Talk:Deep Roy

message: Okay it says here that Deep Roy was born in Nairobi which is the capital of Kenya (unless there's a Nairobi in India?) yet in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005 movie) it claims he is of Indian descent. Here, too, it says he was born in Nairobi but claims he is Indian. What am I missing here, anyone care to enlighten me?Ø 23:52, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are large Indian populations in various parts of Africa, particularly in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa. Ghandi, for instance, worked for several years as a lawyer in South Africa. Much like an Indian American might identify as being of Indian descent, Roy is a Kenyan of Indian descent.

message: This is minor, but I wish people would distinguish between members of the great ape family and monkeys. They aren't the same and to claim that his characters in Planet of the Apes are "monkeys" is factually incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.2.9.38 (talk) 04:27, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

message: IMDB and  Amazon.com list Bumper Robinson in the role of Zammis, and not Deep Roy. I have removed the Enemy Mine Filmography entry

message: The Oompa Loompa article describes Roy as a "dwarf actor". This is something I would expect to find mentioned in this article. However, since it isn't, and neither do any of the links make any explicit statement, is the Oompa Loompa article wrong? The fact that the Oompa Loompas appear small on screen means nothing, as they were digitally composited in anyway. 
Also, if the Oompa Loompa article is correct, what would be the currently-acceptable euphemism to use on this page? PeteVerdon 14:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The use of the word "notable" should be discouraged in Wikipedia articles. It is a self-justifying word, and unnecessary.
A cameo appearance has a famous person being on-screen for a few moments. A minor role is not the same thing as a cameo. Mr Roy, while a fine actor, is not a celebrity. Consider that his most notable role is as an Oompah Loompah. Ronstew (talk) 04:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Not sure what a border guide is but i think they meant to say guard, Anyhow...To anyone who has been through Egypt he is only manning a checkpoint, as is clearly stated in the Transformers 2 movie. They have these to make sure you have the appropriate visa to enter certain areas (from Sinai to mainland for example).  Anyhow, its annoying because that movie was full of geographical errors at that point, but the checkpoint was actually somewhat realistic. 75.73.13.212 (talk) 01:17, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: No sources seem to report Deep Roy's birthday but on Tim Burton's Facebook page there is a "Happy Birthday Deep Roy" post dated January 26th. Best clue I've seen yet and I saved a screen shot of it. Is that adequate citation for listing his birthday as January 26th?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mt1955 (talk • contribs) 04:25, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Was I the only one who noticed the extreme amount of misinformation at the top of this article? It said his name was Ethan Pillay, and that he was know professionally as BARRY (yes in all caps)
I've attempted to clean it up a bit and replace it with the correct information, but I just want to know what happened? BingomanSC (talk) 11:10, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
