Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fat actors
please note that the "essay" was a chapter in a published book, which should satisfy . The term used for the genre varied over the years. In the obituaries of many of these men or in reviews from the 40's they were often referred to as "rotund character actor" or "roly poly charactor actor" which seem more objectionable than "fat" but if the collective wisdom is to term the genre "obese" I could live with that. It was and is clearly treated as a genre like "leading man" in reviews and casting calls. At present it is still a genre. The IMDB bio of John Banner refers to him as "roly poly character actor" http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0052308/bio. Ditto for Buck Taylor http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0852076/bio. Please check the references for documentation of references to all the names listed as "roly poly " or "rotund" character actors
