Perhaps his only notable role was as Jupiter Sharts in the 1989 Civil War film Glory (1989 film). Regardless, the sole source from New York Times is a dead link, thus the article is unsourced. The article may qualify for WP:NACTOR but it fails WP:GNG. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 18:37, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The New York Times article is not a dead link; even if it were the print edition would be a source. Kablammo (talk) 21:45, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - he appears to have another notable role in 2007, but even if he never acted again, which he almost didn't, he was widely lauded for his supporting role in Glory. There's not much of a stub there, but it has potential. I found several good sources with a few clicks. Bearian (talk) 20:01, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect to film at best as I would be lenient to keeping for that, as we have for other people best known for one film and such, but this is all still questionable for own notability, as shown by his list of works. SwisterTwister talk 22:58, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
