Talk:Joe Mantegna

message: I think Tony Mantegna deserves a photo of himself on his own wikipedia entry, rather than a pic of 'Fat Tony' from The Simpsons..  Whatever did he do to deserve such disrespect?  : )  Dirk Diggler Jnr
a proud chicago native- i believe he started a restauraunt called taste of Chicago in pasadena so he could have easy access to his favorite chicago specialties.  he has also appeared on WGN broadcast(s) of Cub games.
=== Italian-American ? or American ? ===
So is he American, or Italian-American ? The article says he was born in Chicago, which I think is enough to call him American.
Ohyeahmormons changed him from "an American actor" to "an Italian-American actor".
It's just my opinion, but I think we should call him American.
The article then goes on to say he is of Italian-American descent, which is fair enough. The article does not need two links to Italian-American.
Does he have dual Italian and American nationality ? Does he describe himself as Italian-American ? If the answer to either of these is "yes" then Ohyeahmormons' edit should be allowed to stand.
If the answer to both is "no" then I think we should revert Ohyeahmormons' edit to show him as being American, and leave the Italian-American reference to his family.
Any one got any other opinions ? GeraldH 11:40, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The article on Mailer's pen-knife assault on his wife Adele needs a typographical correction,. The article misspells Mantegna's name (as Mantega), in a reference to the doc. film made by Mantegna concerning this incident. I do not know how to make this correction. Also, this article needs a reference to this work of mantegna's  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.16.67.80 (talk) 06:26, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry, but every time I hear how this guys name is pronounced I think that it should be written with 'ng' not 'gn'. Is this some kind of local pronunciation in US?

replies: text: He's of Italian descent and, in Italian, "gn" is generally pronounced as "nee". Other Italian words like "magna" and "lasagna" share the same principle. RomeW (talk) 15:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
