Birthday

[edit]

A lot of sources do give his b-day as June 13, but his entries in Who's Who (rarely wrong, considering that the info is normally provided by the biographees themselves) and Debrett's People of Today say June 15, as do the June 15th birthday listings in The Times (it is also confirmed at [1]). I don't know about anyone else but I'm pretty convinced that this date is correct. Crisso 17:43, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Neither wins hands down on Google. IMDb also gives the 13th. And one source even contradicts itself! And even newspapers do get it wrong - Guardian Unlimited has it down as the 13th too. Have we sufficient evidence that the Who's Who entry is a normal one? -- Smjg 15:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Today's (15 June) Independent has him in the birthday listings.
Batboy changed this to 13 June, but I've reverted it. Based on the above discussion, I suggest it remain as 15 June unless someone can produce documentary evidence such as a birth certificate that proves it's something else. JackofOz 20:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ramsay, then gay

[edit]

He had an eleven-year relationship with Peggy Ramsay (presumably a woman), and is now a prominent gay actor. Should we say something about this? - was the Ramsay relationship a professional one, or a platonic one, or did he fully realise his homosexuality only after ceasing the relationship? JackofOz 12:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The relationship was professional (Ramsay was a prominent english agent), but his book "Love is where it Falls" also mentions he had what he describes as an "intellectual love" for her. The book also, by the by, deals with his romantic relationship at the time of her death with an Egyptian filmmaker called "Aziz" - both Aziz and Peggy died within months of each other, and the book's his way of dealing with their deaths. So he was gay before, during and whilst he knew Peggy.

Vandalism or mistake?

[edit]

I have reverted the article to the last complete version (by RobotG as of 13:42, 3 August 2006 due to cuts - vandalism?. Could someone more experienced than I please check for any errors or omissions in the revert? Thanks. Orbicle 10:01, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see no citation for the atheist claim, going to edit that out until otherwise

Table formats

[edit]

Why is the film credits wikitable in forward chronological order and the tv credits wikitable in reverse chronological order?--WickerGuy (talk) 20:53, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

-Agreed. This should be changed one way or another. - Ryan 09:57, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Doctor Who: The Wedding of River Song

[edit]

I know he's confirmed to have a role in The Wedding of River Song, but I don't think it's been confirmed that the role is Dickens again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.184.113.199 (talk) 17:36, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

* While Callow has some connection with Belfast and is a well-known actor, his importance to the Belfast project is perhaps lower than it would be for other projects. --Mal 02:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
