Comment: I've removed the birthdate and the little note at the bottom explaining the sourcing issues. I don't see it in the sources, I see a lot of WP:SYNTH about how old when he was cast, but there isn't even enough concrete dates here to use {{Birth based on age as of date}}. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 18:17, 5 May 2026 (UTC)I've found a better source and used that with the appropriate template. Thanks. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 18:29, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
