Is it really necessary to have a separate entry for a fictional character in a movie? Sixtus LXVI 04:31, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

This sure seems like a lot of verbiage for a minor fictional character.

I agree, plus some of this info is wrong -- Dirk was discovered in the San Fernando Valley, not San Francisco. -- Zoe

Well, I corrected what Zoe commented on but didn't change. The article originally said Diggler, whose real name is Eddie but whose last name was never revealed, was discovered in San Francisco as a teen by porn movie producer Jack Horner.. No, he was Eddie Adams, Jack calls him by name. And yes, he was discovered in the San Fernando Valley. It would be MIGHTY hard for him to commute to his job from his home in Torrance every day by bus if he worked in San Francisco -- that's about 400 miles one way. RickK 03:10, 21 Oct 2003 (UTC)

These are just some of the corrections that need to be made:

  • Diggler's face was never on Time Magazine.
  • He had an active sex life off-camera? There's no evidence in the film pointing to this.
  • "But along with his money and fame came a dark side:" I'm sorry, this sentence just sounds stupid.
  • His failed musical career wasn't during the late 70s, it was during the early 80s.

Plainly put, this article is poorly researched, amaturely written and has no real significance. It either needs to be rewritten or deleted. Pele Merengue 21:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect?

Why is there a redirect for Eddie Adams (actor)? There really is an actor out there named Eddie Adams: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1022481/ - it's making articles that refer to him (and should be a red link since there's no article on him yet) come here....plange 22:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
