WP:BLP of a child actor, not citing adequate reliable source coverage about him to support an WP:NACTOR pass. This is staking notability entirely on one regular role, but if you're going for "notable because he's been in stuff" NACTOR requires multiple stuffs and not just one -- and the only references are a primary source profile and a single piece of media coverage which mentions his initial casting in the show but fails to be about him to any significant or substantive degree. As always, every actor who exists does not get an automatic free pass over NACTOR just because the article lists roles -- he passes NACTOR when a significant volume of media coverage about him can be shown to support the article. And furthermore, due to the potential of a Wikipedia article to cause harm to its subject if we're not careful, we have a standing practice of being especially vigilant about the notability of minors. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when proper sources are available to support it -- but if you have to rely on a single routine casting announcement for just one role as the sum total of the sourcing, then it's WP:TOOSOON.
