[edit] Easy Rider commentary

I find the third to last paragraph of this article, where the editor interprets Easy Rider at length, to be in the nature of commentary and neither biographical nor encyclopedic. It is too specific to that film to be appropriate to this actor's biographical article, and belongs, in my opinion, in the talk page for Easy Rider. Swinterich 03:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

"committed suicide in 1950 when Peter was 11 years old" - it states he was born in 1940, so there's no way he could have been 11 by 1950. (clem 16:15, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC))

Where is that quote from? His birth year was corrected from 1939 to 1940 recently, after checking his autobiography and 1940 tabloids. I'm not sure how the 1939 date came up, but I doubt this is a case of age-fudging. --Fallout boy 07:52, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gram Parsons ?

There are seven mentions of singer-songwriter Gram Parsons in this brief article. There were perhaps two mentions that I found in Fonda's autobiography, and I was looking for them. True or not, this is excessive for an encyclopedic article. I am skeptical of a previous editor's claim that Fonda chose Parsons, who had little or no acting experience, as the lead actor for Easy Rider, and "begged" Parsons to take the role of Captain America. Huh? What is the source for this? It's not Fonda's autobiography. Also, the "while it has never been uncommon..." language or comparisons between the shallowness of actors as opposed to rock musicians is POV. Who agrees? Disagrees?

[edit] What the heck is this saying??

I found this in the final paragraph of the article, I have no idea what part of this is supposed to be saying. Hopefully, someone can clue me in.

Here is the paragraph I am referring to:

"He also lent his voice talent to the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as the hippie, The Truth. The Truth owns a jar of green goo, which gives him a lot of power; in his mind."

Is this some kind of vandalism?

After thinking about this more, I am going to take it out. Even if that means something to someone I'm sure the average person reading the article would have no idea what "the jar of green goo" was referring to or how it had anything to do with this article.
