This might be a hoax and if not would appear anyway to be a vanity page. How can one person be cast as both a baby and an adult character in the Lord of the Rings films? I can't find anything to substantiate the claims that this person was in the LOTR trilogy or in Shortland Street or the musicals listed. I couldn't find a reference to his Shortland Street character on the official Shortland Street website.
Even if the claimed film and TV appearances are true, they hardly seem enough to make this guy notable. Jules1975 20:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. The Lord of the Rings film trilogy were shot in the same period of time which makes it improbable that the same actor would play a toddler in one movie and an adult in another. According to this article, he was three when he played his role as a toddler which makes it 1991 while the film did not start filming before 1999. There is no verifiable evidence to support the claims in the article and no other claim to notability in it. Capitalistroadster 01:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

- Delete There's no mention of him in any NZ newspapers (using Newztext Plus) so the article's information is probably unverifiable. And seeing as I live in the same town and have never heard of him, I think I can dispute the "his face was well known in the Manawatu area" part as well. Ziggurat 02:14, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, likely hoax and if not then vanity.-gadfium 05:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
