The result was keep. The nominator, Davey2010, thinks it might be the case that tabloid sources cannot be used, however, our official guideline, Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, does not say that. Davey may be thinking of the essay Wikipedia:Potentially unreliable sources, but even that does not say do not use them. It merely says that they "should be used with caution, especially if they are making sensational claims." From Davey's later comments, I am taking it that he no longer supports deletion, even though he has not offered a bolded !vote. SpinningSpark 19:10, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Non notable actor, Can't find any evidence of notability, Fails NACTOR & GNG –Davey2010Talk 18:39, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
The article notes:
He thinks drama school was a waste of time, sneered when the teachers told him to dance with an imaginary ball and scored the lowest mark in the year when he graduated. But for "the boy most unlikely to succeed", Vincenzo Pellegrino is doing pretty well for himself.
Although he has since made a name for himself in Casualty, Where The Heart Is and now MIT: Murder Investigation Team, he is still angry about his time as a drama student.
...
Vince's grounded attitude is largely down to growing up in a struggling working-class family in Liverpool. His Italian dad Dino and mum Sylvia worked hard to send their three children to college. His sister Nicky, 38, is now a journalist in New Zealand and his brother Eduardo, 27, is doing a PhD in theoretical physics.
When Vince left Mosslands Comp with three A-levels, he didn't have a clue what he wanted to do. He was kicked off a sociology course at Birmingham Polytechnic after a few days and returned to Liverpool, then went to work alongside his dad at a fridge factory.
...
He was 23 when he finally decided acting was his dream job, but studying drama at Manchester Metropolitan University was a rude awakening.
The article notes:
He may play one of telly's most likeable guys, but Vincenzo Pellegrino says he'd prefer it if audiences hated him occasionally!
The Liverpudlian actor, now into his second series of Where The Heart Is as hunky nurse Chris Eckersley, isn't entirely happy with his nice guy image. But judging by his current storylines, he's not about to lose it.
...
So don't expect Chris to become a permanent Skelthwaite resident. He's happy to go back for another series, but anything longer term is doubtful for the actor, who's single and lives in Bristol.
...
When he's filming Where The Heart Is Vincenzo lives in a hotel in Huddersfield, and he has been guilty of the odd prank, including one which meant hotel guests being evacuated in the night!
The article notes:
NEW dad Vincenzo Pellegrino says he has the perfect incentive too work hard - his new baby daughter.
Daughter Hattie - short for Harriet - is now seven months old and the former Casualty and Holby City actor says she can already wind him around her tiny baby finger.
...
Vincenzo, whose Italian roots come from his father Dino, lied about his age to get his first TV role in Crocodile Shoes. He played an 18-year-old when he was, in fact, 26.
He went on to take up the role of hospital porter Derek "Sunny" Sunderland in Casualty and Holby City and now owns a house in Bristol where the programmes are filmed.
His medical credentials continued with him playing district nurse Chris Eckersley in ITV's Where the Heart Is and forensic scientist Dr Fergus Gallagher in MIT: Murder Investigation Team.
The article notes:
This article cannot be used to establish notability because it is an interview, but it can be used to verify information in the article.Casualty porter Derek 'Sunny' Sutherland is one of Vincenzo Pellegrino's first major TV roles. But he's no newcomer - Vincenzo starred in the movie Peggy Sue and also in Jimmy Nail's Country & Western saga, Crocodile Shoes.
Name: Vincenzo Pellegrino.
Age: 30.
