Julliard[edit]

His Wikidata infobox shows him as being educated at Julliard School. Any support for this?--Artaxerxes (talk) 17:05, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I spent roughly 20 minutes researching this topic, looking through several articles about him, and could not find any evidence or source to support it. I do not believe this is accurate. Some of everything (talk) 02:38, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to remove this information. Any information without a source can be challenged and removed. This is especially true when you have investigated and believe the statement to be untrue. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 03:34, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lawsuit against Hardee's[edit]

While trying to find out why Brimley was dropped by Quaker Oats, I saw this article from The Washington Post where Brimley is suing Hardee's and Ogilvy for $10 million. Should this be included in the article? FunksBrother (talk) 00:42, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think this would be relevant for inclusion, but I would say that another source should be used, if available, as that article just lists a blurb about it. Update - I found a short Chicago Tribune article with this same information, but I can't find anything else about the case or its disposition (I didn't look THAT hard but I did look). I am wary of adding just "In 1993, Brimely filed a lawsuit against Hardee's" without being able to say what the result was. But if you want to include it, I can't imagine anyone would have strong objections. Cheers ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 13:30, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ewoks movie[edit]

Millions of Star Wars fans know him primarily as Noa from the spinoff movie Ewoks. How is this not even mentioned once? Alexandermoir (talk) 03:30, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
