Can we figure out when and where (and maybe how?) Neil Breen was born? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musomino (talk • contribs) 03:02, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to know how he was born. I'm guessing it involves aliens. 2604:2D80:5503:AF00:2DCC:A2CE:1B28:7D11 (talk) 08:15, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

re: photo[edit]

would be nice to get a photo of mr. breen where his eyes are open 71.232.186.102 (talk) 17:05, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Me personally, I think the current photo in its utter ugliness and amateurishness captures the essence of Mr. Breen perfectly. -- Imladros (talk) 18:28, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed fully, this is how he provides pictures of himself, this needs to stay. 99.235.226.57 (talk) 05:26, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A "better" photo defeats the whole point. I applaud whomever chose this photo because it's absolutely perfect for Breen's legacy and in line with the tone of his films. Bravo! 👏 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.11.165.99 (talk) 06:22, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia shouldn't attempt to "artistic" with the choice of picture. It should give a respectful accurate representation of what the person looks like. Please, someone get a better picture! --2601:1C2:1A00:5AF0:A037:B9B1:7A96:2188 (talk) 19:53, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh hell no. This captures Breen's essence perfectly. *chef's kiss* 169.226.208.120 (talk) 18:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

nope, this is a perfect picture Rhn94 (talk) 15:30, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It's childish having a stupid picture just this guy is a questionable director 178.197.210.184 (talk) 22:40, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DOP?[edit]

Perhaps I'm dumb, but what is "Dop" in the filmography table? If it's an acronym for "Director of Photography," which I suspect it is, I've temporarily all caps'd it. If "dop" is a real word however, perhaps it should be clarified somewhere. George Mucus (talk) 01:34, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Birth[edit]

Neil was born in 1946 according to a yearbook. 2603:6080:5D00:2562:32FC:EBFF:FE13:87D8 (talk) 19:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's, apparently, 23 November 1958 TheSupremeMoron (talk) 20:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That kid on the right sure looks like him. 2603:6080:5D00:2562:25F9:8413:5686:472A (talk) 22:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is that before years of hacking into corporate files? I think the internet is split between 46 or 58, with Neil himself claiming he is way younger, which is complete BS. I guess we just need to wait for the Breenius himself to actually confirm it or not. TheSupremeMoron (talk) 23:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
