Talk:Ken Kwapis

Correct birth year
I just corrected the birth year, which should be 1957. The IMDb has this wrong, incidentally. --Jeremy Butler 17:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

IMDb gets a lot of things wrong. You can never fully trust their information. Gingermint (talk) 04:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Some Fixes
I fixed some things in this article so it would be slightly less embarrassing. That said, the article is way too long and someone who has more steady hands than I must do a lot of cutting. Gingermint (talk) 04:50, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
