[edit] Physical Aspects of Role
While overall this is a decent page, I disagree with the focus that is placed on how much intimacy he had to carry on with his fellow actors during Oz. We certainly don't make a big deal out of heterosexual intimacy in films and television. Clearly Meloni is alright with it, why shouldn't we be? It seems the emphasis is less on his achievements as an actor and more of his high tolerance for homosexuals. Couldn't it merely be stated that his open acceptance of the gay community has earned him a following, and leave it at that? Megan 06:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
On a related note, I think the article should include a brief note about the stark contrasts between the characters of Chris Keller and Elliot Stabler. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 13:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
there has to be a more tasteful picture —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.6.144.241 (talk) 12:10, 17 March 2007 (UTC).
- At the moment this is the only free image that can be found for this article. The Stabler picture can only be used on the Stabler page. (Quentin X 07:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC))
- Since when a picture of two men kissing distasteful? --Kvasir 08:24, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- The picture of Chris Keller from Oz is not only a picture of the back of his head, which does not represent him, but he no longer plays that character. It is more appropriate to show him from SVU. -Mike Payne 20:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'll try finding a decent free image.--CyberGhostface 20:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- There is a picture that Quentin removed from the page, thinking it does not apply under the fair use rationale. If you go into the page history, you'll find it. Michael 20:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fairly sure he's referring to "Elliot stabler.jpg" -Mike Payne 20:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, thats fair use so it can't be used in an article where a free image can be found such as for real people. I found a personal photo of him at Flickr that someone took. I sent a message asking if he would release the rights to us.--CyberGhostface 21:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
