 * Yeah, nothing here suggests that he has a valid notability claim under our inclusion standards for either diplomats or actors, and the sourcing doesn't even approach being good enough to satisfy WP:GNG instead — reference #6 is strong, but everything else is a blog, a primary source or a glancing namecheck of his existence in a source that isn't about him. Neither diplomats nor actors automatically get to have articles just because they can be verified as existing — we have standards for both fields to determine the point at which a person in those occupations becomes eligible for an article, and he hasn't passed either set.
