::By rights, Dreyfus should have been brought up on the page even before the transphobia stuff, by virtue of him being an openly gay actor who played a prominent character. With that in mind, perhaps just bringing him up with a paragraph with a similar format to the one about Roberts would suffice? I would also suggest taking the part about [[Derek Jacobi]] and combining it into a sweeping "The Master has notably been portrayed by two openly gay actors" paragraph, with the part about Dreyfus' transphobia being brought up at the end. Although mentioning Jacobi (who's done nothing wrong) in the same breath may not be appropriate. | ::By rights, Dreyfus should have been brought up on the page even before the transphobia stuff, by virtue of him being an openly gay actor who played a prominent character.

:As for Davies and Barrowman, I'd argue that maybe we should only bring up bigotry among the cast and crew if said cast and crew are openly and unapologetically intolerant (like Roberts and Dreyfus), and not times where individuals were not aware nor had consciously intended any harm.
