Removed Trivia

also posted at Charlie Pace navee

I removed the speculation that Charlie is based on Naveen Andrews' life. he is the sexiest man on the earth. mmmmhmmmmm. i would like some of him on my dinner plate.This is neither confirmed nor pertinent, especially since the IMDB trivia page (and interviews with Mr. Monaghan I've read) indicate that the part of Charlie was part of the original show concept, but was re-written from a middle-aged fading star to a 20-something after TPTB saw Mr. Monaghan's audition. Occam's Razor would indicate to me that the character of Charlie is more based on the many other rockers who lived Charlie's lifestyle than on Naveen Andrews. In fact, as Damon Lindelof said at Lost-TV, "And the first thing we wrote for the show before there was even a script were character outlines. Like Charlie, for instance. We constructed him as a has-been musician, late 40s who'd been in a band in the '80s and then Dominic Monaghan came in and read and it was like wow! He was so amazing we changed the character and write for him (Dominic)." This pretty much kills any speculation, IMHO.Baryonyx 07:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is he of Sri Lankan Tamil ancestry

Many assume that he is of Indian ancestry, but some have speculated that his parents are from Sri Lanka not India. Is it correct ?

RaveenS 19:44, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AShould he be categorized in the "Indian-American" section? Is he an American citizen? 65.93.118.167 21:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added 3 categories

Added 3 categories Indian Christian, Anglo-Indians, Tamil, his parents are immigrants to Great Britian from Chennai(Madras), India and are of Anglo-Indian descent.--71.30.188.223 03:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He is not Anglo-Indian or Tamil. He's a Malayali. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.202.244 (talk) 02:53, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is he South Indian?His parents are from Kerala,so he might be Malayalee.I don't think he is Tamil.

Added another category Tamil actor--71.30.188.223 04:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a British Asian category to put him on that list--Kathanar 04:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images

The current image of Naveen Andrews cannot be used as it can be replaced by a freer image. The fair use that covers the magazine is for the magazine only and not the subject of the magazine. (Quentin X 12:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Also, the image of him in Lost can also be replaced by a freer image. It does not matter that one cannot be found, there must be one in existence. (Quentin X 18:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Removed the ridiculous looking "No Free Image, Do you have one" image, as it looks ridiculous and dominates the header. Better to have none at all.

I don't see why we can't use the one from Sayid Jarrah article. ArdClose (talk) 19:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Muslim?

Is he a half-caste Muslim? LOTRrules (talk) 21:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, his ancestry is from India, but presumably includes some white British blood from colonial times. His family followed Methodism, a branch of Christianity which Naveen doesn't appear to follow.--MartinUK (talk) 08:55, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, he does not have white British blood; Naveen Andrews is not an Anglo-Indian. He has a European name like most converted Catholics and Christians in India do. Likewise, most converted Muslims in India, Indonesia, Bangladesh and other Asian countries adopt Arabic or Persian names.

As for the original question, what exactly is a "half caste Muslim"? Muslim isn't a race and it's pretty obvious from Naveen's looks that he's not half anything; he looks like a typical Malayali or other South Indian. Also, Naveen isn't even a Muslim name so I don't know where the Muslim idea came from in the first place. AyanP (talk) 05:45, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Ayan[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:Sayidlost.PNG

The image File:Sayidlost.PNG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.
