Says he started in film in a wes craven film in 1991. He was in casualties of war in 1989. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1012:B002:C648:AD93:45FE:B3EB:A70D (talk) 07:38, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2008 "Day of the Dead

I'm watching the 2008 "Day of the Dead" remake right now and Ving's not a cop, he's a soldier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.41.230 (talk) 19:35, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

"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

Please explain

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

Please Clarify

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]

Nothing personal. --TresRoque 23:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to remove copyright violations

I cleaned up Ving Rhames#Death of caretaker at Rhames' residence mainly to remove several copyright 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 | Talk 20:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality issues

I have added the {{POV}} template to this article. The reason is that it seems to me to give undue 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 on biographies of living persons - specifically, that they should not defame the subject or portray them unfairly - I am considering removing this section entirely.

Notable roles

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.

Groundkeeper killed

"Dogs Kill Worker At Ving Rhames' Home"

Google around, see all these sources? Why is this not mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.54.123.15 (talk) 23:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free image

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 the non-free content criteria. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 03:27, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sacha Jenkins

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]
