[edit] Hahaha

Often when I read a bio article that seems a little too complimentary, I joke that it was written by his PR guy (and then remove the POV). In this case, it looks like Jake himself tried to pump himself up in case any casting directors use Wikipedia as their main source for talent mining: [1] I suppose you could say he's made a name for himself, in the sense that he literally wrote his own name out in this article. But when your main credits are Starship Troopers and Shasta McNasty, you're gonna need a legit reference to back up your claim of name-making. Just keep that in mind for future edits, Jake. --Savethemooses (talk) 06:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Funny, I was just telling myself the exact same thing. The killer sentence is "as of 2007 he has 46 feature films under his belt". Clearly, he wrote his own bio page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.46.116.252 (talk) 04:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Untitled Incorrect Comment

It is my belief that I went to high school with "Jake". If that is the case, his real name is Dustin Kilborne and he is no relation to Gary Busey. He was born in 1969 not 1971. In high school Dustin drove us around in a car he called the Batmobile. He was always the shortest guy in school and last to be picked for any teams. I don't want to post this to the main article without documentation since my eye witness account doesn't count as documentation. Does anyone have access to any acceptable sources to document this so it can be added to the article? ElBrazoOnofre (talk) 12:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

  • That seems a bit of a stretch, especially considering he looks just like Gary. Vorenus (talk) 05:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • That's inaccurate ElBrazoOnofre. Judy Helkenberg is his mom and Gary Busey is his dad. He was born in 1971 and he's 6'3" per IMDB 198.6.46.11 (talk) 18:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shasta McNasty?

No mention of it in the article. I liked that show. 198.6.46.11 (talk) 18:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
