New page. I'd love your thoughts on it! --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 04:36, 29 November 2007 (CST)
:Isn't this another page that needs constant updates? -_^
::~ [[User:Renegade|Renegade]] ([[User talk:Renegade|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Renegade|contribs]]) 06:39, 29 November 2007 (CST)
:To the same extent that the "Participate!" box on the Recent Changes page needed constant updates... if someone knows a task that needs doing they add it, if someone has completed a task, they remove it. Simple as that. But this way, someone who wants to help out isn't overwhelmed by a long list (it's subcategorized). Plus, a lot of confusion is avoided as far as "what does this page need?" because it says right there what changes each page requires. --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 07:01, 29 November 2007 (CST)
:::While I love this page and think it is total genius, I'm kind of afraid to take completed tasks off of the page because maybe someone doesn't think they are complete, should we always ask on this talk page before we take each of them off or what? [[User:Nancypants|Nancypants]] 16:54, 29 November 2007 (CST)
You make a fair point. We should make some kind of system where someone can like.. say they think it's done and then someone can check it and hmmm... thinking about the best way to do that. Anyone have any ideas? --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 05:16, 30 November 2007 (CST)
::My idea is to take out the update box on the actual page, ask on ''this'' talk page to see if anyone disputes it and then if no one does, take it off this page too. Sounds kind of like a lot though..[[User:Nancypants|Nancypants]] 20:55, 30 November 2007 (CST)

== Chris and Dr. Hart ==

I'm pretty sure they're done, what does everyone else think? [[User:Nancypants|Nancypants]]

== Yousef ==
I worked on Yousef's page a bit. Edited for grammar and moved paragraphs around so it was more coherent. Please feel free to change, and then delete from the "updates" page. Thanks! -Grace2_89 (sorry, I forgot to log in)

Talk:Yousef Abu-Taleb

68.3.153.141:

I apologize if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but I think a page should be created detailing the events surrounding the "Yousef has been fired scandal." It would be good to have a page clarifying what is known and dispelling some of the more ridiculous rumors that sprung up. --[[User:Treefunk|Treefunk]] 14:04, 2 December 2006 (CST)
:I've now added such a page from the content on the [[Talk:Firing of Yousef]] page. --[[User:Treefunk|Treefunk]] 14:53, 2 December 2006 (CST)

Hey guys, I edited for grammar as best I could and noticed that the original jumped around a bit. I made new sections for things like Other Work and a section for the rumor thing. As always, feel free to change. And darn it, I forgot to log in. - Grace2_89

'''Yousef Abu-Taleb''' is the actor who plays [[Daniel]] in the Lonelygirl15 viral video series. He has also done some of the camera work and writing for the series. Born in Arlington, Virginia (USA), he lived in Jordan until he was eight. Yousef's father is Jordanian and lives in Herndon, Va. His mother is British and lives in Harrisonburg, Va. Yousef, 26, took classes at Blue Ridge Community College before moving to Los Angeles in early 2005. Yousef has two brothers and four sisters.

While looking for roles as an actor, he worked as a bartender and as a waiter for Red Lobster. In the meantime, he worked with acting coach {{imdb-person|0583951|Robert Miano}} and producer {{imdb-person|0006786|James Quattrochi}}.

Yousef responded to the posting for a film called [[Children of Anchor Cove (listing)|Children of Anchor Cove]] (a codename for the lonelygirl15 project) on [[Craigslist]]. Unlike co-star [[Jessica Lee Rose|Jessica Rose]], Yousef was not hesitant to join the project. Although Yousef was nearly ten years older than the character of Daniel, he was hired for the role. As a result, the character of Daniel, who was originally supposed to be 15-16 was rewritten as an 18-year-old.

During the filming, before his identity was revealed, Yousef kept a low profile, keeping to his house and wearing sunglasses when he went out. After [[the Creators]] and crew announced that LG15 was a YouTube Series, Yousef was interviewed by MTV and CNN.

==Rumors==
A [[Firing of Yousef|scandal]] developed on November 8th, 2006, as rumors spread that Yousef had been fired. These rumors were subsequently dispelled by [[the Creators]]. Yousef's character still remains on the series more than eleven months after the scandal.

==Other Works and Appearances==
He had a small part in the film {{imdb-movie|0458438|Dorm Daze 2}}; the scene was cut, but can be seen in the Deleted Scenes section of the DVD.

Before lonelygirl15 he appeared in an independent film "Stray" in which his character was beaten to death.

He also appeared with Jessica on the [[Tom Green]] show.

Most recently he has joined forces with {{myspace|rbahador|Reza Bahador}} to bring the radio show: [[F.O.B. Life]] to the airwaves. The show can be seen on [http://www.nowlive.com Now Live Internet Radio].

Yousef appeared with Jessica Rose on the Red Carpet at the VH1 Big in '06 Awards, for which lonelygirl15 won the award for biggest download.

He also did some work alongside Carmen Electra for [[Epic Movie]], a film that parodies a number of other epic films such as The DaVinci Code, The Chronicles of Narnia and Snakes on a Plane.

He is a member of the Screen Actors Guild.

==Trivia==
Yousef almost missed his audition for lonelygirl15, because he got it confused with another audition.

Yousef is inspired by success and says that if he weren't an actor, he'd like to be a rock star.

He has also stated on F.O.B. life that his favorite LG15 episode is [[Grillz feat. Danielbeast, LG15, P. Monkey, and O'n.]]
