Actually, I was hoping to draw some attention to that category. Marcel Marceau is "selectively mute" in the same way that any other pantomimist is... including Harpo Marx, whom someone else added to the category recently, and Teller, who I also saw in that category. I think that is really questionable, because the category started out referencing people who are mute due to social anxiety. Harpo and Teller and Marceau and pantomimists are/were silent just as part of their act, and had no problem talking in non-performance situations. I've heard Marceau talk before, typically out of character, i.e. not made up as Bip. If you take away Marceau and also Harpo and Teller, the category contains all of about 3 names.

You are confusing the actor with the character portrayed. The performers you mention are no more mute than I might be when I am in public and do not feel like speaking, whether I am reading a book in a café or performing a pantomime. These performers play characters who do not speak. Bip does not speak because no one in his imaginary universe speaks.
Teller does not speak as a comic contrast to his partner,
Penn.
Harpo Marx does not speak because it was a comic convention to emphasize his physical comedy, and his relative innocence in comparison to his more verbose and cynical brothers. "Selectively Mute" is a category that better applies to people who have taken an actual vow of silence-- like certain ascetics.

Hello, Ian! I am RS. Is Dario Fo an atheist? Do you have any source that identifies Fo as an atheist? I have found one source that identifies Fo as an atheist. But, I need one more. If you have any source, inform me. Thank you. RS 07:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello! I was looking at the Mime Artist page and discovered that you practice mime too. I am glad I found someone who considers themselves part of this tradition.
I was a-thinking. There is much work to be done in terms of addressing the history of mime - e.g. the influence of Decroux and Lecoq on New Mime. Mime's relationship to " Physical theatre". Also addressing some other traditions that are related, such of Bouffons, Clowning, Commedia Dell'Arte etc.
If you ask me, this article needs ALOT of work. I was wondering what your thoughts would be? Thanks a lot. Sebbi ( talk) 20:09, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
