Jim McKay

Career overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Write a 180-260 word career overview of Jim McKay (Acting).
Constraints:
Use ONLY verifiable facts from provided sources.
No invented titles, names, dates, etc.
Original, neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Plain text only (no markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points).
Word count: 180-260 words.
Structure: 2-3 short paragraphs.
Target Subject: Jim McKay (Acting).
[1] TMDB: Jim McKay, born Sept 24, 1921, died June 7, 2008 (86 years old). Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Known for acting. 17 known credits.
[2] IMDb: Born Sept 24, 1921, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Writer and actor. Known for ABC's Wide World of Sports (1961), Miracle (2004), and The Verdict Is Yours (1958).
[3] TMDB (duplicate/similar): Born Sept 24, 1921, Philadelphia, PA, USA as James Kenneth McManus. Writer and actor. Died June 7, 2008.
[4] Simple Wikipedia: James Kenneth McManus (Sept 24, 1921 – June 7, 2008). Professional name Jim McKay. American television sports journalist. Best known for hosting ABC's Wide World of Sports (1961–1998).
[5] Famegraph: Claims Jim McKay is 64 years old (contradicts other sources, but I must stick to the facts provided). Claims he is an actor, American film and television director, producer and writer. Directed episodes of The Wire, Treme, Better Call Saul, Big Love, Criminal Intent, Mr. Robot. Wrote/directed Everyday People and Angel Rodriguez.
Conflict Check: Source [5] describes a person who directed The Wire, Better Call Saul, etc. Source [1-4] describe a sports journalist/actor born in 1921. The prompt asks for a career overview of Jim McKay (Acting).
Wait: Source [5] is clearly a different person or a very different set of credits. However, the prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above." I must be careful. If I combine them, I might create a false biography.
Re-evaluating Source [5]: Source [5] says "Jim McKay is 64 years old... He has directed episodes of The Wire...". This person cannot be the same Jim McKay born in 1921 who died in 2008 (who would be 86).
Instructional Constraint: "Write a 180-260 word career overview of Jim McKay (Acting)".
Strategy: I will focus on the Jim McKay identified as the actor/writer/journalist from the primary sources [1-4]. I will include the credits mentioned in [2] and [4]. I will address the credits in [5] only if they can be attributed to "Jim McKay" as per the text, but since they contradict the age/death of the first Jim McKay, I should be cautious. However, the prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above."
Actually: If I include the "The Wire" director credits, I am following the text provided. But as an archivist, I know these are different people. But the prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above." It doesn't say "Use only facts that apply to the same person." However, a "career overview" implies a single subject.
Let's look at the credits for the actor/journalist:
Wide World of Sports (1961) - [2]
