Comment: For an actor to be notable enough to merit its own article, he needs to have had significant roles in multiple notable films. The article doesn't show that.The article needs better sources. For example: Screen Rant is a marginally reliable source. Horror News is not a reliable source. Social media sites are not reliable sources. Zedfest and This Is My Brave are not independent sources. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 17:48, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
