message: Why does the article not mention the fact that Mr. Gorshin had a room in his house made entirely of brass in which he would eat chocolate cake each evening?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.50 (talk) 03:23, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

CNN says that he was 72, and I'm sure CNN checks their sources better than any of us Canadian Paul 22:16, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Archives and Records Administration, and the Social Security Adminsitration, all say Frank Gorshin was born in 1933.  I can post a scan of Gorshin's VA card if that would help, but three government agencies I feel outweighs a fan or personal website. -Husnock 04:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: FOLLOWUP: Even after posting his VA card, it was put in the article that Gorshin was born in 1934.  With three government agencies giving a DOB of 1933, that seems pretty offical to me.  If someone gets a hold of his birth certificate, that would of course outweigh everything. -Husnock 05:19, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The section on his work needs to mention more of the roles that he played and expand his involvement in stage shows.  It should also mention the major venues that he headlined with his stage act. --Theo  (Talk) 09:46, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

message: ...Aged 15, he took a part-time job as a cinema usher at the Sheridan Square Theatre. He memorized the mannerisms of the screen stars that he saw and created an impressionist act. He was still in high school when he obtained his first paid employment...
...so, the part-time cinema usher gig was on a volunteer basis?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.12.252.11 (talk) 04:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I seem to recall Gorshim doing a weekly TV show, called Copy Cats, some time after Batman.  Frank did many impressions over the series' run.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.175.225.22 (talk) 17:57, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Denny O'Neil has credited Gorshin with creating the "now classic" question-mark-covered suit and bowler look for the Riddler that is now commonly used in the comics.  Apparently Gorshin did not like the tights so he came up with a new look for the character.  I'm looking for a cite for this fact, any help would be appreciated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JackFloridian (talk • contribs) 03:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

message: This article repeated the oft-told but false account that Gorshin was nominated for an Emmy for his role on Star Trek. There is no evidence that Gorshin was nominated for an Emmy for anything but his role on Batman, and I have provided a citation to the Emmy's website to illustrate this. I also a notation about this, knowing people will otherwise reinsert the demonstrably false info, and added citations to sites that incorrectly repeat this.MrNeutronSF (talk) 01:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emmy Nominations 

message: He also had a memorable role in the 1969 Star Trek episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" as the bigoted half-whiteface, half-blackface alien Bele. Contrary to popular rumor and articles[8][9][10] Gorshin was not Emmy nominated for this role.[11]
For example, the wikipedia article on Star Trek: The Original Series.
I don't know which is true, so I didn't edit either page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.7.156.128 (talk) 02:02, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emmy or not Emmy? That is the question. 

message: This article states: "Carnegie Tech School of Drama (now known as Carnegie Mellon University)" Presumably Carnie Tech is now known as Carnegie Mellon, not just its drama school.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.66.32 (talk) 02:36, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
