Talk:Joel Grey

Untitled
May 2008 issue of Instinct Magazine cites Joel Grey as "...an out, proud gay man." Is this fact?

... one of only seven people ...
The following is quoted from the Tony Award Site (http://www.tonyawards.com/en_US/archive/dyk/index.html):

"Eight performers have won the Tony and later the Oscar for the same role: José Ferrer in Cyrano de Bergerac (Tony: 1947/Oscar: 1950), Shirley Booth in Come Back, Little Sheba (1950/1953), Yul Brynner in The King and I (1952/1956), Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady (1957/1964), Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker (1960/1962), Paul Scofield in A Man for All Seasons (1962/1966), Jack Albertson in The Subject Was Roses (1965/1968) and Joel Grey in Cabaret (1967/1973). Lila Kedrova did it the other way around. She won an Oscar for Zorba the Greek, and 20 years later won a Tony for the same role in Zorba (1964 Oscar/1984 Tony)."

Based on this, the number should be changed to nine. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.115.220.51 (talk) 09:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC).

Superfluous?
In 1991, he played an out of this world man, Adam, on the series finale of Dallas. (...) He played the role of a demon in the final episode of Dallas.

Shouldn't those two be condensed in one phrase? --88.218.64.75 17:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Joel Grey on Matlock
Joel Grey also played the role of a former dancer convicted or murder on an episode of Matlock.74.45.82.129 (talk) 04:20, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Joel Grey also appeared in "Brooklyn Bridge"
Joel Grey also appeared in two episodes of the TV show, "Brooklyn Bridge". This is confirmed on the IMDB entry for "Brooklyn Bridge" as follows:

"Joel Grey ... Jacob Prossman (2 episodes, 1992-1993)"

(I'd like for someone to edit the the Joel Grey article to correct this omission. I have no idea how to do so...)

Am I drunk or just dreaming
Did he not appear sometime during the 80s or 90s in a sort of ninjary type thing, as an American Ninja. If I remember it right, it was the same program that included the scene of the lead character as a boy complaining that he can't cross a thin wooden plank across a gap because he is too heavy. To that the ninja master climbs up and easily crosses the plank saying "Am I heavier than you, am I heavier than the cat?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.158.8 (talk) 22:25, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Worth adding mention?

Grammy Awards?
Can someone please direct me to a reputable source that proves that Mr. Grey has any Grammy Awards?

His [|official Grammys page] only lists one nomination: for Best Musical Theater Album for "Anything Goes."

Furthermore, his IMDb page, cited as the primary source in this section of the awards and nominations table, does not mention any Grammy wins for "Cabaret" or "Chicago"; again, just the one nomination for "Anything Goes."

Including principal soloists is a relatively recent change to Grammys eligibility in the Best Musical Theater Album category.
