[edit] PR

This article reads like his PR agent wrote it.

[edit] Buffy

I don't know if it's worth noting, but in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (7x08, Sleeper), the character Xander is awoken early in the morning and says, "OK, OK, I'm coming. I'm up. It's 4:30 in the morning. Sweet Mamaloshen. (through door) Who is it?" This the only time I've heard of it. --Gero 19:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relation to Sheldon

Is Mandy any relation to Sheldon Patinkin of Second City fame?--Twintone 17:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

What happened to the trivia section? It seems it was sneakily deleted by a user named Tell-Tale Ghost with no explanation whatsoever. Is there a reason for this? If not, someone should put it back.

Likely as per WP:TRIVIA. Sigz (talk) 04:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Singing Voice?

The lead-in says refers to him as a "renowned tenor". Personally I find his singing voice grating, lacking in power and generally terrible -- are there any references for "renowned"? --ukexpat 20:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

webster's equates "renowned" with "fame" -- having nearly nothing whatever to do with a voice being grating, powerless, or terrible; and tenor can be an objective measurement. Fecklessthug 01:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heritage

What region of Europe did his ancestors come from? Badagnani (talk) 06:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
