[1] and "Basically, I got married for the first time after a relationship I had many years. My ex-wife wanted me not to be a comedian, so I stopped [...] Eventually, we broke up [...] Completely devastated, broke with only $900 and a jalopy I drove from Ottawa to Toronto, worked in a restaurant and started attending acting seminars again.

Overall: The DYK check tool does not consider this 5x expanded, but examining the readable prose before the stated expand date (258 characters) and what it is currently (2652 characters) that is a 5x expansion. The checker also classifies the article as a stub although it is over the 1500 character needed. -
