[edit] Possible Additions

1. A section devoted to his stage career (separated from the main acting subsection)
2. Improved filmography (with subsections for TV, Stage and Musical)

[edit] Details in Dispute

1. Date of Birth. Was Bruce born on November 22, 1960 as most sources quote, or was he born on May 20, 1961 as quoted on http://lmscully1.tripod.com/brucepayne/id1.html. Will assume Nov 22, 1960 unless there is evidence otherwise.
2. How many awards did he receive? while at RADA. He received 7.
3. What awards he has otherwise recieved (or been nominated for)?
4. In what year did Bruce undergo surgery for spina bifida? Some quotes give the age of 14, and some seem to give the age of 16. Unless there is evidence otherwise, we'll say he was diagnosed at 14, and underwent surgery at 16.
5. How did Bruce come to be learning at Shepperton Studios?... Did he sign up as an "extra" (as I think the official website biography states) or did he, as most other biographies state (in some way or another), just get in by "Putting his nascent acting talent to practical use, he would bluff his way into several film studios simply by looking confident and blending in."?
6. Is there any information available regarding his time occupied with the Edinburgh Fringe Festival?
