Surely the Last Picture Show was his first starring role?

Fearless is widely considered as one of the most underrated films of the 1990s. That's an oxymoron. Zafiroblue05 19:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Not an oxymoron, but certainly a contradictory sentence.Kp.murphy (talk) 15:56, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

The first paragraph reads like ad copy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.89.32.23 (talk) 06:46, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Lutheranism?

Could anyone please add a source for this connection and why he's in the "Lutheran" category? It's not that it's implausible, just that there's no mention of it anywhere within the page.Kisaoda 07:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Beau Bridges

Seriously,who was stupid enough to put Beau's picture on brother Jeff's Article.Sugreev2001 (talk) 20:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Other work

Bridges was also in a movie called In Search of America. Link directed by Paul Bogart in 1971. I tried to add it to the list of movies, but my knowledge of coding/editing is lackluster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.238.148.42 (talk) 17:30, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

"In his off time while on set, he has opened up a serious business with technology." what the heck does this mean? Kansaikiwi (talk) 16:09, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

"In his off time while on set, he has opened up a serious business with technology." Isn't it about time Wikipedia opened up a serious business with standard English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.6.85 (talk) 03:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

time between first nomination and finally getting an Oscar

Jeff Bridges was first nominated in 1971. It took the Academy a mere 38 years to honor his work with an Oscar. This has got to be one of the longest periods of, shall we say, "artistic foreplay" in Oscar history. Is it? If not, who holds the dubious record? It might be worth checking on this and adding it to the article. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 12:28, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

"It's A Goddamn Jeff Bridges Christmas"

What's this reference on his filmography? Some Googling to try to dig up more info turned up absolutely nothing outside of this Wiki article. Can someone review this? It may be original research, or simple hijacking. --12.23.189.2 (talk) 17:56, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

better Picture?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdelriccio/4436888452/ better picture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.13.151.136 (talk) 20:36, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree a better picture would be in order. Jokem (talk) 23:30, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Musician

• Jeffrey Leon "Jeff" Bridges (born December 4, 1949) is an American actor and musician. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Otis "Bad" Blake in the 2009 movie Crazy Heart.
• Bridges is also a musician, a photographer, and an occasional vintner and a storyteller. ...

The subject has many hobbies. However none of his notability comes from being a musician. According to the article, he's sung some songs in public or on celebrity sing-alongs, and played a set with Neil Young. I wouldn't delete any of that, but I think that it's incorrect to say that he is notable as an actor and a musician. Therefore I'm going to delete that first reference but leave the second.   Will Beback  talk  19:29, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

{Ref improve|date=June 2011}

The sourcing and citations on this article are abysmal. This is a biography of a living person and he deserves much better then this. I'm sure loads of well-meaning people worked very hard on this but if it isn't sourced, it didn't happen. Veriss (talk) 06:46, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

This is true. But I have one thing to mention. I've never seen references in the filmography sections, except for upcoming projects, which there is a few in this case. How would you go about this? EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 14:30, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I untagged the filmography section since if the rest of the article is properly sourced it probably does not need to be cited in most instances. The rest of the article needs citations though. Veriss (talk) 00:06, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Debut album "Be Here Soon"??

Why isn't his debut album "be here soon" (released in 2000) mentioned in the "discography" section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.148.225.178 (talk) 05:33, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Well-Known Films

Come on, in the list of well-known films, you omitted "Blown Away". Are you kidding me? That is one of my favorite Tommy Lee Jones movies, and SURELY one of Jeff Bridges' best movies as well! Another one of my favorites is "Arlington Road" but I know it's not one of his most "well-known". It was, however, filmed in my neighborhood in Pearland, TX opposite Tim Robbins and it was GREAT. A very dark movie, definitely underrated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.111.108.213 (talk) 13:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
