a different Paul Gleason is also a noted music theater trainer and performer
I don't think this Paul Gleason was married to Joanna Gleason -- she was actually married to the other Paul Gleason who is a musical theater teacher. I took a class from both of them and this was widely known in our circle of students.

[edit] Sections and References

Date of birth needs to be checked!
[edit] Birthdate?
It says he was born in 1944 and died here recently in 2006. Yet all the news articles have his age at his death to be 67, but according to the DOB and DOD he should be 62. Either the news agencies have his age wrong, or his date of birth is incorrect. Need help finding out who is wrong.

- A few early reports did indeed say he was born in 1944, but later reports state he was indeed born on May 4, 1939, but sometimes cited it as 1944. Actors can be funny that way. (Google News his name for hundreds of links to this effect). Both articles you cite show the 1939 date.- Nhprman List 23:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Native land
I am seeing that this wiki says he was born in Jersey City, but in an article on his sad passing, he is listed as a "Miami native". Is there any way to clarify this on the wiki? RIP --Coryma 18:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trading Places
I best remember him in Trading Places as Clarence Beeks. The line I most remember him saying in that movie was "No more God damn jerky beef!" I think he also played a judge in an episode of The Drew Carey Show.
[edit] Deleted strange assertion
Some clown inserted a claim that Gleason's successors have sued 40-50 companies in LASC. I marked that as "citation needed" a month ago and just deleted it since no one has substantiated it. Any assertion regarding a lawsuit is a very serious allegation that needs to be substantiated pursuant to Wikipedia policies (verifiability, no original research, neutral point of view). --Coolcaesar (talk) 17:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Simpsons - Principal Skinner
Oh come one. Somebody has to mention that his The Breakfast Club character was obviously the inspiration for Principal Skinner in The Simpsons!!Jason404 (talk) 23:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
