No significant credits that I can see. 14th billing in Serial Mom and a few appearances on The Wire appear to be the best of the lot. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:40, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete We do not concern ourselves with IMDB's billing order, as IMDB is considered A) unreliable as a source, and B) IMDB has no set criteria for determination of credit order. Billing order there can be alphabetical, or per appearance order, or per whomever production wishes to acknowledge first, or whomever joined a television series first or last. That said, this actor has a body of work that nudges at WP:ENT in that while he has many minor dscriptive roles, he does have appearances as named charaters which could be considered as significant to plotline of notable productions... such as being Ralph Sterner in Serial Mom, or Paddy Pingleton in Hairspray, and his recurring named characters perhaps considered significant to plotline in notable television productions... such as 3 episodes of The Wire as State's Attorney Steven Demper, and 4 episodes of Homicide: Life on the Street as Donald Tochterhagen. However, the commonness of his name make searches difficult. While these roles are verifiable, it seems no one has taken any special notice of the individual. He has definitely kept a low profile,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:08, 8 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable, independent third-party sources. Should such sources be integrated into the article, feel free to leave a note on my talk page and I'll take another look. Stuartyeates (talk) 05:04, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
