[edit] Regulator Guy

I've added info about this character from memory, having watched Late Night practically since the beginning, and believe it to be accurate. Nonetheless, please correct any wrong information I may have posted. Rex Dart 07:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)Rex Dart

Actually, I'm pretty sure that the Regulator Guy was more a parody of the Terminator than of Mad Max, although there may well have been a Mad Max influence. For one thing, Chris definitely used a Schwarzenegger-like accent when playing the part.

I'm looking for the videos online, but so far I'm having no luck. PMaranci 16:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Appearance at Alamo

He was at the Alamo drafthouse this month talking about his latest movie. Worth mentioning?

[edit] Miami Vice actor?

Chris is categorized under Miami Vice actors, but the article doesn't mention Miami Vice at all. What gives?

[edit] Boilerplate

Could someone expand upon this a bit? I read the novel, found it hilarious, but it never dawned on me that Boilerplate could even be real, given the general ludicrosity of the entire novel (one scene features Teddy Roosevelt being correctly identified over his doppelganger by his genital piercing, for example). Having never heard of Boilerplate myself, it seemed like something Elliott would've made up. Is the issue, then, that Elliott essentially used someone else's idea thinking it was fact? And what is the deal with the "financial settlement?" How much money did the Boilerplate people have to give Elliott? If you're going to try and perpetrate a hoax, you'd better be willing to deal with the consequences... Wencer 17:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Letterman appearances

I added some memorable guest appearances on Letterman. Letterman seems to book him whenever he needs a guest in a pinch and knowing Elliott will always come through.Editingfiend 07:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Editingfiend 07:22, 27 May 2007 (UTC)==Personal== IMDB says he has a wife and 2 kids. Verifiable?

[edit] Australian guy

I removed two prominent references to a different Australian actor. He should have his own article, Christopher Elliott (which does not currently exist)
