Facts available:

Doug Spearman, also known as Douglas Spearman, is an actor.
He was born on September 3, 1962, in Washington, District of Columbia, USA.
He has 26 known credits in his career.
The source material is extremely sparse. It only contains basic biographical data and the number of credits.
The user wants 180-260 words.
Problem: There are not enough facts in the source to reach 180-260 words without violating the "Use ONLY facts present above" and "Do not invent" rules.
If I write only the facts provided, the text will be about 30-40 words.
If I try to reach 180 words, I will have to repeat myself or use filler, which might violate the "encyclopedic prose" and "neutral" instructions. However, the prompt explicitly demands 180-260 words.

Let's re-examine the source:
Name: Doug Spearman / Douglas Spearman
Gender: Male
Birthday: September 3, 1962
Birthplace: Washington, District of Columbia, USA
Known For: Acting
Known Credits: 26

Drafting attempt 1 (Strictly factual):
Doug Spearman, who is also known as Douglas Spearman, is a male actor. He was born on September 3, 1962, in Washington, District of Columbia, USA. His career in the industry includes 26 known credits.

Word count check: ~35 words.

Constraint Conflict: The user asks for 180-260 words but provides only enough info for ~35 words. As an AI following strict instructions, I must prioritize "Use ONLY facts present above" and "Do not invent... details." If I invent words to meet the length, I violate the core instruction. If I don't meet the length, I violate the length instruction.

Strategy: In professional archiving/instruction following, "Use ONLY facts present" is the primary directive for accuracy. However, I can expand the prose by being more descriptive about the data points provided without inventing new facts.

Wait, looking at the source again:
"Known For: Acting"
"Known Credits: 26"
"Birthday: September 3, 1962 (64 years old)"
"Place of Birth: Washington, District of Columbia, USA"
"Also Known As: Douglas Spearman"

Drafting attempt 2 (Trying to expand without inventing):
Doug Spearman is an actor whose professional work is documented through 26 known credits. He is also identified by the name Douglas Spearman.

Born in Washington, District of Columbia, USA, Spearman's biographical information indicates a birth date of September 3, 1962. His gender is listed as male.

Word count check: ~45 words.

Decision: I cannot reach 180 words without inventing information (like specific movies, genres, or career milestones) or using extreme redundancy. I will provide the most complete overview possible using only the provided facts. I will try to stretch the phrasing
