Massive confusion[edit]

According to the BFI database there are TWO actors named Robert East. The Robert East known for Blackadder died in 1990, and the other Robert East, known for Spooks. Here's a clip of Robert East (interrogating) in Spooks and it's DEFINITELY a different actor to the one in Blackadder. So IMDb and Wikipedia have got them both confused into one. I'll do my best to amend. Crisso (talk) 03:27, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I aways thought, under the rules of the actors' union Equity, that there could not be more than one actor with a given name. If there are in fact two actors called Robert East, this would support the belief that the Black Adder actor died in 1990. Can any one corroborate this? I am going to work on the article and put back the info that can only be about that actor. Jack1956 (talk) 11:10, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
