Talk:Matthew Broderick

message: Is this proper NPOV? "Broderick, possibly on the wrong side of the road, possibly under the influence, drove his BMW 316 head-on into another car carrying 63-year-old Margaret Doherty and her 30-year-old daughter Anna Gallagher; both women were killed."
: I removed the phrase "possibly on the wrong side of the road, possibly under the influence" from it. Cruzich 17:11, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Am I the only person who finds it strange that an actor's introductory paragraph is devoted almost entirely to a personal incident, rather than to an overview of what makes him most relevant., i.e. an overview of his acting career?
The traffic incident should have its own heading below the basic summary of who he is and why he's his own article on Wiki. Anything else is editorializing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ncalvin (talk • contribs) 05:08, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Many have asked why put anything in the "homepage" section of the actors' bio box if there is no official website?
:Why not? 2 reasons. First, it saves the user a lot of wasted time on search engines looking for one. Second, it gives the impetus for these poeple to get an official website!

Yeah, when I saw that photo it took me thirty seconds to realize who it's of.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.181.16.127 (talk) 00:36, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

message: This article omits his performance in Athol Fugard's play "Master Harikd and the Boys" which was a wonderful performance
How about his appearance in the film Wargames?  Total ommision.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broh. (talk • contribs) 00:32, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

message: First of all, there's too much shit up there to begin with. Godzilla could hardly be considered notable, and I would also reconsider Wargames, Glory, and Election.
Second, the section seems to focus exclusively on Broderick's film career. He's as much (if not more of) a stage actor as he is a film actor, and I think that his a couple of his stage roles - particularly in the Eugene trilogy and perhaps in How to Succeed in Business - should definitely be up there.
:Em, sorry, I think that Godzilla is totally notable, if only because it was the biggest box office hit he starred in. Also, I think Inspector Gadget should be mentioned.Nazroon (talk) 17:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable Roles section needs a revamp

message: I used rollback to delete all of IP 193.157.252.133 edits, not because they were all incorrect, but, at least one seemed to be, and, with no edit summary, it was hard to tell about the other. In any event, IP 193.157.252.133 was correct in that there is no film "Courtship" listed @ IMDb. However, re: "She's Having a Baby", it appears that Broderick apears as himself, not as the character Ferris: from the Allmovie site: "In addition, a who's who of other Hughes alums and Hollywood stars lend their faces and voices to a series of closing-credits shots in which each suggests a name for the titular baby.".

thread_title: Today's edits

message: In the April 27, 2009 edition of Metro (New York), he is interviewed: 
[interviewer] "OK so is anything on your Wikipedia page actually correct?
[Broderick] "Oh, or course not. They have on there that I'm that person who can heal people with their hands. What do you call them? A Reiki master?
[interviewer] "You aren't?
[Broderick] "Maybe if I tried—but I honestly don't know what it is. I appreciate the thought though."
It's hard to tell whether he's just joking. I see nothing about this in the current version and I looked back a ways and still donlt know what he could be referring to.—70.19.69.27 (talk) 12:30, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "Reiki" is a form of martial arts.  That is what he is referring to.  72.255.25.128 (talk) 23:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The article currently reads: "This was followed by a lead role as Harvey Fierstein's lover in the Off-Broadway production of Fierstein's Torch Song Trilogy"
Broderick played the lover in the film version, but in the 1981 off-Broadway production, he played the adopted son, David. This is listed correctly in the page for Torch Song Trilogy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.61.213.104 (talk) 21:38, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
