Serious BLP violation as this is entirely unsourced. I did a BEFORE to see if I can add or cite anything, but I can't find any sources published about the subject himself. From what I can tell, WP:NACTOR is also a reach, as most roles linking here seem to be guest starring appearances or supporting/minor roles. The more significant ones only appear to possibly be Truckers (he's a bit further down the IMDb credit list, so not sure there) and Birth of the Beatles (maybe?). If you find anything, please ping me, as I'm happy to withdraw if my search was simply insufficient. 2pou (talk) 18:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2pou: His roles in The Bill, in the Beatles biopic as Ringo Starr, for example, can be called significant. Added a few other things. And will add more. Honestly, he seems to meet fairly the criterion for actors. Best,-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 19:35, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Added a few sources for verification. Can be improved but I think he meets WP:NACTOR, as having "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows".-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 19:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the additional information and sources provided by Mushy Yank. Toughpigs (talk) 02:12, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - withdraw - I withdraw my nomination thanks to some of the work above. We still need to remove his unsourced birthday, but that's easy. -2pou (talk) 08:04, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
