Keep. Roles don't need to be leading to contribute to notability. I added a reference about his appearance at a convention in Washington state. Here are a few more references: https://www.google.com/search?&q=%22Yee+Jee+Tso%22&tbs=bkt:s&tbm=bks Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:51, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

  The article notes: "When Yee Jee Tso was cast as Chang Lee in 1996’s Doctor Who TV Movie, he saw the role as just another job. He didn’t realise that, once Doctor Who gets its claws into you, it doesn’t let go easily. The series followed him and changed his life forever. ... now, 20 years on from the TV Movie, Yee Jee proves his own devotion to Doctor Who in a new book, Time and Spaces. At the heart of the book are a series of photographs taken by Yee Jee during the movie’s production, which, after laying forgotten in a box for years, are seeing the light of day here for the first time. The book also features snippets taken from Yee Jee’s collection of production documents, along with some new photos taken by the actor of locations used during filming in Vancouver, Canada, his home town."
  The article later notes: "Yee Jee latest acting job is in Birth of the Dragon, a movie telling the tale of action star Bruce Lee’s run-in with a Shaolin monk in 1960s San Francisco – but still his 20-year-old role in Doctor Who won’t let him go. In recent years, he’s starred (not as Chang Lee, but sometimes co-starring with Daphne Ashbrook) in four Doctor Who and Bernice Summerfield audio dramas for Big Finish Productions."

  The article notes: "When Vancouver actor Yee Jee Tso says he has seen his acting career come to life, it is not just a figure of speech. Tso starred in the Global CanWest teen television drama Madison as Twister, only to have the character die at the end of the show's first season in 1994. But the producers were so impressed by the 21-year-old actor that they used a little creative licence to bring him back to life in the current season as Twister's identical cousin, Grant Wong. "Usually, when you get killed off in a series, that's it," says Tso, who also recently completed work on a movie filming in Vancouver. He plays a street kid named Chang Lee in Doctor Who, which stars Paul McGann as the time-travelling doctor in a Fox TV movie that carries on from where the British sci-fi series left off in 1989. "Things have really started coming together for me this year," says Tso. "It's good to be alive.""

  The article provides a few sentences of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "Vancouver actor Yee Jee Tso had a substantial supporting role in the movie Antitrust. He was also a regular on TV's Madison and has appeared in other films and television. Tso's about to star on stage in Wild Abandon, previewing April 20–21 at the The Loft Theatre, then moving to The Havana Theatre."

  The article notes on page 9: "Yee Jee Tso provides solid support, but the movie is really about the Doctor and Grace ..."
  The article notes on page 58: "Wednesday 17 was the final day at Ogden Street and saw Eric Roberts and Yee led Tso joining the cast for a night shoot from 4pm ... Playing Chang Lee was Yee Tso, a Hong Kong-born actor who grew up in Vancouver. Tso had been a regular in Madison and had a recurring role in Fox's Sliders as Wing; he had done a lot of stage work and had met Roberts briefly when they had worked on the TV movie Past Perfect. The actor recalled enjoying some of the Tom Baker Doctor Who serials he had seen as a child."

  The review notes: "Until Milo's exodus, he and partner Teddy (Yee Jee Tso) were garage-dwelling geeks on the precipice of their own convergence breakthrough. Having sworn to make the technology free, Teddy refuses to join Milo at NURV. A more courageous filmmaker might have cast Tso in Phillippe's role. Where Philippe is pouty and sleepy-eyed, Tso is spirited and percolating."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Yee Jee Tso (Chinese: 曹益吉) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
