WP:BLP of an actor, not adequately referenced as having a stronger claim to passing WP:NACTOR than he had at the time of the first AFD discussion. As always, NACTOR is not automatically passed just because the article has acting roles listed in it — at this point he's still "known" almost entirely for supporting and guest roles and/or short films, with no strong evidence that any of his roles count as major ones. The sourcing isn't adequate to get him over WP:GNG for them either, as four of the five footnotes just glancingly namecheck his existence in the process of not being about him to any non-trivial degree. There is one source that actually has him as its main subject, which is a start, but it doesn't clinch him as notable all by itself if it's the only such source in play. As always, actors do not automatically get an inclusion freebie just because they exist: they still need a stronger notability claim, such as multiple significant roles (which is not the same thing as "all roles") and/or notable acting awards, and they still need more than just one hit of media coverage that's actually about them.
