Question

What does Bomb design ( Zero Influnce ) mean ???

Is it worth noting that on one of the Star Wars 'making of' documentaries, when asked what direction he recieved from George Lucas, he immediately switches into Lucas' slightly nasal voice and says "Hey Peter, could you try and be a little bit evil sounding"...

Voice overs

It is also worth noting that he got the job of dubbing Ray Park because Ray Park has got a really daft sounding voice and apart from his obvious physical prowess as a performer, can't act for toffee? Bigpinkthing 14:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible picture

Sorry, but it is. Anyone know photoshop or something can lighten it up a bit?--Anchoress 10:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gelg redirects here, but I don't know why. Can someone add an explanation to the article? -- BenRG 23:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See his IMDB page. --Davidstrauss 10:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've just added a sentence to the article mentioning this. -- Muntfish 12:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Education Contradiction

I don't know "the truth" but wanted to point out that in the Early Life section there is reference to 2 schools attended but in the Personal Life section it mentions Peter's Bluecoat School uniform - did he attend the Bluecoat? Boongie (talk) 23:19, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, James did, same year as me (91-98, and was in Blundell house Ktetch (talk) 21:52, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Snake 'N' Bacon Narration

I haven't seen the credit, but I'm almost certain Peter narrated a sketch on Snake 'n' Bacon called [Toad to Perdition].NiX0n (talk) 17:14, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You Have Been Watching

He was also in at least two episodes of You Have Been Watching which was a really good Charlie Brooker show. It had two series from 2010 ish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.170.122 (talk) 03:55, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Darth Maul in first paragraph?

The opening paragraph to the article is currently:

Peter Szymon Serafinowicz (/sɛrəˈfɪnəwɪtʃ/; born 10 July 1972) is an English actor, comedian, writer, voice artist and director. He is best known for dubbing the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and for appearing in a variety of British and American comedy shows.

I disagree that Darth Maul should be given such prominence. I think this is a minor part of his career, compared to his comedy work. Especially as it was just his voice used for Darth Maul, not his bodily performance. Stuart mcmillen (talk) 00:26, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Ceoil (talk) 17:41, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Grandfather

Do we really need all this stuff about the prosecution of his grandfather for war crimes? PS wasn't the one being prosecuted and none of us can choose our parents or grandparents. The whole section is badly written and a classic example of WP:COATRACK by someone with an axe to grind. --Ef80 (talk) 15:21, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously... if Szymon is noteworthy for allegedly committing war crimes he should get his own page. At the very least it shouldn't constitute 95% of the personal life section here. Halfspin (talk) 09:35, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Coatracking reverted. --Ef80 (talk) 17:08, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree he is not responsible for the action of his grandfather three decades before he was born. He is, however, responsible for his attempts to use the HRA to suppress reporting of it. I have reduced my account of it to the minimal and linked to a more fulsome Wiki piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caithness (talk • contribs) 02:33, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peter shouldn't have tried to use the HRA to suppress the newspapers then. 2A0A:EF40:387:5F01:812A:F921:BCAF:EE59 (talk) 11:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship with Sarah Alexander

Currently says that he met Sarah around 2002. Evidence for that? They were in a Comic Relief sketch together in 2001, and were both on Smack the Pony years earlier. In addition, there is no suggestion in the references that Sarah left Harper for Peter. Whatever the actual truth, it says Sarah broke up with Harper and then later started dating Peter, having been friends with him for a while. There's no need to make things more dramatic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:ED0:4365:CD00:9404:E452:1205:6E (talk) 16:24, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
