| Submission declined on 15 July 2025 by Bearcat (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: We need to see reliable source coverage about him and his performances to get him over WP:NACTOR. It's not enough to show sources that glancingly mention his name in cast lists -- we need to see sources that centre him and his performances by saying a lot more about him than just his name.
