Now, personally I actually don't want to do this, but this one of my personal favourite tropes for its real life section, and I'd like to get something like this done before someone comes along with the old "OMG natter we must purge the whole article to keep TV Tropes pure as driven snow" thing. So shall we move this page's Real Life examples to their own page? I don't like natter either and they are getting a bit clogged...

I think that would be a good idea. They aren't really trivia, but they aren't really Troper Tales. either...

I think they are Trivia, actually. They're interesting tidbits about the actors that don't appear within the work itself but aren't Audience Reactions.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Still, even if they are, a Trope and a Trivia probably shouldn't be on the same page.

Why does it even still have Real Life examples? After all, Nice Character, Mean Actor has none.

People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

You know, it would help if you had bothered to mention the article in the title.

I honestly think it'd be best to shove this into trivia and be done with it.

Fight smart, not fair.

[up][up] I assume we've been more lenient with this one because calling a real person "Mean" is a lot ruder than calling them "Nice".

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Nice Character, Mean Actor had RL examples, as I understand, but they were cut for being flamey. That really could have been solved with a different page, but whatever...

Well, I hope we're agreed, then. I'll do the moving.

How does this trope work without personally knowing the actor?

edit - nvm.

Should have checked the date.

Can we get the repair shop removed?

I'm going to say that real life examples would be trivia at best, so...

It already got spun off into a trivia trope, so the repair shop box can be taken down now.
