2009 comment re: danny dyer[edit]

I'm so glad Danny Dyer isn't on this list. Oliver9184 (talk) 12:17, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

list order[edit]

ordered after first name?? 87.188.71.213 (talk) 18:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way someone could sort this list properly, by last name?[edit]

The person who created the list seems to be inactive. However, sorted by first name it's fairly useless and against all policies. Is there any way someone could sort it properly, by last name? Thanks. Softlavender (talk) 12:50, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

do you want

booth, connie

watson, emma

or:

connie booth

emma watson

the last is easier to read, but also harder to use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.206.18.218 (talk) 17:20, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a million for fixing this -- it was retarded before. It's now in correct Wikipedia format. Do not change it. Thanks again. Softlavender (talk) 03:59, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

omission of peter ustinov[edit]

How the heck do they leave off Peter Ustinov? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.131.126.92 (talk) 08:56, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

David Attenborough[edit]

What is Sir David doing in a list of actors? As far as I'm aware, he is solely a presenter in live roles.

Unless someone objects, I will delete his entry.

Done. Paul Magnussen (talk) 17:15, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
