someone needs to edit the main section (the first one) (i cant seem to do it)

Red Dragon was a PREQUEL to silence of the lambs not a sequel

Other work: composing a waltz

As shown on German television Hopkins composed a waltz 50 years ago that had its world premiere on Oct. 1, 2011 in Vienna with conductor André Rieu. Hopkins was present at the premiere in Vienna. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.4.46.100 (talk) 13:12, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

plagarism on page

The passage below written on the wikipedia page about hopkins is directly lifted from the news article that the passage cites. The passage, however, is not attributed in quotes as something of that length should be if it is taken verbatim from another source. I recommend either inserting quotation marks or editing the passage so that it is original material.

Renowned for his ability to remember lines, Hopkins keeps his memory supple by learning things by heart such as poetry, and Shakespeare. In Steven Spielberg's Amistad, Hopkins astounded the crew with his memorisation of a seven-page courtroom speech, delivering it in one go. An overawed Spielberg couldn't bring himself to call him Tony, and insisted on addressing him as Sir Anthony throughout the shoot.[10]Rmendenhall (talk) 18:42, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Expatriate actors in the United States

Why does this category contain Canadian and Australian actors, but no Brits such as Hopkins? Is it because, having acquired US citizenship, he is no longer considered an expatriate, even though he retains UK citizenship? But there must be hundreds of other British actors who never took out US citizenship but still spent the greater part of their lives in Hollywood. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 02:23, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welsh

Just confirming this as an IP seems intent on edit warring over it. I have seen the archives but this is an attempt to discuss with the IP.
