I don't believe this unreferenced BLP meets notability requirements of WP:ENTERTAINER. All roles appear to be minor, and I can find no sources in Google news, books, or scholar. لenna vecia  17:17, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep See interview. Was major and sometimes minor character in numerous films and television from 1976 through 2004. The article does not do the man justice and needs a proper cleanup.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete that he appeared in films is not at issue. No independent sources ("Actorslife.com" aint one) have ever seen fit to discuss him in any non-trivial depth. Therefore not notable, therefore delete.Bali ultimate (talk) 13:28, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * He passes the sub-guideline WP:ENTERTAINER in that he "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, or other productions". These are WP:Verifiable.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 15:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No he doesn't. Significant roles in multiple notable [productions] is the requirement. He doesn't meet it. لenna  vecia  15:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry we disagree, but he does. Recurring major role in Home Improvement, lead recurring role in The Oldest Rookie (no wiki article yet), recurring major role Knotts Landing, recurring major role in Alice, and appearances in dozens of notable shows such as Seinfeld, Family Matters, LA Law, Hill Street Blues, Mad About You, Cheers, Star Trek the Next Generation, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Wonder Years, The Magnificent Seven and many, many, many more from 1976 through 2004. Sure looks like "significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, or other productions" per WP:ENTERTAINER to me.  That you think his body of work is insignificant is an opinion to which you are entitled. That's why we are now at AfD to decide what the community thinks. Thank you.

 * And that you think any appearance is significant is your opinion. Was he cast in a significant role in any notable television show, or was he merely in a few recurring, but not major, roles? I see no significant roles listed on his IMDb, and outside of that non-reliable source, I find nothing on his supposed Emmy nominations. لenna  vecia  22:47, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be notable, and article is well written etc Fahrenheit  20:19, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No indication of notability. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 05:32, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep appears to meet WP:ENTERTAINER depending on the definition of "significant". Hobit (talk) 15:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
