[edit] Sean Astin

It says here Sean is his biological son, but on Sean's page, it says he isn't. What's the story here?

[edit] Oscar

For what role was he nominated?--BenWoodruff 16:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

He wasn't, actually. That needs to be reworded. He was nominated, in a sense, but not as an actor; a short film he produced, wrote, directed, and starred in, Prelude from 1968, was nominated for Best Live Action Short Subject. So the phrase "Oscar nominated actor" is thus misleading, since his nomination was for the short itself, or for his overall work as a filmmaker on that short, but not necessarily his performance in it. -- Aleal 21:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
