unnecessary spoiler?

I kind of feel the "he is about to be killed off" line is rather unnecessary- not only is it unreferenced, it's a totally unnecessary (and even potentially purely speculative) spoiler. I know wiki allows spoilers, but I feel to make mention of a plot line that hasn't aired yet goes too far. Himynameishelen (talk) 23:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Best known for?

I have just found an apperance he made in the 1989 Fuzzbox music video Pink Sunshine as a geeky dancer I greatly disagree that he's best known as the voice of the GEICO Gecko! I think he's best known for his role in Eastenders, without doubt... Anyone else agree? 79.69.122.221 (talk) 21:35, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently this one is very country-dependent, I forget what the correct Wikipedia behavior is. In the US, most people have never even heard of the British series "East Enders" (I have, but anyway) let alone seen it, or Max Branning. However Geico has been on a huge advertising push since 1999; Jake Wood's voice is very prominent on US TV - but noone knows his name or face. Smcinerney (talk) 05:52, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Known for

The lead of this article currently reads: "Jake Dylan Wood (born 12 July 1972) is an English actor, known for his roles as Jackson and Max Branning in the BBC soap opera EastEnders."

Is he? Jackson was a two-episode minor role. Numerous soap actors make minor appearances in soaps, then go on to play regular characters – but they are not known for the role by any means. Personally, I don't think you can compare his work as Jackson to his work as Max by placing them both in the first sentence of the lead. Pinging @Zigwithbag and 5 albert square: as they are two editors involved in this dispute. – DarkGlow (contribs • talk) 23:51, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted it because the other editor thought the article was referring to Jack Branning not a character called Jackson. It's covered by quite a few reliable sources. If you think it shouldn't be in the article then remove it.-- 5 albert square (talk) 23:57, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
