Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Barrett (actor)
I am still working on the table of stage performances, as well as adding info and sources to the article. I will add the stage table when it's more finished. He definitely meets #1 - he played main roles at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in several notable productions, including the Edward Bond plays ''Saved (play)|Saved'' and ''Early Morning''  in 1969; Barry Hines' play ''Billy's Last Stand'' in 1970; David Storey's play ''The Changing Room'' in 1971; and got attention as the gravedigger in ''Hamlet'' in 1980. There are comments in reviews like "Both John Barrett as Billy and Ian McKellen as Darkly give powerful performances, each sombre, thoughtful, balanced and real"; "The acting is first-rate. ... John Barrett is wonderfully solid and self-satisfied at the start as an innocent faced by capitalism; and in his final gritty resignation to his fate the actor never puts an eyelid wrong." "John Barrett as the butler, who, while never going beyond the bounds of correctness, can express his views of his employers with the twitch of an eyebrow or the set of a shoulder." And some of his TV appearances are also main roles, and got critical attention, eg in the Alan Bennett play ''Rolling Home'': "John Barrett as Joey managed his day-dreams and disgruntlement, relieved from time to time by toothless smiles, with complete conviction." I'll hopefully have the stage and bio info ready for the article soon (there's also an extra 20 years of his stage career that's not included in the info box yet
