Talk:Mark Williams (actor)

Football
"He is a supporter of both Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion". The referenced article says "Now 44, he is an ardent Aston Villa fan, although, as he lives in Brighton, he has a fair way to travel for home games." No mention of Brighton & Hove. A quick web search finds a mention on the Seagulls' but not one which mentions support for the club. Simon Marchese (talk) 09:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Contradiction
There is a contradiction with regards to where he was born: at the top it says Leicestershire, under personal life it states Bromsgrove 81.107.131.234 (talk) 22:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Selected Films
The selected films list is uncomplete. Check Mark Williams at IMDB if you wish to conclude the list of movies he has been in. Do not read again, do not remove this infromation. ForestH2 23:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)ForestH2


 * Of course it's incomplete. That's why it's called a list of selected films. If the list were to contain all the films Williams had been in, it would then be a comprehensive list. However, there's no point in doing that, as the iMDB link is at the bottom of the page anyway. Thefamouseccles 09:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Advert
What was the product he advertised with that scouse woman, where he says "We wanna be togetha!". That was the very first thing I saw him in. The phrase was commonly used to mock people with West Midlands accents around the time Martyn Smith 07:36, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It was an ad campaign for the Prudential, also featuring Jo Unwin. Tobelia 12:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Impartiality
Do phrases like "brilliantly portrayed" and "excellent documentary programmes" break impartiality? These adjectives seem to portray an opinion. For NPOV, it should be made clear that the opinions are themselves taken from sources, if applicable, rather than the opinion of the writer of the article, e.g. "several documentary programs widely regarded to be excellent", or something along those lines. Altreus (talk) 02:42, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, these are opinions. Equally, the claim: 'He is best known as', in the intro paragraph, seems equally out of place, not to mention questionable. surfingus (talk) 11:54, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Television work since 1992
Has Mark Williams ever been in Coronation Street? What other TV programmes has he appeared in? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rootytooty (talk • contribs) 10:13, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Rumor is that Mark Williams will be playing Rory Williams-Pond's father in Series 7 of Doctor Who. JenniferRSong (talk) 04:03, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Blandings - Not in season 2
Was he too busy with Father Brown, was he dropped, was it another reason? 92.24.193.198 (talk) 21:50, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Twirlywoos
In what little online research I've done, I cannot find any proof that Williams was ever on Twirlywoos.

Plus, the episode title given in the grid is, according to IMDb, is not correct -- it's too long.

Can someone do a little deeper digging and verify one way or the other?

Also, I find it odd that the entire "Filmography" has absolutely no inline citations or references of any kind. As such, where did all the info come from and can it be verified. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 03:20, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/twirlywoos/episodes/3/13A - title correct, actor correct. JohnHarris (talk) 15:41, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Alleged errors
There is a 2021 interview with Williams here, with the comment: "He’s covered his career and made jokes about the wild inaccuracies on his Wikipedia page. “A lot of it's wrong. I keep changing it but then people change it back.”"  Does this require some action by editors, to correct the purported "wild inaccuracies"? Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:35, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
