 * Keep appeareances in popular mainstream Australian TV shows such as All Saints implies notability, methinks. X Marx the Spot (talk) 23:04, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, while he has appeared in notable television programmes, he hasn't appeared in notable parts on those programmes. According to IMDB, his contribution to "All Saints" was one episode where he played an unnamed "Vietnam Soldier".  Other roles appear similarly minor.  Would not appear to meet the WP:ENTERTAINER notability guideline.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC).
 * KEEP, This actor has a lead role in an upcoming Australian feature film. His contribution to All Saints is included in the production listings of the series having been in two episodes as "Vietnam Soldier" and is also listed to appear in the series again later in 2008. This actor also appeared in more than one episode of HeadLand in 2005 and his short film credits have had screenings at festivals all around the world; one even received an Academy Award Nomination according to IMDB. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.23.150.119 (talk) 02:30, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm the author of this article. He may not be a famous actor but he and his credits are credible/notable within the industry it would seem. Boys Grammar was reported on A Current Affair here in Australia, he's received credible reviews for his theatre work and the above poster is right, his rapist Vietnam Soldier character was in more than one episode of All Saints, I saw it. Just because a character is unnamed does not necessarily question the validity of the part as being 'notable'. He's also listed as having had several lead roles in his productions as well as a lead in a feature film. --Spa1980 (talk) 04:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough here to suggest he meets the relevant criteria of WP:ENTERTAINER, being "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions." The Vietnam Soldier character doesn't seem "significant".  Regarding other appearances, the notability of the film or TV show is only half the story - he needs to have had enough significant roles in them.  Purported upcoming lead roles in feature films may change the story, but mean nothing in terms of his current notability for which I think he falls short. Murtoa (talk) 11:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I think by Australian standards he fits the criteria of WP:ENTERTAINER, having hard lead roles in various stage productions in Sydney as well as having two re-occurring characters on a TV series. Additionally, it looks like he's had lead roles in all his short film productions as well as a lead role in 'Offing David'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.23.150.119 (talk) 23:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Striking keep - user already posted saying to keep above. AllynJ (talk | contribs) 01:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment We're not judging by "Australian" standards. It seems he's had a combination of small roles in notable productions and bigger roles in non-notable productions. Neither qualifies.  Murtoa (talk) 07:09, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
