Hello,@ Melcous: you don’t think he fairly meets WP:DIRECTOR? And that what’s in the page (although still limited) shows enough to back this claim? As for other sources, sure, the page, as all pages, can be improved but I’d rather remove alleged (but certainly accurate) DOB and aspects of his personal life and the tag. The page being a start-class article is ...a start. Best, - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 16:33, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks to @Mushy_Yank and others for helping to make this article more accurate and more complete. For anyone interested in continuing to improve this article, I have many citations and info to provide. I will start by offering here a few citations for articles and interviews that cover my general career going back decades. I also have many citations for specific films, TV shows, awards, etc, but I can deal with them in another posting if there is interest.
