Says he started in film in a wes craven film in 1991. He was in casualties of war in 1989.— Precedingunsigned comment added by2600:1012:B002:C648:AD93:45FE:B3EB:A70D (talk)07:38, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm watching the 2008 "Day of the Dead" remake right now and Ving's not a cop, he's a soldier.— Precedingunsigned comment added by188.29.41.230 (talk)19:35, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Rhames was born in New York City, New York to Reatha and Ernest Rhames."

Wheres the evidence for this?

Vhing Rhames is not the actual actor from Rockstars Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The Games manual has a cast list of who voiced who. Therefore that info is useless

Oddly enough, it has recently been reported that Ving Rhames and Micheal Clarke Duncan are in fact clones of one large black man

This reads like a press release from his agent. Please 'bio' it up objectively.

What, specifically are those 'spiritual beliefs' mentioned? Buddhist? Christian? Zoroastrian? Scientologist?

There's also no need to include POV adjectives such as 'talented'. A record of his work and achievements is enough.

Lastly, do we really need wiki entries with expressions like 'the work came rolling in'? [sic]

I cleaned upVing Rhames#Death of caretaker at Rhames' residence mainly to remove severalcopyright violations. The first paragraph was originally lifted straight from the msnbc.com article I added as the source. Additional edits are probably needed to cite the LA Times article directly (if it's available) and provide updates. I also pruned the section since its length and detail seemed out of proportion to the rest of the article.Flowanda |Talk20:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the{{POV}} template to this article. The reason is that it seems to me to giveundue weight to a single incident in Rhames' life - the death of a caretaker at his home - when surely what actually makes him notable is his career as an actor. I don't honestly see the relevance of the 'Death of caretaker at Rhames' residence' section at all - there's nothing in it that explains why those events are notable or worth including. It seems to me an attempt to incriminate Rhames by implying he was somehow responsible for the man's death, which it is clear he was not (and has not had any charges filed against him). Due to the importance of Wikipedia's rules onbiographies of living persons - specifically, that they should not defame the subject or portray them unfairly - I am considering removing this section entirely.Terraxos (talk)01:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest adding to the 1st sentence something like this:
Some of his noteble roles include Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction (1994), Luther Stickell in Brian de Palma's Mission: Impossible (1996), and Don King in HBO's Don King: Only in America.

"Dogs Kill Worker At Ving Rhames' Home"

Google around, see all these sources? Why is this not mentioned?—Precedingunsigned comment added by68.54.123.15 (talk)23:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is a non-free image being used to illustrate Rhames in this article? Since Rhames is still alive and the particular image is not iconic, this goes against thenon-free content criteria.rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs03:27, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sacha Jenkins, referenced in footnote 10, is referred to as female. According to Amazon's listing for Jenkins' referenced book, the author is male.75.171.10.211 (talk)08:06, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
