[edit] Where's his actual career?!

I'm no expert on the man's career, but there is zero reference to his first TV appearances on the New Get Smart or gee, I dunno, the show that made him so well known ..NewsRadio?!?! A little work here please. --68.37.191.119

Didn't anyone like the previous picture of Andy as homecoming king at his high school?

[edit] No Bisexual

I'm removing Andy Dick from the Bisexual People category, this is not proven, although he is very effeminate.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg 07:27, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Google Andy Dick and bisexual and check out the first result: [1]. Crumbsucker 23:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

--- He isn't bisexual, he has experimented though.

He has talked in length about his bisexuality when being a guest on Loveline.--Twintone 14:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

---

But the following article says the he IS in fact bisexual: http://www.salon.com/ent/int/1998/09/22int.html

[edit] Dating

If he is preparing to marry, I would guess he is engaged, not simply dating... Nil Einne 18:20, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I think a better picture is needed instead of the yearbook photo. Crazy4metallica 23:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's just bizarre...--Kaz 01:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

How about a current photo? --Yancyfry jr 02:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Too Speculative?

The last two paragraphs seem too speculative for an encyclopedic entry. Does anyone else have thoughts about this?

My thoughts are that this is a really poorly written Wikipedia entry. Moncrief 13:53, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

It might be pointed out that on his sirius radio show, Jim Brewer has told the story about meeting Chris Farley and what a drug pusher or enabler Andy Dick was to him. He implicates (indirectly) Dick in Farley's overdose and expresses extreme distaste for him. I don't know if this is cited anywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.119.124.170 (talk) 20:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Birth name not Thomlinson

Thomlinson was his mother's last name. Refer to a Loveline appearance here, he states that he was adopted a week after his birth, and was not named prior.--Fallout boy 06:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Laputa voice acting?

This page doesn't seem to mention his work in Castle in the Sky? Perhaps it should. -Anthony- 06:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Made changes

deleted the hundreds after "hit his head on the bar four or five times"

[edit] david strickland

in the David Strickland article it says:

News reports of events leading up to his death, at the age of 29, suggest that he had chosen to stop taking the lithium he was prescribed to control his bipolar disorder. He spent the last three days of his life on an alcohol and drug binge with a friend, actor Andy Dick

yet it is not supported by a reference has anyone else read anything which supports this statement? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.53.88.129 (talk) 01:30, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links to Phil Hartman's death?

There have been allegations that Andy Dick reintroduced Phil Hartman's wife (sober 10 years) to cocaine, which contributed to their deaths. The most easily sourceable accounts would probably come from Jon Lovitz. I've been considering whether it merits inclusion into the article. Any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.109.144.27 (talk) 17:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
