Talk:Joe Don Baker

Untitled
The article on Joe Don Baker states he is one of six actors to play different roles in offical James Bond movies. However, I believe you left out at least one. The actress Martine Bestwick (not sure of spelling) played a friendly agent, Paula, in Thunderball, plus one of the gypsy dancers in From Russia With Love. And, st least one source says she also was in the opening credits of Dr. No.

Also, Anthony Dawson, who played Professor Dent in Dr. No, apparently played an uncredited Bloefeld in From Russia With Love, and Thunderball. You know, where all you see is his torso and the white cat.

Perhaps these points are stretching the intend of the discussion, but inquiring minds may want to know!

What about his role in the multi-BAFTA winning series, Edge of Darkness in 1985? I believe that he was nominated for a BAFTA that year. It was a big hit in the UK.

Weasel words in a lot of articles about actors
Articles about actors tend to use phrases like "perhaps best known for his/her role in". It is impossible to know what roles an actor is best known for without polling everyone who had an opportunity to see the films they are in. The "perhaps" covers up this problem by making the sentence mean "It is unknown what this actor is best known for, but here is a guess". Does this seem like an overly pedantic semantic quibble?

The references about the movie "Mitchel"
Uh, guys... the references about to movie "Mitchel" in the side box can probably be classified as vandalism. They are all jokes regarding his appearance in an episode of MST3K. He doesn't have a nickname of "Mitchel." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.48.88 (talk) 14:44, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
