thread_title: Could we umm...

message: I gotta say, I don't think the Trivia section adds anything at all to the article.  The only point that might be even vaguely noteworthy is the last point about being confused with Roddy McDowell, but even that would need some citation.  The list of famous people he's portrayed seems rather bizarre, since it contains entries who aren't actually particularly famous in the English-speaking world (Chikatilo) and two entries that aren't even actually people, but rather fictional characters (at least one of whom, Whistler, isn't even a famous fictional character).  After reading through Wikipedia:Trivia, I'm going to go ahead and remove the section. Binabik80 04:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

message: For better or worse (probably worse) Caligula_(film) is probably one of the movies most strongly associated with McDowell. Is there a good reason to omit any mention of it? Dvd Avins (talk) 20:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

message: ..."son of Edna (née McDowell), a hotelier, and Charles Taylor, a pub owner.[1][2][3]  However, six weeks after McDowell was born, his family relocated to the east coast of Yorkshire (in Bridlington) because his father was in the Royal Air Force" - so the RAF employs pub owners?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.202.226 (talk) 05:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  very strange. 

message: The current pictures (as of 2012-08-30) are: 
* File:Malcolm McDowell LF.JPG
* File:Mcdowellgfdl.PNG
* File:Malcolm_McDowell_Cannes_2011.jpg
None of these are mentioned in the next section ("Could we umm..."); furthermore, all seem to have the proper permissions file in the OTRS system, which resolves the issues raised in the following three sections (about fair use rationale).
I have therefore made this new section, & rolled the 4 old sections, unchanged, into it. My intention is improve this Talk page by making it easier for readers to skip sections that are no longer current. If I am violating some policy, please revert my changes. 173.45.200.48 (talk) 04:01, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Obsolete comments about pictures 

message: This section contains 159 entries, I think it should be split into several sections, or made into a separate article. It also should be made into a table or three: Film, Voice, and TV perhaps173.45.200.48 (talk) 22:30, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed—the articles I've seen on actors this prolific direct readers to separate articles for lists of their work. It seems unnecessarily overwhelming, IMHO, having this much content on one page. – AndyFielding (talk) 12:04, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

I found no evidence that McDowell was in a previous version of this show. Is it possible the person who wrote this didn't know what "reprise" meant? – AndyFielding (talk) 12:07, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
