Crappy article[edit]

Wasn't he on the TV shows "John Doe" as the main villan ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.219.142.146 (talk) 13:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, as short-lived as it was. He was Digger. 62.0.133.108 (talk) 17:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have read that he is John Forsythe's son. Does anyone know if this is correct, or have a citable reference? LVehko (talk) 07:41, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found a fairly reliable reference for this, so I went ahead and added it. LVehko (talk) 20:09, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, my footnote at John Forsythe (end of article) isn't working, so I included the reference in the 'external links' section. If anybody can fix, please do so... Thx LVehko (talk) 07:49, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Someone keeps changing the information that William is John Forsythe's son -- the last edit read 'he is NOT the son of actor John Forsythe.' Would the person who keeps making the change please say why? I have several sources that say he IS John Forsythe's son, and would like the article to be accurate. Thanks LVehko (talk) 09:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
