So which one is Kevin McKidd? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.83.64 (talk) 21:22, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Residence
Kevin now lives in L.A. Maybe someone should update that. And, talk about how rockin' his new show is. Hmph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.174.232.224 (talk) 17:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Dog Soldiers
Dog Soldiers is not a 'cult classic'. It did poorly at the box-office and it was slammed by critics.--Soetermans 20:27, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It currently has a 78% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, reviewed by mostly legitimate critics. Plus it was never released in theaters in the U.S. It's a cult classic.--Boonjava 2:08, 7 September 2006 (EST)

Something wrong with template
It's showing "resting place" as if he's dead, but of course he's not. I don't know how to fix this. Maybe someone else does.71.185.74.177 02:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I fixed it. I removed the empty "notable role" slot. 71.185.74.177 02:17, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Kingdom of Heaven
Hmmmm... Not sure Kingdom of Heaven should be called a "block buster" in this article. It was "an epic" but is considered a financial disappointment - people were not lining up around the block to see it. The film made $47,398,413 in the US but cost $130 million. Even with the foreign gross of $164,244,745, the studio does not consider it a hit. Codymr 02:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Introduction
I think way too many of his roles are listed in the introduction to this article. I feel we should only keep the Trainspotting, Dog Soldiers, and Grays Anatomy roles in that list. The 'Best Known In' should cover roles he's more well known in - not as Colin in the movie Made of Honor, which I highly doubt he played a memorable role in (not removing that out of spite, but that film was dogshit).

I don't know, personally, I'd leave all the roles to his filmography.

Statement about Paternity
I see this dubious statement, which has the added taint of being both unsourced and unpunctuated:

he is also known to be the dad of callum edwards

I suspect its insertion may be a prank. It may also be libelous, eh? Thuvan Dihn (talk) 01:25, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Marriage
Is there a reliable source saying he and his wife are divorced? Librarynerds (talk) 23:59, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Anonymous editors in edit war
There has been a string of continued anonymous edits to this article adding/altering a nationality change from the long-standing information British to unreferenced Scottish. None of these edits provides explanation or even edit summaries but occasionally seem to be supported by editors reverting the reversions of these edits. Future edits must include a justification on this talk page as this it what it is for.--Polyssotsky (talk) 11:47, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - it is rather ambiguous which it should be especially as there is a mixture of categories some using Scottish and some using British categories. If you are using British in the text then surly all of the categories should be British to match. Keith D (talk) 19:58, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think there's any WP policy on what range of categories can be added to an article so editors are free to add categories. They don't dictate any of the article content though.--Polyssotsky (talk) 10:39, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * What sources are used to describe him as British? Around 1996, when Trainspotting came out, I think most people would have considered him Scottish. But I think we need to look at sources. Does anyone have any? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  19:26, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Editors insisting McKidd's nationality is "British" need to justify this argument. The topic of UK nationality is complicated, but Scotland is an individual nation that, while part of the UK, has its own cultural and national identity. This perspective is supported by Wikipedia's "Nationality of people from the United Kingdom" page. Thus, even leaving aside McKidd's repeated self-identification as Scottish; his Scottish accent; his stated support for Scottish independence; and the significance of his Scottishness to arguably his most famous role (Trainspotting), it seems clear that if someone thinks "British" is truly the most accurate and impartial reflection of McKidd's nationality -- prioritising self-identification -- they need to give clear and compelling reasons why, including sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.18.0.95 (talk • contribs) 11:23, February 11 (UTC)
 * The above anonymous editor who has been blocked for vandalism, is simply giving an opinion. How does this fit with Wikipedia policy? The opinion above is simply stating that one form is better than the other form because he think so. I disagree.--Riftbase (talk) 12:24, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see why there is anything wrong with calling him British and the guy above saying that he is Scottish and can't be British is not showing an knowledge of geography. By Wikipedia's policy we need some good evidence to change it from British not just a lot of statements of point of view.--80.2.23.243 19:33, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Struck the comments by a confirmed sockpuppet. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 10:17, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
