[edit] PR

The article is a PR puff piece. It's taken straight from actor's sitea and the official site specifically does not grant reproduction rights. I've tagged this as a copyvio. -- Whpq 13:57, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Don't Delete. Improve. This is quite obviously an entry which is here to stay. -The Gnome (talk) 08:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I have removed uncited comments and improved the way the writing flows. Also removed fan based opinions although sounds like thy have been written by his notorious forever changing names agent (212.22.3.8 (talk) 14:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Origin

What is Tamer Hassan's heritage? I see that his father was of Indian origin, whereas I have always thought Hassan was a full-blooded Turkish Cypriot? Am I mistaken? Can this issue be cleared?

He is full blooded turk NOT indian.

Shopkur T. Hassan, Tamer Hassan's grandfather, was Indian, therefore [Tamer] Hassan cannot be a full-blooded Turk; correct me if I'm wrong, but evidence seems to suggest that his Turkic ancestry is Turkish Cypriot, not Turkish. His father, Sohail Tamradge Hassan, obviously Indian, was born in Wales. I'm trying to work out how much Indian ancestry he has (was his father's mother Indian, too?) and where the Turkish Cypriot heritage comes from (perhaps his mother, or his paternal grandmother, perhaps?).

Incidentally, the links to the Wiki entries for Hassan's father and grandfather are unnecessary. They will, most probably, never have an individual Wiki entry. -The Gnome (talk) 08:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
