If only Wikipedia didn't have such a stupid notion as "notable" which basically translates as either writing as much as we can possible find to substantiate about someone, or writing nothing at all. A more sensible publication would probably write a paragraph or so about the actor with very basic details like what shows they'd appeared on and any future projects they were known to be interested in.
If the small-time actor is mentioned in referencable publications and has an editor who's willing to write a considerable article about them, then this is something we should aim to achieve.
I don't understand why it wouldn't be sensible to write a lengthy, sourced article (ignoring gossip and such) about such an actor.

Of course, this was an example to show Fred Bauder that there are people who don't have biographies written about them, but still have enough information available to write an article by using information from various sources.
