David E. Kelley's Religion

The recently added paragraph

Sometimes assumed to be a Catholic (because of his surname and his character on The Practice, Bobby Donnell's Catholic background and his personal estrangement from the Church over the issue of pedophile priests), Kelley is actually a Protestant.

merits some scrutiny. If, as The New York Times reported, Kelley was raised Catholic, to what Protestant denomination did he convert and when? And is Bobby Donnell "his character" more so than other Practice characters? Robert Happelberg 20:18, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Recycled Dialog?

The examples provided of Kelley recycling dialog seem pretty trite. I bet lots of characters say "Hello" to each other on his different shows, too. Is that "recycled dialog" worthy of a place on this list? Or should we just delete this section? --Christofurio 21:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I haven't watched many of his shows, but if you ask me using a specific line from one show to the next sounds more like clever writing than "recycling" dialogue, especially based on the examples (save for "Look at me!" which I can see being easy to overuse). But as I haven't actually seen the scenes with these lines. --WWB 00:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
