Non-notable actor whose most is best known (or so the article says) for his role as the fat man on bench in Forrest Gump. The article's content is entirely unreferenced and I've failed to find any source to solve that problem. Moreover, most of the current content is at best suspect and oftentimes nonsensical. For instance, his occupation is listed in part as "20% tipper, professional whistler". The info about his death is even more absurd. Pichpich (talk) 17:00, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable actor with minor roles (the highest billed one I could find in a major film is 16th in Leatherheads). Clarityfiend (talk) 03:49, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - especially with the uncited death. Off2riorob (talk) 09:13, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I've removed all of the unsourced information. That includes his birth, his "death", all of his personal information, etc. Even while discussing deletion, we can't have that kind of unsourced material in an article.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:13, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
