Talk:Michael Wade (Canadian actor)

message: :Moved here from WT:AN
Hello again. Thanks for your email. I am the English actor Michael Wade, which is my real name, with no middle names, born in Brighton, England in 1946. My claims can be confirmed by watching my showreel on www.vimeo.com/michaelwade or www.vimeo.com/106951476   
The first clip on the showreel is from Hector Babenco's 2007 film 'El Pasado'. I am the English speaking actor sitting to the left of Gael Garcia Bernal.
In the second clip I am Dr Brandreth in the 1997 series 'A Dance to the Music of Time'. This can be further verified by looking at the IMDb full cast list.
In the third and fourth clips I am Lord Clifford, playing opposite Simon Callow as King Charles ll, in the 1995 film 'England My England'. In the cast list I am named as Michael John Wade. The middle name 'John' was forced on me by British Actors' Equity (to avoid mistaking me for a singer named Mike Wade!) but I rarely used it. Equity still have me registered as Michael John Wade.
The fifth clip is another scene from 'A Dance to the Music of Time'.
The sixth clip is from a drama/documentary, the name of which I don't recall.
The seventh clip is a scene from the 1993 TV series 'Brighton Belles' in which I play Mark, with Wendy Craig and Sheila Gish.
The eighth clip is from the 'Auton' Trilogy, and my first line in it is, "My name is Lockwood...."!!! It was the leading role, but it has been cited in the Canadian Michael Wade's Wikipedia and IMDb credits as his major claim to fame!
In the ninth clip I am Dai Bread in 'Under Milk Wood', also called 'An Evening with Dylan Thomas', a 1992 Air Studios/George Martin production directed by and starring Anthony Hopkins, who appears in the clip with me.
In the tenth clip, a commercial, I appear with Nicholas Briggs, who, incidentally, directed 'Auton'.
If you google 'Jo Soares Michael Wade', you will see me being interviewed in Portuguese by the great Brazilian chat show host Jo Soares in November 2012. In the interview some of my clips are shown, including a couple of seconds of me in the 1966 film 'A Man For All Seasons'. 
If I can be of any further help in de-conflating the two CVs please let me know.
Yours sincerely, Michael Wade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Collenette Wade (talk • contribs)

Re: Michael Collenette Wade.
Re: Michael John Wade.
In an effort to avoid further confusion, as I have already stated, my real and professional name is Michael Wade, with NO middle names. However, three days ago, on December the 12th, when I tried to sign in to Wikipedia for the first time ever to complain about this matter, I was not permitted to proceed under my real name, or under Mike Wade, because these names are already taken by others. I therefore decided to use my mother's rather unusual maiden name Collenette as a middle name - and it worked! I stress again that it is NOT my real name. And just to repeat, all my claims are easily verifiable by viewing my showreel at: www.vimeo.com/michaelwade 
Lastly, also to avoid further confusion over the name Michael John Wade, and as previously stated, the third and fourth clips on my showreel are scenes from 'England My England'. On the IMDb cast list I am named as Michael John Wade. This name was forced on me by British Actors' Equity, but I rarely used it, although Equity still has me listed under that name. 
Please forgive any repetition, but I am not good with computers, and the fact that I have managed to get this far is a minor miracle!

replies: text: I have re-written the article to ONLY include the Canadian actor's work, he may not be notable enough for an article though. Theroadislong (talk) 15:24, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
