WP:BLP of an actor, not properly referenced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, NACTOR is not automatically passed by every actor whose article merely lists roles that they played -- having acting roles is literally the job description, so every actor who exists at all would get an article if merely listing roles was all that was required. Rather, notability has to be demonstrated by reliable source coverage about him and his roles in media, as evidence that his performances have garnered third-party attention and analysis. But the roles listed here are supporting and bit parts, not major starring roles, and the sourcing consists of a pair of TikTok videos, which is not support for notability at all, and a single piece of "local kid gets role" in the local media of his own hometown, which is acceptable as a start but not in and of itself enough. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more than just one hit of human interest coverage in his own hometown local media for sourcing.

 * Delete, fails WP:NACTOR, as he has not had starring roles in multiple notable productions, and also fails WP:GNG, as the only coverage I could find were a couple of interviews in the South Wales Argus. Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:27, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
