@Raintheone: The article is new enough, long enough, stable, and the body is adequately sourced. Right now, the filmography doesn't have any footnotes, and while all roles there are also mentioned in the article text, I'd suggest copying footnotes there as well to prevent confusion. Was unable to find any close paraphrasing. A QPQ has been accomplished. Of the two hooks, the first one is probably the better option and would be of most interest to our predominantly non-Australian readerbase. There are just some things that need to be acknowledged before I can approve this: in addition to the filmography table issue, is there no information about at least a year of birth? In addition, I'd suggest linking to Australian rules football at the first mention of "football"; I know the AFL exists and is linked, but many readers might assume that "football" refers to soccer and not Aussie rules, or that "AFL" refers to American football.

- @Narutolovehinata5: - I changed the first instance of football so it links to the AFL article. I could not find an actual birthdate or concrete birth year. I used the template to work out his date of birth year approx. I included a source too. As you mentioned, the roles are already sourced. In general a filmography does not need to be sourced if those roles are already backed up. Per WP:FILMOGRAPHY it states "Source: This is an optional field that is to be used when a work may be obscure or difficult to confirm."Rain the 1 01:29, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks. I very much apologize for the delay as real-life matters caught up with me. I don't there are any remaining issues and the ones I raised have been resolved; this is now good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:09, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
