Being an understudy for a show, even one as popular as Hamilton, is not even close to being notable. JDDJS (talk) 23:58, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He also originated one of the smaller roles aside from being an understudy for the major ones. Ausir (talk) 07:55, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The role he originated is an extremely minor role that only appears in one scene, and he is still considered just to be an ensemble member. In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lexi Lawson (2nd nomination) it was agreed that being a replacement wasn't enough for notability. If a replacement isn't enough, understudy isn't even close to enough. JDDJS (talk) 19:18, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Harcourt's role, James Reynolds, is basically an ensemble role. He has never had a major Broadway role, and even when the cast changed, they did not move him up to a larger role, such as Aaron Burr, which he has understudied, along with two other covers. I don't know if this actor will ever be notable, but he is not notable yet. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:05, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. He does not meet the criteria specified in WP:ENT. The ensemble/understudy roles are not significant. He has not been in multiple productions. If he has a "large fan base" that has not been established. The article does not show any unique contribution by him. To sum, being in a mega-hit show does not confer notability on minor performers.
