Talk:Fred Ward

message: Box office figures were added to this page by 84.173.13.117. However this user has also altered some pages in a way that seems to suggest vandalism. I attempted to verify these figures but could not.
Summer Catch was quoted as grossing $59 million but according to Rotten Tomatoes only grossed $19 million in the U.S. (I think) .
Road Trip was quoted as grossing $352 million but according to IMDb only grossed $68 million in the U.S. .
Of course the quoted figures could be worldwide but without references there is no way knowing whether they are accurate, estimates or completely made-up. I shall contact the user and ask him to provide some references. If anyone else can verify these figures, please revert my changes.

message: This is a Hollywood actor with a long career...I'm surprised not to find a photo of the man anywhere. I had to go to IMDb to remind myself what he looked like. 
I know there are a lot of technical and copyright rules to using appropriate photos so I'm reluctant to go grab one off the web. But this is a real gap in this profile that should be remedied. 63.143.234.56 (talk) 20:30, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

message: The date of Fred's death was incorrect.  I corrected it.  "Actor Fred Ward has died, according to his publicist, Ron Hofmann.
The star, who brought gentlemanly gruffness to films that included The Right Stuff, Henry and June and The Player died Sunday, May 8 at the age of 79. No cause of death was given."  (Quoted from National Public Radio website.)

message: What is Fred Wards birth name? Here on Wikipedia we go with "Freddie Joe Ward", so does Variety.
Hollywood Reporter and New York, on the other hand, go with "Frederick Joseph Ward". Like a famous FBI agent once said :
