Career overview

Subject: John Waite (Acting career).
Constraints: Use only verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. No inventing, no guessing, no markdown, no headings, no bullet points, no preamble.
Target Length: 180-260 words.

Source [2] (Andrew Duggan): Mentions Andrew Duggan (American actor 1923-1988). Mentions Ralph Waite played John Walton in The Waltons. Mentions J. Edgar Hoover (1987) TV biography.

The prompt asks for a "career overview of John Waite (Acting)".
The sources provide very little on his acting.
Source [1] says "Known For: Acting" and "Known Credits: 12".
Source [1] also provides his musical background.
Source [2] mentions Ralph Waite, but I must not confuse him with John Waite.
I need to reach 180-260 words. This is a challenge because the provided text is very sparse on his acting specifically. I must stick to the facts.

Drafting Attempt 1:
John Charles Waite is an English musician born on June 4, 1952, in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, UK. As a solo artist, he has released ten studio albums. He is best known for the 1984 hit single Missing You, which reached the number one position on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top ten on the UK Singles Chart.

In addition to his musical career, Waite is recognized for his work in acting. According to his profile on The Movie Database, he has 12 known credits in this field.

Word Count Check: ~90 words. This is far below the 180-260 requirement.

Problem: The prompt requires 180-260 words, but the provided source material is extremely limited. If I follow the instruction "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot reach 180 words without violating the "no inventing/guessing" rule.

Wait, let me re-read the sources carefully.
