[edit] Removed Trivia

• also posted at Charlie Pace

I removed the speculation that Charlie is based on Naveen Andrews' life. This is neither confirmed nor pertinent, especially since the IMDB trivia page (and interviews with Mr. Monaghan I've read) indicate that the part of Charlie was part of the original show concept, but was re-written from a middle-aged fading star to a 20-something after TPTB saw Mr. Monaghan's audition. Occam's Razor would indicate to me that the character of Charlie is more based on the many other rockers who lived Charlie's lifestyle than on Naveen Andrews. In fact, as Damon Lindelof said at Lost-TV, "And the first thing we wrote for the show before there was even a script were character outlines. Like Charlie, for instance. We constructed him as a has-been musician, late 40s who'd been in a band in the '80s and then Dominic Monaghan came in and read and it was like wow! He was so amazing we changed the character and write for him (Dominic)." This pretty much kills any speculation, IMHO.Baryonyx 07:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Is he of Sri Lankan Tamil ancestry

Many assume that he is of Indian ancestry, but some have speculated that his parents are from Sri Lanka not India. Is it correct ?

AShould he be categorized in the "Indian-American" section? Is he an American citizen? 65.93.118.167 21:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added 3 categories

Added 3 categories Indian Christian, Anglo-Indians, Tamil, his parents are immigrants to Great Britian from Chennai(Madras), India and are of Anglo-Indian descent.--71.30.188.223 03:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Is he South Indian?His parents are from Kerala,so he might be Malayalee.I don't think he is Tamil.

Added another category Tamil actor--71.30.188.223 04:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I added a British Asian category to put him on that list--Kathanar 04:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

The current image of Naveen Andrews cannot be used as it can be replaced by a freer image. The fair use that covers the magazine is for the magazine only and not the subject of the magazine. (Quentin X 12:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC))

Also, the image of him in Lost can also be replaced by a freer image. It does not matter that one cannot be found, there must be one in existence. (Quentin X 18:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC))

Removed the ridiculous looking "No Free Image, Do you have one" image, as it looks ridiculous and dominates the header. Better to have none at all.

I don't see why we can't use the one from Sayid Jarrah article. ArdClose (talk) 19:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
