[edit] Cleanup

The filmography needs to be wiki-fied, and TV appearances titles need to be linked to their articles.

[edit] Christianity

I re-added the 'christian actor' link; he's still a Christian as far as I can acertain...

• A casual browse of YouTube seems to confirm this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.166.186 (talk) 16:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Buseyisms"

The "Buseyisms" should not be accredited as his. Those listed in the article are commonly used in AA meetings and the such. - Anonymous

The "RELATIONSHIP" backronym was used by Ben Stiller in the last episode of Undeclared. Are you sure it's Gary Busey's? Skittlesjc 12:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

someone needs to clean this up. the BIBLE one is for sure not coined by him. ridiculous.69.151.207.193

[edit] Current picture?

I don't suppose we can find a more recent picture of Gary Busey for the article? Is he just generally better known for his work in the 70s than I realize, or what?--Raguleader 08:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know but they need a current pic. --Pumpkin Pie 02:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, something from at LEAST 1995 would be nice. I feel like I'm looking at grunge rocker. Ghostalker 06:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Teaching karate to ghosts"

I removed what appears to be a prank edit.--Raguleader 06:32, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gary Busey's Alter Ego John Force

"Busey stars as his alter ego John Force in A&E's Driving Force"

I removed that from the article because I'm 100% sure that's a prank. Funny, but a prank nonetheless. ICTimer 04:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

I have a feeling that the trivia section may be false. Someone might want to check that out. Vinnocent 00:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brain Damage

The personal life section states "Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. His skull was fractured and doctors feared he suffered permanent brain damage.[3]"

The linked article makes no suggestion that Busey may have suffered permanent brain damage in the crash, it is about his advocacy of wearing a helmet when cycling, skating or riding a motorbike following his recovery from a brain injury. I'm not saying it isn;t true, just that the link doesn't support the statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.56.118.95 (talk) 22:49, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Saints Row 2

Gary has been doing a lot of work for Saints Row 2 coming out in Aug of 2008. Ironically this game takes place in Stillwater. I'm not sure if that should be added here or not http://www.gametrailers.com/game/4813.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.40.146.112 (talk) 20:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Raped?

seriously, who did this?

Busey also drew a lot of media attention when he raped an eleven year old girl serving as a correspondent for the website StarzLife.com at an after-party event. The girl asked Busey if he had advice for young celebrities getting in trouble with the law. Busey heard her question and demanded that she suck up and repeat herself a few times. The girl became nervous. Once Busey understood, he raped several other actors that do not live up to his high standards of behavior. At the end, the young girl requested that Busey give a “shout-out” to the site and say hello to the camera. Busey refused, calling shout-outs “stupid,” before he grabbed the camera lens, deflected it towards the ground, and walked off.[9] ...yueyouko (talk) 06:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
