Peter O'Toole film credits

O'Toole played the Director, not a war veteran turned stunt man in The Stunt Man. LennyScovel (talk) 22:01, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Peter_O%27Toole it says "a war veteran turned stunt man in The Stunt Man (1980)". That is the Steve Railsback Role in the film. Peter O'Toole played the film director Eli Cross ("The director, Eli Cross, the man in the helicopter, descends from the sky on his camera crane. He offers Cameron a job, explaining that their last stunt man just ran a car off a bridge." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stunt_Man . Lwoirhaye (talk) 14:44, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks for the catch (though in the future, it's better for edit requests to be placed on the talk page of the article that needs correcting - in this case, Talk:List of awards and nominations received by Peter O'Toole). DrOrinScrivello (talk) 00:48, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, just realized that the mistake existed in this article as well. Fixed it here too. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 00:51, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
