A few bit parts (references to IMDB) and a few publications as a PhD in neuroscience don't add up to notability. Drmies (talk) 20:40, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Not notable as an actor. In terms of his academic work it is WP:TOOSOON.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 07:19, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. actually doesn't look too bad, but at the same time they are multi-authored. His most cited paper is actuall very well cited (2.5k in Nature), but at the same time it has 12 authors, which means it's anybody's bet if author X or Y was doing serious work there or just riding along for one reason or another (click me). This really rests only on the citation count, since there is nothing else to suggest NBIO is met, and as such, it's probably is not enough (since NPROF is just a supplementary addition to NBIO). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  09:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. 4k citations and 6 papers with 100+ citations are generally enough to keep an article per WP:NPROF and the acting just adds to notability. --hroest 00:58, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a high citation field, and 2,500 of those citations are from a paper where he is the 7th named author.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 06:12, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Countering the point by Eostrix, the next 2 most cited articles, each with 500+ on GS, were first-author articles, without too many other authors. Countering the point by hroest, the h-index is 13, and hroest recently !voted to delete on someone with at least an h-index of 17, far more coverage, and significant disadvantages for h-index (e.g. working in some lower-citation fields, publishing in several different fields, having very few self-citations, etc.), granted the citation count was 1000 lower if we remove the 2500+ citation paper referred to by Eostrix.

 * So, very promising but only a bit above the median in his field, which with a very low paper cutoff (10) is skewed toward early post-docs (this is a high-publication discipline). I would say TOOSOON if he was still in academia, but haven't evaluated him for GNG yet. JoelleJay (talk) 22:24, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. I'm not convinced by his acting coverage either, so for now he is just a TOOSOON scientist. JoelleJay (talk) 21:12, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
