Do you get paid for this?

[edit] Clean-up

I'm going to start clean-up on this page this week.

Factual information is needed, but the teenage rumor mill has got to go; the guy's 26, not 13.

There doesn't appear to be an "official" website--unless someone has some information.

PLEASE list any prospective changes HERE and WITH TIME for a response, BEFORE making the change!!!

The citation listed has 7 days to reference its source or be labeled as a rumor; dating is not a biographical fact anyway.

[edit] Height

The height of 5'8" listed in the bio box is from Savage's late teens--so if anyome has any VERIFIABLE information as to his present height...please list a source here.

[edit] Palo Alto views

The on-set shots for Palo Alto pretty much verify Savage to be in the 5'8" to 5'10" range.

[edit] Ovation award

Regarding the Ovation Award, I am looking into whether this was just a nomination or an actual win, as is reported elsewhere, but not a part of the official records that I can find.

• Nomination - "Best Actor" (Unexpected Tenderness / Marilyn Monroe Theatre) - Ovation Award, (1998).
• The Marilyn Monroe Theatre

[edit] Item disputed

This item, in spite of what is said on the Marilyn Monroe Theatre website, is disputed by the award sponsors:

"And the research goes on.......

Our membership coordinator Peter Kuo found the following information:

In the History of the Theatre LA/LA Stage Alliance Ovation Awards Ben Savage has not been nominated. Nor has a show called "Unexpected Tenderness."

Listed in his (IMDB) Internet Movie Database there is a section that states "In 1998, he won an Ovation Award for Best Actor for his part in the play 'Unexpected Tenderness.' "

See below: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005399/bio

1998 Ovation Award Winner for Lead Actor in a Play was Tony Abatemarco in the production of "The Mystery of Irma Vep."

Hope this gives you all the info you need.

[edit] No homepage...

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!

'Nuff said?

[edit] Jewish American actors

I have taken him out of the category "Jewish American actors" as there is no source stating that he is Jewish and as we have been told in OTRS ticket otrs:891563 that this is a factual error. Re-insert it, if you can source it. --Mbimmler 08:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

This said, the article would anyway benefit from a few sources... --Mbimmler 08:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
