Assessment

I have re-assessed this as C-class. The article is well-written and hits the highlights of Short's career, but it needs much more detail and says almost nothing about his long acting career. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:11, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that there should not be so many refs in the WP:LEAD. If the refs are in the body below, you only need refs in the Lead for direct quotes. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
