I'm sorry, but I find the "best remembered as Nightcrawler" part to be rather questionable. His roles as Boris in Goldeneye, Sandy Frink in Romy and Michele, and Fegan Floop in Spy Kids all come to my mind before Nightcrawler. Nightcrawler's role in X2 was rather minimal, and he is not even going to be returning for X-Men 3.
Does anyone have any sources for Alan Cumming being specifically involved in LGBT rights rather than just being gay bisexual? I suspect the category (
Category: LGBT rights activists) should be removed.--

Alan Cumming also provided the voice of the Devil in God, the Devil and Bob which I would suggest is more significant than some of the other things he is 'best known for' listed here. He has also been popular in the UK for a considerable time, long before he did Cabaret in New York. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.205.224.155 ( talk) 09:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I fixed an editorialized and non factual description which was reverted. What's up?
What is meant by "regular" in this case? The description I used provides some actual history, and he's definitely not a "regular male", nor the only one. There are many "regular" male characters who have no gender issues at all. Some are straight and some are gay or bisexual. Max is anything but "regular". Filmfluff ( talk) 17:01, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
These dont belong on the main page external link section per WP:EL. If they are reliable sources, someone may wish to incorporate the information into the article. -- The Red Pen of Doom 23:14, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
I think someone has misunderstood the info about his abusive father. He claimed later in life that Alan wasn't his son but this wasn't true, it was something he said to hurt him. http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2014/nov/14/alan-cumming-i-never-felt-achieved-enough-always-told-was-nothing
Today, mentions of Cummings' book May the Foreskin Be with You were removed by 79.20.112.252 and User:Jamesofur, claiming that the book doesn't exist. How then are http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/778420035 and ISBN 978-1-936-83339-9, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13586991-may-the-foreskin-be-with-you, http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/714991682, http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/throsby/alan-cumming/6488022, http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1344719912l/13586991.jpg, etc, explained? -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 00:25, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Why is there nothing about Victor and Barry? There appeared on TV, theater and even panto.. -- Crazyseiko ( talk) 16:04, 12 July 2016 (UTC) You can even see it here: http://www.alancumming.com/1988/
And how long is Scotland an independent country?😏-- Modun ( talk) 11:45, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
I don't understand "Cumming and his brother took DNA tests that proved they were indeed his biological children". Surely what the tests show is that he and his brother have the same father. They do not identify who the father was is. 86.167.229.152 ( talk) 17:56, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Why no mention at all of his role in X-Men 2? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.3.118.18 ( talk) 22:18, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
Hey, uninterested editor here RC patrolling and stuff, I see the addition of the birthday without a valid source, this might be a valid source. I don't know if Playbill would be considered a reliable source here or not, and it doesn't show his year, just his birthday, January 27th, so perhaps it could be added without his age able to be confirmed, just January 27th.
