 * Delete. As always, the notability of an actor is not passed just by listing roles — having acting roles is literally the job description, so every actor who exists at all would get an instant notability freebie if listing roles were all it took. Rather, the notability test for an actor requires externally-validated evidence of the significance of at least some of their roles, such as notable award nominations and/or the reception of sufficient reliable source coverage about them and their performances to pass WP:GNG. But the only "reference" here is from a blog, not a reliable or GNG-worthy source, and there's not much other referencing to be found since virtually all of the roles listed were supporting or bit parts rather than leading roles.
