Hi guys

Lets get an article going about Philip Winchester. Please don't just delete the article I made so far, please help create the article and make it better. I have a picture of Philip if the admin will help me add it that would be cool. I am the original copyright holder of the picture. The picture was taken on set of the Crusoe shoot on 8 August 2008.

I'm not so sure that Philip Winchester will be back for the next season of Strike Back. In the last moments of the Season 2 finale, his character seems to be signalling that he will leave MI6, at least for a whle, to raise his child. I don't know whether it was written this way so that people aren't too shocked when he doesn't come back next season or to build suspense or both. After all, British shows are not shy about killing off characters - cases in point: Primeval or the transition from Season 1 to Season 2 of Strike Back - so no British audience member will be incredibly surprised if he doesn't come back for Season 3. I think it might be better to remove this clause from "Career": ", it is presumed Winchester will reprise his role".

American[edit]

Born and raised in the US, he only moved to the UK when he was 18 after he graduated High School. Any sources to state other wise? And as for ethnicity,we can use the guideline [here],

"#Context (location, nationality, or ethnicity);

1. In most modern-day cases this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident, or if notable mainly for past events, the country where the person was a citizen, national or permanent resident when the person became notable.
2. Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability.
The notable positions the person held, activities they took part in or roles they played;
Why the person is significant."

Two IPs, both Geolacating to the North of England, seem to think someones ethnic back ground needs to be forwarded. Murry1975 (talk) 21:09, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notable for playing a British Character, it is disputably the role for which he is best known internationally, to the extent that many aren't aware of his true American birth. He also trained as an actor (the reason he is significant), in the United Kingdom. That coupled with his direct parental link is more than enough. This is no different to calling Sean Brosnan an Irish-American. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.226.213.58 (talk) 20:23, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And notable for various American characters. "to the extent that many aren't aware of his true American birth", really? Sources? "He also trained as an actor (the reason he is significant), in the United Kingdom", and where is the guideliine to icluded that as a reason for changing his nationality?
