Source [2]:
Discusses Nonso Anozie. Mentions "Jackson Burke in The Grey" and "Elijah 1 episode".
Wait, looking closely at Source [2]: "Nonso Anozie... was cast as Jackson Burke in The Grey... Outcasts Elijah 1 episode...".
Crucial distinction: Source [2] is about Nonso Anozie. It mentions a character named "Jackson Burke" and an "Elijah" episode. It does not state that Elijah Burke (the wrestler/actor from Source [1]) played these roles. In fact, Source [2] is about Nonso Anozie. I must be careful not to attribute Nonso Anozie's roles to Elijah Burke.
Source [1] explicitly lists Elijah Burke's known credits as 43 and says he is known for acting.
Elijah Samuel Burke is an American professional wrestler.
He is known for his work in World Wrestling Entertainment, where he performed under his real name.
He is also known for his work in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the name The Pope D'Angelo Dinero.
This persona involved a gimmick portraying a Harlem street preacher.
He has 43 known credits.
He was born on May 24, 1978.
Self-Correction on Source [2]: Source [2] says "Nonso Anozie... was cast as Jackson Burke in The Grey... Outcasts Elijah 1 episode". This does not link Elijah Burke to these roles. It links Nonso Anozie to a character named Jackson Burke and an episode titled Elijah. Therefore, I cannot include these in Elijah Burke's biography.
