Delete - Almost every mention of this actor on Google is a mirror of this article. I haven't been able to find anything in the way of independent references to him or his work. Unfortunately can't meet WP:GNG without good sources, and I don't see them. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:03, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The name is too common to find any sources, but I'd be willing to reconsider if we can dig some up. Oaktree b (talk) 20:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As always, the notability test for actors is not just "a list of roles is present" — the article has to be supported by reliable sources that establish the significance of at least some of his performances, such as by verifying that he won or was nominated for major acting awards (Oscar, Emmy, Canadian Screen Award, etc.) or by analyzing the roles in enough depth to count toward WP:GNG (as opposed to just glancingly namechecking his existence in a cast list). His strongest potential notability claim is as the lead character in Zero Patience, but on checking ProQuest for that I don't find coverage about him, I just find coverage that mentions his name in the process of being about the film — and even if we accepted that anyway, NACTOR #1 still requires multiple significant roles, not just one.
