Appearance on the TV drama E/R

I saw him appear on an episode of E/R where his character was with his dying elderly wife. The couple had been married for many years and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to live without his wife once she died. It was a very touching segment of the program. I don't know if he was given credit in the episode or not. Maybe someone can f find out and add that to his TV appearances section.216.245.235.58 (talk) 02:13, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Succession boxes

Succession boxes should clarify, not confuse, which is what this one did. It also served little purpose. You might as well have a succession box for "Actors who have played the male lead in 'Big Love'". Unschool 03:45, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:3gene2.jpg

Image:3gene2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Chose his name out of the phone book?

That sounds suspect. And it is definitely unsourced. His real name was "Rubessa" and he chose "Rayburn" at random? Amazing that he randomly picked one so similar to his real name. Was he peeking? 72.145.146.157 (talk) 23:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

How do Rubessa and Rayburn sound the same? o.O I see your point, but I don't see how they sound similar... FamicomJL (talk) 00:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
