• Opening sentence is a little short, could be expanded to say what kind of actor perhaps?
  •  Done. KyleJoan^talk
• "debut as a child actor and stage debut " not keen on the quick repetition of debut.

That's all I have for now, so it's on hold. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 14:27, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

I believe I made all of the suggested changes, The Rambling Man. Please let me know if there are any others you would like made. Thank you very much! KyleJoan^talk 06:23, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

KyleJoan thanks for all those updates. Just one more thing: while I very much appreciate the accessibility applied to the tables, I think the row scopes should be on the film/television series/etc rather than the year? It's not essential and not part of GA criteria so I'm passing this anyway, just if you could find time to move those scopes it would be brilliant. Good work.
