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.
