Chill out, gang. The guy is wicked funny. How about "one of the best improv artists in the world"? Or, how about "with Ryan Stiles, one of the best improv artists, best known for their work on the long-running television show, Who's Line Is It, Anyway"?
Widely believed to be the best improv artist in the world? That's funny because I've never heard of the guy. And nine hugely successful years by who's standards? Foofy 17:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
"Already one of the most highly visible actors in North American television". No, don't think so. Perhaps the author of this article should consider removing this statemtent?
Well he does do those kids' snack commercials and I could swear I've seen him doing some other commercials as well. But yeah, this entry does seem to have a bit of a breathless, defensive, ColinMochrieIsMuchBetterThanRyanStiles.com webmaster quality to it. --Wikitoddia 17:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
6'2" < 6'6". Yeah we all agree on that so whay have a sentence about it?
I changed the wording about his co-hosting (with Rosie O'Donnell (what a coup)) an introduction to the bakery @ Disney's California adventure. --Wikitoddia 17:34, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
"The reason he is in (almost) every Animutation is because Neil Cicierega one way or another placed Colin in almost every Animutation he made, making the inclusion of him in Animutation somewhat of a running gag." Putting aside the word choice (the reason is because--should be the reason is that), this sentence doesn't make sense. He's in every Animutation because he was placed in every Animutation. I don't know enough to fix this--I came to this article to learn about Mochrie, knowing nothing about him--but someone who does should fix it so that it isn't just a tautology.71.77.12.236 03:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
this page doesnt cover anything about how ryan got him REALLY into improv, and also got him on the show. they were even in toronto together if i remember correctly. one of the best friendships i know, and it's not mentioned? shame shame.
Is there any real reason the article suddenly ends with "Colin is left handed." ? It seems pretty out of place.
I came here hoping to find information verifying that Colin Mochrie did in fact perform the monologue "Canada Apologizes" often attributed to Rick Mercer, or was it really Rick Mercer?
Based on circumstantial information.
Unfortunately I can't find the original video to confirm 100%.Clerks 18:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks again. From the video and although blurry it does look very much like Colin Mochrie. It certainly doesn't look like Rick Mercer. -- Horkana 22:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

"…in the Second City 40th Anniversary Retrospective, that at one point, Stiles made Colin's wife (Deb McGrath) laugh so much, that she peed her pants." --his wife has somewhat 3 senteces in the article and this is one of them. Is this information (or gossip) that "substantial" to be there? --81.201.48.25 (talk) 13:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
It seems he first appeared in the 3rd series (I guess it could be december 1990 or january 1991) in episode 3x05 (correct me if I'm wrong). As written on his pages, he almost didn't do such an impression to be given a second chance, but he was, eventually. (I just wanted to say that if someone wants to use it in the article.) --81.201.48.25 (talk) 14:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
any citations on this? I can find no mention of his death anywhere but here.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.203.37.41 (talk) 02:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Looking at the 'Scottish Canadian' article, it claims that this is an ethnic group; which poses the question of what is his nationailty. Is he British or Canadian? Or does he hold duel-cizternship?--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 19:30, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

He met fellow improv comedian Ryan Stiles during this time. He was visiting a mutual friend in New Zealand when Stiles was doing comedy at Punchlines. should be He met fellow improv comedian Ryan Stiles when Stiles was doing comedy at Punchlines. - Colin was not visiting a friend in New Zealand at this time, according to the interview from 2007 he talks about a guy from NZ he *just* visited for the first time.

In the article of Colin's time on Whose Line is it Anyway it states that he was on the show until the final episode in 2006. But reading back onto the Whose Line is it Anyway page it states that the finale was in the year 2004, and I requested this change because it may cause confusion to others. Thank you.

Maybe include a mention somewhere that he guest starred on the YouTube show Space Janitors on Season 3 Ep. 5 which airs on the Geek & Sundry YouTube channel. The channel is run by Felicia Day who has her own Wiki page. I haven't watch the episode myself but I did notice it on the channel while watching other shows.

Please change Colin's child's name from "Luke" to "Hannah", and "son" to "daughter" as she has openly transitioned to the gender identity of female and the name of Hannah. Luke is now a dead name.

I noticed that the information pertaining to Colin's child is inconsistent between the "Personal Life" section near the bottom of the page which reads "Hannah", and the summary in the top right which reads "Luke". I haven't found a lot of information that nails down this information since most sites seem to just copy wikipedia. But the last edit to the article changed the "Personal Life" section and not the summary thus creating an inconsistency. Madetofall (talk) 05:59, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Proposal: Change mentions of having a son based on new information that his child is a trans woman.
Change:
1. "had a son, Luke" to "had a child, Kinley" 2. "his son Luke co-starred" to "his daughter Kinley co-starred"

Addition: Colin Mochrie appeared in the film "After the Ball" (2015), playing Frost, the arch-nemesis fashion designer. 47.17.38.216 (talk) 01:03, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
In the third paragraph under the 1988-1998 section, the first sentence needs to be changed from "Mochrie's co-stars on the show would frequently mock him for being Canada" to "being Canadian." I agree he is a talented Canuck, but I don't think he's expanded himself to become the entire country... yet. 2606:A000:9FC0:4B:45FA:B588:3FAF:F0BE (talk) 08:36, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
Can Colin's daughter's deadname (birth name) please be removed from the Personal Life section? It's unnecessary to include it since most people are not familiar with Kinley Mochrie pre-transition like they were with Caitlyn Jenner or Chaz Bono.
Stating that Kinley "was originally male" and "later transitioned" is also unnecessary and redundant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.40.73 (talk) 18:41, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Agreed! I came to the Talk page to say that! It's super disrespectful, not to mention irrelevant, to deadname her like that. --2600:1700:94C0:8460:D599:1265:BF7:7D0 (talk) 00:36, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Should Colin Mochrie's daughter's deadname be included in this article? --User:WhyBeNormal 22:39, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
The names of any immediate, former, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject.
If such a subject was not notable under their former name, it usually should not be included in that or any other article, even if some reliable sourcing exists for it. Treat the pre-notability name as a privacy interest separate from (and often greater than) the person's current name.
Use context to determine which name or names to provide on a case-by-case basis. Generally, do not go into detail over changes in name or gender presentation unless they are relevant to the passage in which the person is mentioned.
The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content.), I've removed the deadname from the article while this RFC is ongoing (it should only be added back if consensus is achieved to include it). I agree with Gbear605 that the wording of the rest of the passage should also be improved. GreenComputer (talk) 03:05, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
