message: IMDB, a source we cite, says he was born "Fahrid Murray Abraham", yet the article says he was born "Frederico Abrammo Monteglini".  Can anyone explain this discrepancy and confirm his true birth name?  JackofOz 13:02, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Name at birth

message: I found a link to F. Murray from the list of Arab-Americans, but here it says he is from Italian heritage, so what is it?
Here is what says:
"His grandfather was a legendary singer in his village in Syria, and his father was the only son to survive the famine in Syria during WWI. His father emigrated, met and married an Italian-American woman, and Abraham was born as WWII started gearing up" I will try edit this article --christos7 23:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Italian or Arab? 

message: I don't know much about Mr Abraham's work. I see that his mother was "an Italian American, the daughter of an immigrant", and that he has appeared in many films with titles (and I'm guessing, dialogue) in Italian. Does anybody have a cite on his level of fluency in the Italian language? -- 201.50.251.197 14:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm hoping someone can add a different photo of FMA. Using a photo of him made up to look old in Amadeus doesn't really tell you what he looks like. Perhaps someone can find a different photo of him from that film? Thanks.Lafong 19:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Different Photo Please?

message: F Murray has narrated a ton of "Nature" documentaries.  You can hardly watch Nature anymore without hearing his resonant baritone.
This needs added to the article.67.170.160.194 (talk) 06:15, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Nature

message: I was a friend of F. Murray Abraham's extended family in Pittsburgh.  Neither Abraham nor his relatives are Iraqi. They are Syrians. They are Antiochian Orthodox Christians but are not called Assyrians.  They refer to themselves like anyone else from Syria, namely "Syrian." No Syrian calls themselves "Assyrian".  Why shy away from the word Syrian?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.250.100 (talk) 04:57, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

message: The article says "He gained visibility voicing a talking bunch of grapes in a series of television commercials for Fruit of the Loom underwear.[10]"  Is this a joke? If not, a better phrase could be found .. e.g. "gained more attention"  or "became well known as" or something - gaining visibility through voice work just sounds daft. Or is it some sneaky vandalism? Jabberwock359 (talk) 12:06, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

message: Should F. Murray Abraham's article state that he is Assyrian? Henanton (talk) 00:48, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The source clearly states that his paternal grandfather was part of the Syrian Orthodox Church which I've already proven is the same as the Syriac Orthodox Church. Henanton (talk) 16:21, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: They don't say Syriac because when his father was in the church it was called Syrian Orthodox Church. I will not add Assyrian to his article but I will add that his paternal grandfather was part of the Syriac Orthodox Church. If you revert it you will likely be blocked. The source says Syrian Orthodox Church which was the old name of the Syriac Orthodox Church. End of story. You say we go by facts on wikipedia but instead you put his paternal grandfather was part of the Greek Antioach when it says no such thing. Also, Terrence Malicks parents are Assyrians from Urmia which is in Iran. There are ZERO Lebanese people living there and his father was 100% Assyrian and Urmia still has tons of Assyrians living in it and even the name Urmia is Assyrian.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henanton (talk • contribs) 18:20, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
