[edit] English or American, or even both

The article starts with "..is an English actor", then goes on to say "holds American citizenship". So which is it? British or American - I see national flags for the other co-stars of Galactica. The article could even call him British-American, that would at least be accurate and not contradictory as it stands now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.181.218.153 (talk • contribs).

I've updated the intro to say "English-American", reflecting his dual nationality. (This way it sounds like he emigrated, but in fact he still lives in London. One might say American-English, but you never hear that.) --Dhartung | Talk 06:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes but does he actually hold US citizenship? that was added two months by an unregistered user and didnt cite a source, I know he still speaks with an strong English accent in real life.Johnny 0 21:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
As the son of an American father, citizenship is automatic; he would have to specifically renounce it. See United States nationality law#Through birth abroad to one United States citizen. Anyway, I found a source.--Dhartung | Talk 09:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

surely he is American by descent not by birth - if he was born in Hammersmith.

[edit] So...

If he was born in Hammersmith, does that make him a Hammersmith Apollo?
