Talk:Alan Dale

Reason for casting
It seems to have escaped everyone's attention, but Dale looks like Stephen Berkoff's long lost twin. Hollywood casting directors have long loved Berkoff as a 'rentabaddy' and now can have their own 'budget Berkoff' in Alan Dale. I'd say this is a key reason for his repeated casting success.

Future roles?
What does the subhead "Future Roles" mean? It doesn't seem to make sense as used here. Nomorenonotnever (talk) 00:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Renaissance
I've removed "Renaissance" from the filmography for now because there is no concrete evidence that the "pilot" will definitely air separately from Moving Wallpaper (BBC, DS, What's on TV, The Sun all giving conflicting info). Bradley0110 (talk) 21:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Really? They all seem to suggest that it will air separately to me. And of those four sources, the only truly reliable one is the BBC (although DS and WOT are fine). Which is the source that says it won't air separately? Gran2 21:23, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The Stage has "the drama will be shown as a one-off on ITV1.", guardian.co.uk has "Renaissance will air separately at some point either on ITV1, itv.com or one of ITV's digital channels", DS has "Titled Renaissance, it will air as a one-off special either on ITV1 or online; however, no airdate has yet been confirmed.". The only thing confirmed is that the "Renaissance" scenes will be interspersed throughout the episodes, with the possibility that they will be stitched together at the end.

"Australians of New Zealand descent"
I'm just wondering whether this is an appropriate category. He is a New Zealander who moved to Australia for work purposes at age 32 for just 11 years. Although he has a home in Australia, it seems it has not been his primary home for nearly 20 years. He still travels on a New Zealand passport, so it appears he does not have Australian citizenship. Finally, from the quotes in the article, it appears he still considers himself a NZer. So given all that, what exactly makes him Australian? -- BigBadaboom0 (talk) 03:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nothing. I guess I must have missed that, well spotted. Gran2 17:21, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Not that it matters to me personally but there is this quote: Format (talk) 20:15, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Height
How tall is he? The scene I'm watching he looks ridiculously tall. He's literally towering over Helen Daniels, I'm guessing about 100ft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.103.174.26 (talk) 04:36, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Stylistic clean-up required
I've tagged this article as being written in an inappropriate style. Details about Dale's early life and personal life stray into Hello! magazine territory in several places: stuff like 'although he was a gentle child, Dale was bullied so he learned to defend and stand up for himself', 'Dale also has two children from this marriage, Daniel and Nick, who "keep him young" ' and 'Both of Dale's parents died in 2007, and he regrets not spending enough time with them' simply don't belong in an encyclopaedia ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 20:47, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Neighbours return
Dale is a making an appearance as Jim (probably in a dream or in a flashback sequence) during the 25 December episode. - JuneGloom07 Talk  16:18, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
