Overall: Article looks good, but I made some small tweaks to conform with MOS. The ALT0 is interesting and quick to the point, but ALT1 seems rather mundane for an actor. Do we have a birthdate from a reliable source, or at least an age pegged from a news article? Sounder Bruce 03:19, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

@SounderBruce:I am unsure of his birth date. If you query it on a google search it states "33 years, 4 October 1985" - I believe this is a result of his IMDB listing a birth date. I did not want to assume as anyone can edit IMDB. I am not familiar with Prezi, but this source states it too: [1]Rain the 1 16:04, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Prezi is a user-generated website (meant for hosting Powerpoints, akin to a cloud storage service rather than anything close to a RS). I'd imagine there's a newspaper article that talks about his age, which can be inputted alongside the article's date of publication into {{Birth based on age as of date}} to fill that gap.

Sadly I cannot find that much even to use that template. We will have to proceed without on this occasion.Rain the 1 10:03, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
