Apparently only best known for 5 episodes of Babylon 5 and there's basically nothing else actually convincing for WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:GNG, my searches have found nothing better than mentions for Babylon 5 at Books. SwisterTwister talk 07:22, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is kind of tough one to decide, but I'm leaning more toward the keep side. This article in the Los Angeles Times is a long, detailed article about his career up to 1992 and includes mention of Spaced Invaders. This article in The A.V. Club describes him as a "go to actor for [Babylon 5]", which makes me think his roles in B5 were substantial enough to contribute to his notability. This article also mentions him, and this one specifically critiques his acting in the series. Besides that, there are quite a few theater reviews in the Los Angeles Times, including [1], [2], and [3], among others. I think that, with all the sources added up, he probably does satisfy WP:NACTOR. This doesn't count all the trivial mentions scattered throughout Google Books, which I'm not really sure are enough to count toward establishing notability. But they're available if anyone wants to spend more time scouring through them than I did. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:19, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep as the above mentioned articles provide significant reliable source coverage directly about the actor, particularly The Los Angeles Times , so that WP:BASIC is fulfilled. Atlantic306 (talk) 20:22, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think enough sources have been found to meet notability requirements. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 06:05, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
