In the lead for the article it states that he began his professional career in 2001 on the stage. Shouldn't it be 2000 as this is when he landed his first professional acting roles, as minor as they may have been. Or is it stating this is when he began his professional career in theatre. If it is the latter it is a bit unclear and confusing, and why should it single out the beginning of his career on stage and not any other. I'd edit it myself but I'm unsure on the ins and outs of his early career. Just something I thought I'd point out, and thanks for any assistance on the matter. - Over Hill and Under Hill (talk • contribs) 15:022, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospitals as birth place in 1976[edit]
Cummberbach could not have been born there as it wasn't built in 1976, but in 1988.
He was born at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, Goldhawk Road.
QCH and QC&CH are both in Hammersmith, but the latter is in Du Cane Road when Chelsea Hospital and QCH relocated.
I worked in QCH in 1980 where I delivered one of Brian May's daughters, my wife was a midwife there in 1980-1982, my children were born there in 1983, 1985 and 1987. So I know where it was and what I am talking about.
So, please get it right....he was born simply at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, Goldhawk Road. Peteslez (talk) 22:10, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
