Talk:Don Cheadle

message: Jimmy Kimmel recently changed the photo for Don Cheadles Wiki page to one he took himself. Prior to Jimmy's change the original photo had been in place since 2011 and become somewhat famous. 
I think the new photo does not present Don Cheadle correctly and should be changed to the original, which was taken at the United Nations and is much better. Sheriff lacombe (talk) 20:46, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Don himself says in verifiable video that the photo is representative of him, and is professionally done by Jimmy Kimmel, and Don even shoots down one photo in that video that he thinks isn't good enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82dyXsYsaPs Justaguy76 (talk) 22:50, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

message: Removed the following:  "The Don was invited to do the commercials because he was a former player for the Arizona Cardinals.  He starred on special teams for two seasons before a catastrophic knee injury suffered in a pre-season kick return ended his storied career." 128.171.154.49 (talk) 10:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Apparently Don Cheadle has done some theatrical acting in live plays as well.  He was, at the very least, in Topdog/Underdog.  Probably worth investigating, if someone has the time to dig all that information up. Bradkoch2007 (talk) 23:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I edited the infobox and corrected his name to Donald Frank Cheadle, as this is the name that was given in the main article. I could find no source for his previously listed middle name, Franklin, though if someone has one, please post and correct my edit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.139.132 (talk) 08:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I heard rumors of Don Cheadle producing a Miles Davis biopic over  a year ago.  Not heard anything recently.  What's happening with this project?  Don should not only produce this but star in it as the volatile genious horn player.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.229.99.133 (talk) 00:44, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  re: Miles Davis biopic 

message: From the "Career" section: "He has made appearances in films including Rosewood, The Family Man, Boogie Nights, a cameo appearance in the film Abby Singer, Out of Sight, Traffic, and Ocean's Eleven (2001).".Isn't is a bit confusing? I wasn't sure if the cameo was refering to Abby Singer or all the last 4 films mentioned. If it's just Abby Singer, maybe it would be better to write:"He has made appearances in films including Rosewood, The Family Man, Boogie Nights, Abby Singer (cameo appearance), Out of Sight, Traffic, and Ocean's Eleven (2001).".Would anyone like to correct this? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 11:27, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

message: From the Personal life section: "In 2008 Cheadle's family history was profiled on the PBS series African American Lives 2. A DNA test shows that he has Cameroonian ancestry."If the DNA issue was mentioned on the TV program, maybe it should be more clear. How about "According to the TV show, a DNA test shows that he has Cameroonian ancestry". What do you think? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 11:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

message: He played Captain Planet in a short 4 episodes long series on "Funny or Die" a youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwJaELXadKo Is this something worth mentioning on his artcile here on wikipedia? It got millions of views.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E2:DF0B:300:183F:97E7:FF54:12FB (talk) 16:20, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Don Cheadle is Captain Planet 

message: I believe one of Don's children now identifies as male. So could that be changed? I just wanted to discuss it before changing anything. His son has videos on YouTube (for school) and it has been rarely, but otherwise there isn't much on it. He goes just by Tai now. If there's not enough information for that to be considered credible could "daughters" at least be changed to a more ambiguous "children"? 192.138.214.116 (talk) 03:06, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue here is verifiability. How do we know that the person with the YouTube videos is in fact Cheadle's child? —C.Fred (talk) 03:41, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: https://i.imgur.com/uyBidXS.png same as the kid who made the videos. He also posted on Tumblr that he was gonna tell his dad to tell Chris Evan's his body looks like a Dorito and in a later interview RDJ called Chris a Dorito. I know that's not total proof, but he's admitted multiple times to being Don's kid online. 
edit: oh and there are of course other pics of him with his dad, including family photos and movie events.

text: An imgur pic is just short of useless for verification. That's why the article will stay with what reliable sources have published until/unless new news comes out in a reliable source. —C.Fred (talk) 23:15, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
