This is an ill-defined list and seems to me to be pejorative and casts a value judgment on persons of widely varying weight. The list is titled "overweight actors" but only uses the word "overweight" 3 times. The word "fat" is used 9 times and is generally considered offensive. And despite sources that refer to some with a variety of euphemistic words construed to mean "fat" (portly, hefty, outsized), there is no standard. Michael Tucker, who is short statured and not lean, is included. One major source is an essay, citing almost 20 names. There is no objective definition of a "fat" actor and the list in fact includes actors who were not always considered overweight, reflecting that weight is a transitive state, for instance Marlon Brando (he wasn't so in his early career). The lead to the list discusses actors who pursue roles calling for "fat actors" as a matter of career. This is simply horribly biased and in no way encyclopedic. What next? Fat actors who have blue eyes who used to be thin? Include Matt Damon because he gained a lot of weight for a role? Vincent D'Onofrio who gained what? - 80 pounds for a role, lost it all back, had to go on medication that caused a weight gain? He's up and down, who monitors that? Ill-defined and vague requirements for inclusion. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 01:58, 3 October 2009 (UTC) reply
