Poorly sourced and advertorially toned WP:AUTOBIO of an actor, who has no strong claim to passing WP:NACTOR. There's enough here that he would probably be eligible for an article if it could be sourced properly, but the references here are his IMDb profile and glancing acknowledgements of his existence in coverage that fails to be about him -- and, as always, even if he can be shown to clear NACTOR the path to getting a Wikipedia article still doesn't pass through writing it himself. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody else can do better than this, but an actor doesn't automatically get a Wikipedia article just because roles are listed in it; he gets one when he can be shown as the subject of enough reliable source coverage to support one.
