Eddie Izzard's involvement with Kaos

Eddie featured in 4 episodes of the new Netflix show Kaos which has yet to be added to their page. IMDb shows their involvement [1]https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8550732/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm CmdrMash (talk) 20:39, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

first name

Izzard prefers Suzy as her first name (Suzy Eddie Izzard), but the article lists her primarily as Eddie in the title and elsewhere. this should be changed. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-03-07/eddie-izzard-reveals-new-name-suzy-transgender-comedian 50.100.177.116 (talk) 12:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. That article says, very plainly: "The comedian said she'll keep her public name as "Eddie Izzard," which she decided to maintain for the recognition." Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:49, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
