Talk:Mandy Patinkin

message: You might want to rework the section on him "quiting" Criminal Minds over "creative differences". The fact is that he never voiced any of that to anyone at the show. There are many articles about him just suddenly not showing up for work and not telling anyone why for a week or more. In fact there are quotes from at least one co-worker, who said he (Mandy Patinkin) would see them back at work when the show started up again for the 3rd season. So it is not so clear that the guy planned to do this. He certainly never mentioned to any of his bosses that he would not be back, per quotes from them.

thread_title:  Fired from Criminal Minds 

message: This article reads like his PR agent wrote it.
:I agree. I feel like part of his image is that he is difficult to work with. About his time on Chicago Hope he even says “I struggled with letting in other people’s opinions,” he said. “During ‘Chicago Hope,’ I never let directors talk to me, because I was so spoiled. I started off with people like Milos Forman, Sidney Lumet, James Lapine, unbelievably gifted people. So there I was saying, ‘Don’t talk to me, I don’t want your opinion.’ I behaved abominably. I don’t care if my work was good or if I got an award for it. I’m not proud of how I was then, and it pained me.” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/25/magazine/mandy-patinkin-i-behaved-abominably.html But to read this he's never been anything but a consummate professional. It reflects a fawning "speak no eveil" adoration that the man doesn't even have for himself. Gripdamage (talk) 19:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I don't know if it's worth noting, but in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (7x08, Sleeper), the character Xander is awoken early in the morning and says, "OK, OK, I'm coming. I'm up. It's 4:30 in the morning. Sweet Mamaloshen. (through door) Who is it?"  This the only time I've heard of it. --Gero 19:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

message: What happened to the trivia section? It seems it was sneakily deleted by a user named Tell-Tale Ghost with no explanation whatsoever. Is there a reason for this? If not, someone should put it back.

thread_title:  Trivia 

message: The lead-in says refers to him as a "renowned tenor". Personally I find his singing voice grating, lacking in power and generally terrible -- are there any references for "renowned"? --ukexpat 20:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Really? Which version of Webster's? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/renowned has 'widely acclaimed and highly honored : celebrated' - which is much closer to the definition I have in my mind. I don't think anyone would call Hitler renowned, but he's definitely famous. Not that I'm equating Mandy Patinkin with Hitler, but I'd still like to see some evidence that he's held in high regard, as a tenor. --Oolong (talk) 13:01, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The name of the high school, at the time when Patinkin attended, was Kenwood High School, not Kenwood Academy.  The "Academy" name came much later, early 80s being my guess.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomaso (talk • contribs) 19:49, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Possible reference

message: Are we sure about this? Here I thought he was best known for his work in The Princess Bride. Maybe it depends where in the world you are? I'm in Britain, and I only know he's done musical theatre because I looked him up on Wikipedia. When I've watched other things with him in, with other people, there's often a moment when the penny drops and they go 'Oh! It's him out of The Princess Bride!' --Oolong (talk) 13:06, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

message: In the first paragraph of Personal Life there's a mention of his son Gideon joining him in a performance of Dress Casual--which isn't mentioned in the Career section.  Is this the correct placement of this tidbit, or maybe should there be at least a comment about Dress Casual in the chronological spot in Mandy's performances as well?

message: Mandy Patinkin announced last night on The Colbert Report that he wants to run for Prime Minister of Israel after the fourth season of Homeland. This announcement should either should be added to his "career" section or a new category added.

message: I do not see any mention of the Grammy nomination Mandy Patinkin received in 1999 for Best Spoken Word Album for The Diaries Of Adam And Eve: Translated By Mark Twain (Album).  Searching "mandy patinkin" on the Grammy website brings up a link to a page documenting this nomination.  I would think this could be added to the Awards and nominations section.
