Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that a Ruggles, a Pacino, and a Fishburne have all won a Tony Award for supporting roles?

• Reviewed: Titi Sjuman

• Hook: Hmm... not sure if we want to go with this. Perhaps something like ... that each installment of Neil Simon's Eugene trilogy and both parts of Tony Kushner's Angels in America series have won a Tony Award for supporting roles? We want something truly unique.

Article: By DYK script the article is 2185 characters. However, this includes 687 characters in the notes which are not "readable prose" by DYK definition. As such, the article is 1498 characters... two characters short (easy fix), at least. New enough, 5x expansion shown. Referencing is thorough, with the only unreferenced paragraph only summarizing sourced content from the table. AGF on reference behind paywall.

Summary: Minor expansion (very, very, very, very, very minor) and feedback on the hook required. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:44, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

• Expanded. I prefer the alternate hook, though neither are very interesting to be honest. Albacore (talk) 16:36, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

• How about ALT2: ... that Frank Langella is the only person to win the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play more than once? Length is fine now. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:59, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Support the third. Albacore (talk) 16:33, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
