[edit] Birth place

Quite a few sources, including the IMDB and NNDB, say that Grace was born in New York City. It's certainly possible that his parents moved to Connecticut early on and he was basically raised there, which is why Darien is sometimes mentioned as his birth place. Does anyone know for sure?

[edit] NYC

Grace was born in New York City.

Thanks to the Wikipedia user who created that film chart, it's nice. and does anyone know why the photo of him that used to be here is now gone?

Someone removed the photo this week claiming its source wasn't mentioned. I tried to restore it just now, but it looks it was deleted by that user. We should get a new one, for sure. JackO'Lantern 02:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Privacy issues

Grace is always very private in interviews should mentions of where his parents work and alleged romantic relationships even be on this site? I'm taking them down.

You are correct about his relationships. They are mostly unconfirmed and should stay off. But as for his parents, etc. these are details straight from interviews with him (which are linked to). Obviously if something was OK to print in an interview, it is OK to put on this web site. JackO'Lantern 02:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eddie Brock

Topher Grace is not playing Eddie Brock, but Electro. I would change it, but don't have enough information to make acomplete re-write of what is already there. Can someone else do it?

Electro? For real? Where did you got that info?Nnfolz 20:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

It hasn't been announced yet by Raimi, Grace, or anyone else involved with the movie. It is very likely that he will play Eddie Brock, but I think it needs to be changed

OK. Anyway, i know i rather see Venom in the movie more than any other villain.Nnfolz 12:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grace is NOT playing Electro. He's playing Venom

Oh how I love unsourced material. Grace is indeed playing Eddie Brock and Venom. At this year's comic-con it was not only verified but shots of him AS Venom have been released. Here's the link: http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23949 I'm not sure how you would go about sourcing this but at least now there's undeniable proof. Levid37 09:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthday

Was Topher born July 12/1978 or July 19/1978? Both dates exist for his birthday. Hotwine8 03:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

July 12/1978 appears to be correct. See: http://imdb.com/name/nm0333410/bio —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.92.78.177 (talk) 03:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

According to That70sShow.com FAQ,[1] he was born July 19, 1978. --DOHC Holiday (talk) 19:39, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Photo

Is there a less nerdy picture of Mr. Grace available? Really, though.

[edit] Grace will not be Venom in the Venom spin-off

i heard a rumor that in the spin-off, someone else will play as venom, not Topher... although i preffer that topher plays as him... he did a good job in spidey-3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.13.224.212 (talk) 10:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

It's only a rumor so I wouldn't rust it. But there was an actor saying his charactor died in Spider-Man 3 and will be returning in 4. It is either Venom or Harry. This should be meantioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.205.26.94 (talk) 23:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes i heard that too... i bet it is Venom, because Harry's funeral happened at the end of the movie, and I realy doubt he is still alive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.244.56.199 (talk) 21:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

forget it, David Koepp isn't writing spiderman 4, James Vanderbilt is, and venom is dead...

[edit] Reverts

Sorry - messy reverts. My goof. Fixed it though! KingDaveRa 20:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Traffic

The statement: "He played a prep school student who uses cocaine and introduces his girlfriend to heroin (...)" is incorrect. In the movie Traffic his girlfriend is introduced to heroin by a drugdealer. He does itroduce her to smoking cocaine (freebase) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.7.182.15 (talk) 14:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
