehold (talk • contribs) 16:04, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's a hoax. He's alive and just tweeted about it. https://twitter.com/iWayneKnight — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.228.230.15 (talk) 16:52, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is a website, http://www.usmagazine.us which reported this death, the death of Family Ties actor Brian Bonsall, and a question about the truth to death rumors of Chumlee from Pawn Stars. It is a cheap mockup of www.usmagazine.com, but is clearly a knock-off site, and any information there is likely suspect. The domain was registered yesterday. Eauhomme (talk) 17:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Career[edit]

Can sombody please rewrite this entire section? It's horrible! "Knight has had prominent film roles...Knight also played prominent supporting roles...Knight has done voice work...Knight appeared on the Pilot episode...Knight guest starred on...Knight appeared as..."--and those are just the first sentences of each paragraph; there are several other "appearances" and "reprisals" throughout the section. 174.73.8.42 (talk) 22:43, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This will take some time, but yes- it shall at some point be rewritten. I have filed a request at the GOCE for this. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:06, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Marriages[edit]

he was married two times, Paula Sutor from 1996 to 2003, and is currently married to Clare De Chenu since 2006. FrozenFan2 (talk) 20:04, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Voice acting[edit]

Should we also credit him as a voice actor as well, in his occupations. Because he had more than one voice over role in his career, he has 36 voice over credits according to BTVA.com, I really don't see any problem about crediting him as a voice actor. 174.192.30.246 (talk) 21:17, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted for two reasons: 1) "Actor" adequately covers both his live-action and voiceover work. 2) It's repetitive to use the word "actor" twice in the opening sentence. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:18, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Voice artist" could probably cover it, because it doesn't use the term "actor" in it. 174.192.15.129 (talk) 01:24, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
