Please can the page for William Spetz be updated? It is no longer accurate. Could we update to the below?
William Spetz (born 4 April 1996 in Umeå, Sweden) is a Swedish actor and screenwriter. William Spetz grew up in the north of Sweden and began his career at 15 years old by creating comedy videos on YouTube. His blend of observational humor, relatable anecdotes, and quirky characters quickly resonated with viewers, helping him collect a substantial following on the platform with a total of over 20 million views. After that, William Spetz ventured into traditional media, where he started appearing in television, film and on stage.
In November 2015, it was announced by SVT that Spetz would be one of the co-hosts alongside Gina Dirawi for the final of Melodifestivalen 2016, making him the youngest host in history.
In 2019, Spetz starred as Samir Said in the Swedish Netflix original series Quicksand and in 2022, Netflix announced TORE, a 6-episode original dramedy series which Spetz created, wrote and stars in. TORE is scheduled to launch globally October 27, 2023. Hellofrank832809 ( talk) 09:40, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I have removed my previous comments regarding the procedure to update outdated informations in order to include a clean request. Please change his role from 'comedian and television personality' to 'actor and screenwriter' (source: https://theeurotvplace.com/2022/12/tore-netflix-announces-new-swedish-dramedy-series/ and https://cineuropa.org/en/newsdetail/450324/)
thank you MP1210 ( talk) 14:34, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
I think it may be too early in the subject's career to label them as a screenwriter. That leaves the only label under question being that of "actor". Acting as a television personality in the past, combined with the two roles mentioned in the supplied references, might push the subject of the article closer to the "actor" label (as television personalities arguably "act" in their roles). It would benefit the request to see a numeric accounting of these roles: how many up to this point were as a "television personality" and how many were in the type of fictionalized roles that the term actor traditionally applies to. I'm assuming the term "comedian" applies to the subject's comedic "television personality" content. If those roles outweigh the traditional actor roles that the subject has recently undertaken, then that label shouldn't be removed in place of a label that is only justified by a smaller number of newer content (the aforementioned two actor roles provided by the references). Taking all of that into consideration, I don't think there's enough information justifying a change of titles just yet. Regards, Spintendo 05:26, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
