[edit] upcoming projects

in the main article it says ---'Payne will next direct the upcoming film Nebraska and serve as an executive producer on the new films The King of California and The Savages' but in the upcoming project it says --'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007) ' which is it?

A paragraph that was located above contained an unsourced, unsigned and potentially libellous accusation regarding a living person (specifically Alexander Payne). Although it is generally bad form to remove other people's comments from talk pages, under the policy of WP:BLP, we are allowed to remove potentially libellous, unsourced comments from articles and talk pages at any time.

[edit] false name usage

Mr. Payne's grandfather changed his name. Alexander Payne does not have Payne as a stage name and Papadopoulos as legal, given or used name in any way. To include papadopoulois as the family name from 100 years ago is somewhat relevent but to cite it as his name is false.

It is incorrect to reverse attribute a name the man does not use. I have seen on many many articles on Greek Amerians a false naming convention. A couple of editors here seem to be doing this, and just back checking their additions see it on well over 100 entries!

I have just looked as Spiro Agnew's page here it it was changed at one point and now makes the 100% false statement: "Spiro Agnew was born Spiros Anagnostopoulos." His fahter changed his name, and he was born Agnew!71.252.110.244 18:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories in Article

Renamed "Career" section to "Career & Rewards" to better reflect the content. These should probably be broken out into separate sections though as this bio is expanded. DirectRevelation 20:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)DirectRevelation

[edit] Esquivel Biopic

He was considering making an Esquivel Biopic starring John Leguizamo, what the hell happened? Amirman (talk) 20:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
