Talk:Michelle Gomez

Birthdate?
Do not know the exact date of Birth however attended Shawlands Academy Secondary School after Primary School from 1978 onwards, leaving in 5th year? 1983? I do not know where 1971 came from except and interview however unless she was in a secondary school at 7, leaving at 12 then I would suggest that date is wrong. She was definately born 1966 or 1967 at the latest. Easy to confirm with school register records in Glasgow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.97.133.74 (talk) 20:22, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I looked everywhere for her birthdate, but still can't see it!

If you have any ideas, feel free to add them below...

 * IMDB.com has her date of birth now as April 21, 1971. It would match the interview in the Sunday Herald (which is one of the external links on her page), which was done in March 2006, and gives her age as 34.

I was at Shawlands Academy, Glasgow with Michelle Gomez, same year group though different class (I'm sure she was in 1c5) I was born in 1967 and she is older than me. I agree with the birthdate of April 1966, making her 46. Glasgowlass1967 (talk) 19:31, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Birthdate redux
I'm marking the birthdates with citation needed tags. Whenever major sources give conflicting information, we need to give a source. Note the article itself says she attended a secondary school from 1978. If the 1971 date is correct then she would have been attending secondary school at the age of seven. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 02:47, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Highlander
Is it confirmed that this is the same Michelle Gomez (the show's on DVD; has anyone checked?). Given that Gomez has spent her entire TV and film career in the UK, it seems odd that she'd made a single appearance in an American series filmed in Toronto. It's not impossible, but it's odd man out and should perhaps be double-checked in case there was an American or Canadian actress of this name involved. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 15:07, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Full name
During one of the interviews at San Diego Comic Con, Gomez spoke what apparently is her full name which is a lot longer than Michelle Gomez. Now, it is possible that it's a joke, of course, but if it isn't, there might be some info worth adding if it can be confirmed elsewhere. The name in question is uttered (among other places) at about 0:37 on this video from Comic Con. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 00:55, 11 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Your video is unavailable. She mentions her full name again and calls herself "Sottish Mexican" in this video. I am not Hispanic so I can't understand her full name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:1D70:C800:BCEA:A922:F0D6:7254 (talk) 17:16, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Appearance with Rob Brydon in The Brink
She and Rob Brydon appear as apparent recurring characters in episode 5 of The Brink on HBO. The appear to be eccentric, if not sociopaths from Britain who are ex-patriots in Pakistan. Their character names are not revealed in their first appearance, though they appear to be married.

Birthdate again
Michelle is saying on twitter that her birthday is November 23rd - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.99.233.11 (talk) 12:05, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
 * But where is the year coming from? We have 1966 but the only source linked to this article with a birth year says 1971. 68.146.233.86 (talk) 17:31, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

11 Doctor Who Episodes?
I don't think this is correct as far as I know she has only appeared in 9 episodes: Deep Breath, Into the Dalek,The Caretaker,Flatline,In the Forest of the Night,Dark Water,Death in Heaven, The Magician's Apprentice and The Witch's familiar.Michelle Gomez has only been confirmed to appear in 3 episodes of Series 10 Extremis, World Enough and Time and The Doctor Falls.Source:http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-04-15/doctor-who-series-10-steven-moffats-episode-guide \

I think it should thus read 9 episodes (3+ episodes upcoming) 129.234.0.27 (talk) 13:34, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Birthdate redux
If you google her name the information that comes up in the biographical infobox for Google shows a November 1966 birthdate, not April. There's enough uncertainty here that I'm going to toss up a citation needed tag in the infobox. For the sake of WP:BLP this needs to be properly sourced. 68.146.233.86 (talk) 23:55, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
