hello.. I hope I'm following the instruction properly. I read that I should post here if I'd like a link to my website added to the Sean Astin area.

I run SANET, the largest Sean Astin site on the Internet. It contains a gallery of over 13000 pictures of Sean from his youngest days to his most current appearances. It is always kept up to date, with Sean's most current appearances and projects.

Feel free to visit: http://www.sean-astin.net

Thank you for considering my site to be linked from Sean's area on Wikipedia.

[edit] Sean's biological father

"although his biological father is Michael Tell, a music promoter of Jewish heritage"

Is there a cite for this? Just yesterday I was reading Patty Duke's book "A Brilliant Madness" in which she says that she was pregnant with Sean as a result of an affair with John Astin *before* she married Michael. That's why they got married - because she was freaked out about being unmarried and pregnant. She later goes on to say that the 13-day marriage was never consummated. Unless someone has a cite where Sean or his mother say that Michael was the father, I think this line should be eliminated. 66.251.84.28 19:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

It cited a Sean Astin Q&A where he said, "My biological father is Jewish and I never really knew him until I was 25 [...]". I've updated it to cite a Guardian interview instead, which specifically names Michael Tell. --Mrwojo 00:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roman Catholic Entertainer?

Wouldn't he fit with that? I mean, his biological father was Jewish, however, his mother who raised him was Irish Roman Catholic. I'm just curious, and a bit confused as well. IronCrow 04:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Fixed that. According to Halakha (Jewish law), he is emphatically not Jewish. It does not matter whether his biological father was Jewish, since the status of being a Jew is passed on through the mother or gained through conversion.

[edit] (year - year)

The reason I remove the (year - year) is it gets somewhat confusing. It may means the year they born and the year they died; it may also means the years active. Wikipedian 13:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Las Vegas Appearance

It is a minor spot, but he plaid a man on the NBC show Las Vegas. I can't remember exactly what was his story, but in one scene he was intoxicated and had taken some ED Medication when the main characters busted into his room. Again, minor, but he was there.--Ambartur 19:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
