Seeing as the fact that it's probably not going to get a release is well sourced, I don't see why we should list it in whishaw's credits. Or if we do, perhaps "2006 - The Restraint of Beasts (film, unreleased)" would be more appropriate? Amo (talk) 17:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ben's full name is Benjamin, but has been wrongly quoted as 'Benedict' on some websites including this one. I have verified this with the elctoral register and am trying to correct this inaccuracy.tedb (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tedbear1 (talk • contribs) 17:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
His paternal grandfather had a French first name, Russian middle name, and German surname. He changed it to "John Victor Whishaw" after WWII, during which he had served as a British spy in the German army, as the article says.Parkwells (talk) 18:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Would it be possible to create two separate lists for Ben's stage and screen credits? That would make them more assessable and the lists less confusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.164.115.18 (talk) 04:18, 23 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

The Lead has little of the points of Whishaw's life, other than listing credits and awards. Most bios have such content covered in the body of the article. Lead needs more editing to provide basic facts about his life. Parkwells (talk) 18:48, 11 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
