What is meant by "Chris Barrie is thought to have been the only member of the Red Dwarf cast to be 'legit' (or a real actor) by original Kryten actor, David Ross."? That sentence is rather confusing. Was Chris Barrie the only actor in RD cast by Ross? Dysprosia 11:19, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)

The original wording (from the edit history) is Chris Barie is thought to have been the only 'legit' member (or legitimate actor) among the Red Dwarf cast by original Kryten actor, David Ross! - which I take to mean that Chris Barrie was the only member to the Red Dwarf cast who David Ross considered to be a 'real actor'.
Why it should matter what Ross thinks, I have no idea. —Paul A 00:33, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

It's mentioned in the audio commentary for one of the DVD's. I personally think it's quite amusing that Chris Barrie is the only actor that he thought was professional, compared to the others. Although maybe this little titbit would be best placed in the main Red Dwarf article? - Ferretgames 12:23, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

the 'legit' story is told on *many* of the commentaries. However, being mentioned many times on DVDs still doesn't really mean it's worth mentioning on this page -Dave

Actually, that's exactly what that means. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 03:16, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources?

A lot of this is unsourced material. It might be best to label it as such. Jonathan D Milne 19:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Frankie Goes to Hollywood, etc.

Besides doing the Reagan and Prince Charles voices on the FGTH records, Barrie also appears - bizarrely - as Jim Callaghan on the Art of Noise track "Close-Up" (a mutated 12" version of "Close (to the Edit)"). As this is basically the same production team who did the FGTH records, this was probably recorded in the same session(s). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.224.193 (talk) 13:32, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
