Currently not a notable actor. So far, he has only had bit parts in films (few of which are themselves notable) and non-recurrent TV series roles and therefore falls short of the notability criterion for actors. The current references include IMDb (not viewed as reliable) and two interviews (which are generally considered as iffy because they are primary sources) so I don't think he passes the basic notability criterion either.

Delete - lacks the coverage needed to establish general notability nor do the roles indicate any sort of notability that could be established specifically for actors. --Whpq (talk) 23:05, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a bunch of insignificant roles do not add up to notability. Unfortunantely at present there seems to be an attitude in some circles in Wikipedia if you appeared in at least 10 films made before 1950, at least as long as you were included in the credits, you are notable. This is a horribly low threshold for notability and has produced some very vaucuous articles. I am doing my best to reverse this notation, and clearly keep it from applying to living actors.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:25, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
