Removed the following: "The Don was invited to do the commercials because he was a former player for the Arizona Cardinals. He starred on special teams for two seasons before a catastrophic knee injury suffered in a pre-season kick return ended his storied career." 128.171.154.49 (talk) 10:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I can find no confirmation of the sentence "Don Cheadle played four seasons as kick returner for the Houston Oilers between 1985-1989." His Internet Film Database entry (http://www.imdb.com) does not mention the fact. Further, the roster of the 1986 Houston Oilers shown at http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/rosters.nsf/Annual/1986-hou does not list him. Unless it can be verified, the sentence should be removed.

Contents 1 new pic needed 2 I added this on IMDB too 3 Acting in the Theatre 4 Middle Name 5 Please confirm that I may add an external link for Mr. Cheadle’s charity work

[edit] new pic needed

the photo of Don Cheadle is out dated and of poor quality it would inprove this page greatly if some one could get a better pic, I have had " barony rubble" with up loading pics in the past. Help please. Grosscha 19:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I added this on IMDB too

Watched "Blue Hill Avenue" twice last year. The omission of his credit for the (pivotal?) character Twinkie was evidently by his request. However, that would not be grounds for excluding this infomation from informational articles. While discussed at length on message boards, this type of omission is very seldom corrected.

[edit] Acting in the Theatre

Apparently Don Cheadle has done some theatrical acting in live plays as well. He was, at the very least, in Topdog/Underdog. Probably worth investigating, if someone has the time to dig all that information up. Bradkoch2007 (talk) 23:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Middle Name

I edited the infobox and corrected his name to Donald Frank Cheadle, as this is the name that was given in the main article. I could find no source for his previously listed middle name, Franklin, though if someone has one, please post and correct my edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.139.132 (talk) 08:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please confirm that I may add an external link for Mr. Cheadle’s charity work

Please confirm that I may add the following external link, which describes a charity event that Mr. Cheadle is participating in. Mr. Cheadle’s picture is featured on this website: http://www.charitypokertournament.net The description of this link will be: "Don Cheadle is playing in the Celebrity Poker Tournament at the Playboy Mansion on May 18, 2008."

I am not affiliated with Mr. Cheadle, or with this event. WikiMonitor3 (talk) 17:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
