Talk:James Nesbitt

message: Based on recent acceptance by the British Gov that people born to Northern Ireland are entitled to be Irish, without also being British, I have changed a couple of notations. Since James carries both a British and Irish passport I added "Irish" under citizenship, and removed "British" from the opening sentence as this label for people from Northern Ireland are invariably a point of contention, and with him accepting both it is disingenuous to refer to him as only "British." It seems to me in other articles saying both Irish AND British seems to create the same sort of arguements so leaving it as "from Northern Ireland" seems the safest option.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.102.70.174 (talk) 13:02, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: people born in Northern Ireland ARE automatically British, and it has nothing to do with the Good friday agreement, people cannot be born without a citizenship people in NI are British citizens with the option of being Irish citizens but its not automatic its a personal choice 2A02:C7C:4098:D700:BC21:8247:33CC:20AA (talk) 21:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Nesbitt didn't actually grow up in Coleraine, from what I remember my uncle (another actor) telling me. He comes from a nearby town, and I forget the name of it. If anyone knows the town, please replace Coleraine with it. --Mal 20:09, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Look at the link I've provided.  It seems to suggest that James Nesbitt may be the next Doctor Who when David Tennant steps down.  Would this be worth including in the article?

replies: text: The rumour appears to stem from The Sun, so I've sourced that. Please remember that newspapers "know" who the next Dr Who will be every time the current one looks like quitting. This should be treated as a rumour until confirmed or denied by the BBC (albeit a notable rumour). Brad 07:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe Nesbitt is currently "starring" in 2x advertising rolls, one for Thomas Cook (in person) and another for an insurance (voice)...thing. Damn it, now I'm hearing his voice everywhere. Dat accent. Anyway, can this be added to other projects? --Somchai Sun (talk) 08:25, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I begin by stating that I am new to editing, and apologize for any faux pas. My edit attempting to (so far as I can tell) correct the birth year to 1965 (from 1970) was reverted, due to my edit summary referring to IMDB which I now know is not considered a reliable source. Every mention of James Nesbitt's birth I could find from a Google search stated that it was 1965, and the rest of this article is inconsistent with the current birth year of 1970 (eg. first sentence of Early Life section states 1965, along with a further statement that he graduated CSSD in 1987 at age 22). I now offer http://www.empireonline.com/people/james-nesbitt/ and https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3102101/stan-lee-lucky-man-sky1-james-nesbitt-sienna-guillory/ as hopefully valid sources for birth in 1965. I haven't attempted to make another edit for fear of appearing belligerent.88.145.184.145 (talk) 19:59, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you 88.145.184.145. I've restored your fix. It looks like the birth year change was made recently, on May 3rd. gobonobo + c 20:09, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
