What a waste of 4 minutes.

He's not an actor. No acting credits in that IMDB page, which was just glossed over by the idiot that made that video.

This is confirmation bias, again.

He is an extra. Very small roles. If you go to the movies linked, he's listed in the credits.

I'm afraid that's not terribly convincing. He's not an actor.

I know right? The guy just has an imdb page and got credits in multiple films, but who doesn't? That's just like an average everyday gig that everyone does, like working at a pizza joint or something. People here are so behind the times that they don't even realize imdb is like the new linkedin now. Hell, I bet even you have more film credits on your imdb page than that "actor" guy, amirite?

Millions of people have an IMDB page:

7.6 million personalities in its database

Confirmation bias.

Confirmation bias.

You keep using that term. I don't think that means what you think it means:

Confirmation Bias: the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses

You're the person claiming that the person listed on a film industry database that includes cast and production crews (according to your very own wikipedia link), and is explicitly listed as having cast credits on films, such as this one:

https://archive.fo/KZu9t#selection-2649.1-2677.6

is not an "actor":

Actor: a person who acts in stage plays, motion pictures, television broadcasts, etc.

As for this:

7.6 million personalities in its database

The US has 325 million people. That's only 2.3% of the entire country's population represented on IMDB at best, since it's not even accounting for the fact that IMDB lists many non-americans as well. Therefore citing this "7.6 million" figure means nothing, and actively hurts your case.

These are inarguable FACTS. You can continue playing No True Scotsman as long as you want, but it is your bias that's preventing you from calling this guy an actor. Plain and simple.
