Comment

I removed a reference to the band "beatfreakz" because that is a different Dennis Christopher. There is surprisingly little biographical information available on Dennis Christopher the American actor. (Danthelawyer 03:49, 29 May 2007 (UTC)danthelawyer)[reply]

Birth date

General Ization According to this page on IMDb, his birthday is December 2nd, 1955. Boomer Vial^{Holla! We gonna ball} 21:10, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Boomer Vial: Being a user-edited site, under policies here for biography of living persons IMDB is not a reliable source for birthdates. General Ization ^Talk 21:13, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

General Ization What about Fandango? Boomer Vial^{Holla! We gonna ball} 21:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Fandango is mostly a ticket-sales Web site. All of their biographical content is sourced from other sites (including IMDB), some of which may be reliable and others not (and not always identified). General Ization ^Talk 21:22, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate??

Other references note 1955, not 1950. “He was 24 during filming of ‘Breaking Away’ in 1979”, so 1955 seems factual? 2605:CB80:819:0:8DF9:8E:324F:29DB (talk) 05:57, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Former actor?

Why is Dennis considered a "former" actor? Once an actor, aren't you always an actor? Did he announce retiring from acting? If so, please cite. 96.40.230.47 (talk) 19:23, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
