Talk:Buddy Hackett

message: The page doesn't seem to do justice to the fact that Buddy's main income and time for most of his career was spent doing nightclubs/vegas with his comedy act. The talk show appearances and films may have been visible to many, but it wasn't his main work!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.203.81 (talk) 19:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Around 1981, Hackett appeared in an episode of "Murder She Wrote" as a has been comedian. This was during the first three seasons of the series. His role wasn't a cameo, he was a key character.  --2601:8C3:4000:8EB4:51F8:235C:9852:F7E1 (talk) 00:59, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for File:Buddy Hackett.jpg

message: I edited this section because Buddy Hackett only appeared in one (1) episode of Space Rangers, not in two episodes, as was reported in this section. This can be verified through Wikipedia's own page on Space Rangers: Space Rangers Episodes: Wiki Page. The only episode that he appeared in was: "To Be Or Not To Be".

thread_title:  Correction on Space Rangers Bio Credit 

message: The article mentions Hackett growing up in Brooklyn in the Borough Park section on 54th Street and 14th Avenue; this is not really correct.
Having grown up on 58th Street and 17th Avenue, this part of Brooklyn is really considered the New Utrecht section of Brooklyn; Borough Park is actually a bit further north with lower street and avenue intersections; New Utrecht is more accurately between Borough Park and Bensonhurst to the south.
Indeed, that Hackett went to New Utrecht High School should make this reasonably clear however the way school districts are drawn, especially for something for so large an area as a high school would not, of course, make this necessarily so.

thread_title: Not Really Borough Park

message: Hackett took serious roles you might not have expected him to play, some of which rendered him nearly or completely unrecognizable. One is in an episode of The Big Valley, in which he plays Heath's (presumed) father. An even more-startling role is in episode 2.2 of The Rifleman, where he's the crazed father of three sociopathic men. I thought he looked vaguely familiar, but was nevertheless startled when reading the credits. This article needs a deeper discussion of Hackett as a dramatic actor.

thread_title: Hackett as a "serious" actor

message: What does this mean:
"Jules White himself told several interviewers that the story was (censored), and he alternated between laughter and anger that Buddy was using his name to weave the tale."
The story was censored or the story was described profanely by Jules White and somebody here censored the description? In either case, here is extra profanity to cover any that was missed: fuck shit piss ass balls. --68.41.20.17 (talk) 18:33, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "(censored)" in "Early Career" section 

message: IMDB says that his last credits were in 2003 and not 2000.
Should his years active be left at 2000, or get changed to 2003?

message: Buddy had the guest star role in an episode of MacMillan and Wife where he played a well known comedian attending his college reunion while several former classmates are murdered. This should be added to the filmography Massanissa (talk) 04:20, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
