Career overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Goal: Write a career overview of David Bradley (Acting).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 4: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 5: Length 180-260 words.

Source [1] (TMDB Bio/Info): David Bradley is an American actor and martial artist. Known for starring in low-budget action movies beginning in the late 1980s. Best-known films are the American Ninja sequels. Birthday: October 2, 1953. Place of Birth: Texas, USA. Known credits: 16.
Source [2] (Wikipedia): In 2013, Bradley played William Hartnell, an actor who played the First Doctor, in the drama Doctor Who – An Adventure in Space and Time.
Source [3] (ČSFD): General link, no specific facts.
Source [4] (Kinobox): Famous for films Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Our Friends in the North.
Source [5] (FDb.cz): British actor. Born September 27, 1953 in Barnsley, Great Britain.

Conflict Check:
Source [1] says American actor, born Oct 2, 1953 in Texas.
Source [5] says British actor, born Sept 27, 1953 in Barnsley, Great Britain.
Decision: As an archivist, I must report what the sources say. Since they conflict, I will present the information provided by the specific sources without choosing one over the other, or I will note the discrepancy if necessary, but usually, in a biography, I should state the facts as they appear. However, the prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview".
Wait, the prompt asks for a career overview.
Source [1] claims he is an American actor/martial artist known for American Ninja sequels.
Source [4] and [5] claim he is a British actor known for Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, etc.
This is a classic case of two different people named David Bradley.
Strict adherence to prompt: "Write a 180-260 word career overview of David Bradley (Acting) in 2-3 short paragraphs."
If I combine them, it will look like one person who is both an American martial artist and a British actor in Game of Thrones. That is factually incorrect in reality, but the prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above."
Actually, looking at the sources:
Source [1] is a TMDB bio for an American actor.
Source [2], [4], [5] are about the British actor.
If I write a single biography, it will be a mess of contradictions.
However, as an archivist, I should probably acknowledge the different profiles or simply present the information provided.
Let's look at the content:
Profile A (Source 1): American actor and martial artist. Known for low-budget action movies starting in the late 1980s, specifically the American Ninja sequels. Born October 2, 1953, in Texas, USA.
Profile B (Sources 2, 4, 5): British actor. Born September 27, 1953, in Barnsley, Great Britain. Known for Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of
