Added Capricorn One Film Credit[edit]

On March 3, 2010, I added Capricorn One to the list of film credits, in which he played "Control Room Man" (as Jim Sikking). Xin Jing (talk) 19:34, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added biographical information[edit]

James Barrie Sikking has a third brother, Robert Paxton Sikking born October 20, 1922, died April 22, 1988. His brother Bob served in the 101st Airborne and was a partial inspiration for Stephen Speilberg's Band of Brothers. He was awarded two purple hearts, the bronze star, and together with his fellow soldiers, received a presidential citation for their part in the Seige of Bastogne which led to the defeat of Hitler's sixth Army. His photograph as the first American soldier to reach Dachau camp appears in the Imperial War Museum, London. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.168.145 (talk) 18:58, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

James Sikking → James B. Sikking – He is best known including the B. since that is how he was credited in Hill Street Blues, his most prominent role. Marbe166 (talk) 15:59, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Definitely his WP:COMMONNAME. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. He has been billed as James Sikking every so often, but the bulk of his credits indicate he prefers the B. Nohomersryan (talk) 22:45, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
