Delete We are still trying to correct the mistakes of 13 years ago. An article sourced to just IMDb should not be surviving 13 minutes, let alone 13 years.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:38, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Most if not all of his roles were no where close to being significant.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:04, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as does not pass WP:NACTOR with mainly minor roles. There is a bit of coverage for his role in Jack Frost but not enough for WP:GNG imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:39, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I have located some sources on newspapers.com and have applied to have them clipped. I will post them here as soon as I can. They demonstrate that the subject has, at the very least, received some level of coverage over the years, mainly for his starring role in a play, The Dock Brief. In addition to that role, he had a main role in Jack Frost (1997 film), supporting roles in several films, and lots of television appearances. The problem with character actors is that they don't usually have long-running roles, but I think there is enough here to pass WP:NACTOR. Dflaw4 (talk) 04:06, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Here are the sources: here, here, here and here. Dflaw4 (talk) 06:49, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the third source appears to be an advertisement. Dflaw4 (talk) 06:54, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately in my view there's not enough coverage for WP:GNG, and his film role was a direct to video effort so the play is really his only good role, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:42, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can request more sources, Atlantic306, because there are many more, since the play had about four separate runs. If you think that might change your mind vis-à-vis WP:GNG, I'll certainly do that. Dflaw4 (talk) 03:39, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
He also had a supporting role in Jinxed!. Dflaw4 (talk) 11:43, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
