- Comment: Right now, all sources don't go into depth on Daniels (WP:Significant coverage) or are interviews (WP:INTERVIEW). You may want to wait a few months until after the show is released, then he will satisfy the actor notability guideline. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 23:15, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
