[edit] Stage name

The article contained the line,

"The name "Gedde" appears to be a transcription of the name Gary to Japanese and back into Roman letters."

This doesn't make any sense. "Gary" would be written ゲリ in Japanese, which would be romanized back to "Geri". The "r" being an alveolar tap would make Gary sound somewhat like "gay-dee" or "gay-lee", but Gedde himself pronounces Gedde "ged-day". AKADriver 16:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Listed as Gay Actor??

Gay Actor? Dong??

Gay Today [gaytoday.badpuppy.com/garchive/entertain/091001en.htm] seems to agree, but it may just be a misnomer, created by his role in Booty Call. -- Zanimum 14:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
