[edit] Statistics

Is the size of his penis "encyclopedic"? At a minimum I'm adding that it needs a citation. Nate 02:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so either, I'm going to remove it. Sam Burke 20:23, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I've changed to biography template to a more suitable actor one if that is ok. I also removed a link to adult content as I don’t think its appropriate for an encyclopaedia, even if he has starred in pornographic films. Sam Burke 20:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Acting Skill

i think that they should not kick rex out because he is a funny person and his acting skills are good, they are stupids.... he should not be 'bullied' just for his past. u get me!!

now when you say his acting skills are "good," are you comparing them to that of a piece of driftwood?

[edit] The picture

I haven't seen the picture and am more interested in his contribution to standard entertainment and also I linked here via a Jewish website on Wikipedia as he's listed there as a Jewish Actor, which is in one way proof (possibly) that he is indeed Jewish, although I normally wouldn't expect one to demonstrate that so transparently. I am interested however that as a Jewish person what acting he had done in a purely cultural context that would demonstrate that he was in fact a 'Jewish Actor' or is it really that he is a an actor who just happens to be Jewish ? From a cultural perspective he probably has had roles that have had him call on his experience as a Jew to play a role that most audiences wouldn't fully appreciate or comprehend, but I think at times his sense of humour is achetypically that of suburban Jewry of shtetylim styling with a enquiring wit that could border on almost talmudic proportions. It's just a side thought anyway ..............

Hmm... it's nice I'll admit, but is it appropriate for the site?

I think it's just a little bit to revealing for an encyclopedia article... i don't have a problem with it personally, but I could quite well imagine that others would. Spheroide 18:56, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

After reading some more articles on what Wikipedia is and what not, I changed my thoughts on this image. Since the topic *is* on a (former) porn star, why not show the subject of the article in the way he became famous. Ok picture for me now!i love his penis and ass Spheroide 21:10, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree--LooseTheHotButtonS 16:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't be opposed to the picture if he were still a porn star, but he isn't. A lot of threads link here, especially recent (legit) films he has been in. --Fallout boy 12:57, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

I have to say, I agree with fallout boy. People linking from sites for legit films or television series should not have to see the pic, no matter how hot it is :p. -- Daydream believer2 13:00, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

I don't see what's wrong with it, it's not really a pornographic image. True that he isn't now a porn star, but that's how he started his career and he's still quite famous for it. Anyone who is offended by nudity would be rather foolish to click on a link labelled "warning: nudity", would they not? Cadr 22:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Anyone got HQ video of his cock?

[edit] IMDB as bio source

Anybody can write a bio for imdb, can't they? The adult film claim needs a more reliable source. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 23:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I returned some of the information about his adult past. I left out the "gay audience" segment, since IMDb is not a reliable source for that. However - just as with his other roles which are listed on the page without a source - the porn films are a matter of fact. Daydream believer2 06:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

He still belongs in the "Male Porn Star" category as well. It doesn't matter if he no longer performs in these. The DVDs are still selling and he is still a star in this industry. All you have to do is a google search on images and you will get images of him masturbating. Doc ♬ talk 15:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

You have to put the references in the article. Saying "use Google" isn't good enough. Check WP:BIO and WP:BLP. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 19:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
