There is a request, submitted by Black BIC Ballpoint (talk), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

The rationale behind the request is: "Earl Holliman is a distinguished actor and animal rights activist who for over 50 years has had a significant contribution to the art of American films and television. In honor of his 90th birthday this upcoming September 11, I feel it would be the most rewarding of birthday gifts for him to receive the honor of having a spoken version of his Wikipedia page composed.".

Confusion Section

i have removed this section twice already but once sole editor, Musclebug, seems intent on readding this section back. this "confusion" wiht another actor is nothing more than a screwup on a few movie databases which should not be mentioned in this article nor on the other guys article either. Far as I can tell, no third-party source has ever touched on this "confusion" nor made an issue of it. are we reporting internet screwups now? 24.72.176.240 (talk) 22:26, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This confusion is a gross error from many parties such that it borders on being a misconception or a fallacy. Wikipedia was one of the parties until I corrected the error. This confusion predates Wikipedia and is not limited to the web so it is not just a screup from a few movie databases or an Internet screwup. Wikipedia does report on misconceptions. The third party sources have been Earl Holliman and Anthony Earl Numkena both of whom met a few years ago because the confusion long after Destination Gobi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musclebug (talk • contribs) 17:47, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ok...so? if you fixed the error, it's done so why continue going on about it? The onyl one perpetuating this misconception is you. there are no posts here about this supposed confusion here so I'll go out on a limb and say this is not as big of a misconception as you're making it out to be. The only mention of this mistake is on Anthony Earl Numkena imdb board in a post made in 2006 [1]! hell, it's not eveon on the trivia sections on either dude's listing there!! like I said on your talk page, you should work on correcting this mistake on the databases that have it instead of trying to document it here for some weird reason. the fact that you cannot provide a reliable source outside a few internet databases that documents this "misconception" further supports keeping it out of the article. 18:31, 4 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.72.176.240 (talk)

It's useful information which would have saved me considerable research. There are many books that have this mistake, going back to 1980. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:48, 1 July 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Sexuality

How come there is no mention of the fact that he is a homosexual? (2.103.232.72 (talk) 11:10, 5 February 2015 (UTC)) A persons sexuality is private. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:FB84:AB00:C09A:80BC:F32A:A4F7 (talk) 11:49, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
