Talk:Joe Mantegna

Untitled
I think Tony Mantegna deserves a photo of himself on his own wikipedia entry, rather than a pic of 'Fat Tony' from The Simpsons.. Whatever did he do to deserve such disrespect? : )  Dirk Diggler Jnr

a proud chicago native- i believe he started a restauraunt called taste of Chicago in pasadena so he could have easy access to his favorite chicago specialties. he has also appeared on WGN broadcast(s) of Cub games.

Italian-American ? or American ?
So is he American, or Italian-American ? The article says he was born in Chicago, which I think is enough to call him American. Ohyeahmormons changed him from "an American actor" to "an Italian-American actor". It's just my opinion, but I think we should call him American. The article then goes on to say he is of Italian-American descent, which is fair enough. The article does not need two links to Italian-American. Does he have dual Italian and American nationality ? Does he describe himself as Italian-American ? If the answer to either of these is "yes" then Ohyeahmormons' edit should be allowed to stand. If the answer to both is "no" then I think we should revert Ohyeahmormons' edit to show him as being American, and leave the Italian-American reference to his family. Any one got any other opinions ?

Bias
Isn't this a bit biased for a wikipedia article?

The waterboy reference, while funny, is minutia. I am deleting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.102.196.38 (talk) 09:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Norman Mailer
The article on Mailer's pen-knife assault on his wife Adele needs a typographical correction,. The article misspells Mantegna's name (as Mantega), in a reference to the doc. film made by Mantegna concerning this incident. I do not know how to make this correction. Also, this article needs a reference to this work of mantegna's — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.16.67.80 (talk) 06:26, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Pronunciation of the name
I'm sorry, but every time I hear how this guys name is pronounced I think that it should be written with 'ng' not 'gn'. Is this some kind of local pronunciation in US?

 * He's of Italian descent and, in Italian, "gn" is generally pronounced as "nee". Other Italian words like "magna" and "lasagna" share the same principle. RomeW (talk) 15:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Three Amigos a box office hit?
It's a notorious flop. It certainly shouldn't be listed before Godfather III. I suspect it was inserted as a joke. Unless anyone objects, I'll replace Three Amigos with something more noteworthy.61.93.86.104 (talk) 13:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
