Hal Gordon was an English actor born in London, England, UK, on April 16, 1894. Throughout his career, he was credited with 74 works. He is recognized for his roles in films such as When Knights Were Bold and My Song Goes Round the World.

Checking Word Count: The draft above is very short (approx 65 words). I need to reach 180-260 words.
Problem: The sources are extremely sparse. I cannot invent details to reach the word count. I must stick to the facts. If the facts don't allow for 180 words, I have a conflict between "Use ONLY facts" and "Write a 180-260 word career overview".
Re-evaluating Sources:
TMDB: 74 credits, born April 16, 1894, died Jan 1, 1946, London.
Wikipedia: English actor, When Knights Were Bold, My Song Goes Round the World.
Constraint Check: "Use ONLY facts present above. Do not invent roles, dates, awards, relationships or personal details."
Constraint Check: "Write a 180-260 word career overview..."
Strategy: I will expand on the available facts using neutral, encyclopedic phrasing to try and approach the minimum word count without violating the "no invention" rule. However, if I strictly follow "no invention," I cannot reach 180 words because there simply isn't enough information.
Wait, let me look closer at the sources.
