I don't believe this actor meets WP:NACTOR. He hasn't had significant roles in films and has only appeared in a few episodes of TV series, nothing lead or recurring. I don't believe he meets our standards of notability for actors. Liz Read! Talk! 07:22, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete fails to meet WP:NACTOR, specifically has not "had significant roles in multiple notable [films]" MetricMaster (talk) 08:04, 23 March 2023 (UTC) This user has made 47 edits to Wikipedia.

 * Keep as noted on the Talk page, he has so far had two notable, named film roles and was mentioned in an LA Times review of one of them as "a strong supporting actor" (quoted and cited on the page). Further, he was a lead actor, being part of the Main Cast in the TV series Benders. --Eliyahu S Talk 09:25, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Since then I've found a second news article in which his name is in the title of the article (and ref'ed it on the page, of course). That's two news articles which are about him. That's notability, too. --Eliyahu S Talk 13:53, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - while short-lived, he did have a major role on Benders (TV series). Add to that he had significant roles on a season of NCIS: New Orleans (Season 4 and significant exposure the following season.  Finally, he also had a recurring role on Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (TV series).  Meets WP:NACTOR. Onel 5969  TT me 21:53, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Clearly the actor has had significant roles throughout his career. Certainly meets WP:NACTOR. CycloneYoris talk! 21:58, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
