Wait, the word count requirement is 180-260 words.
The provided source material is extremely sparse.
Let's re-examine the source material to see if I missed anything.
Source 1: Name (Robert Alastair Addie), Dates (10 Feb 1960 - 20 Nov 2003), Role (Sir Guy of Gisbourne), Show (Robin of Sherwood), Credits (28), Gender (Male), Birthday (Feb 10, 1960), Death (Nov 20, 2003, 43 years old), Birthplace (London, England).
Problem: The source material is insufficient to reach 180-260 words without violating the "never invent or guess" and "only verifiable facts" rules.
If I write only the facts provided, the text will be roughly 50-60 words.
The prompt asks for 180-260 words.
As an archivist, I must follow the instruction: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
This creates a conflict: The word count constraint vs. the factual constraint.
In professional instruction following, the "Negative Constraint" (Do not invent) and "Verifiable Facts" rule usually take precedence over "Length" because length can be achieved through padding, but padding often involves invention or repetition which violates the "encyclopedic" and "verifiable" rules. However, I should try to expand the prose as much as possible using the available facts without repeating myself or adding fluff.
Let's try to expand the prose using the available facts:
Robert Alastair Addie was an English actor who was born in London, England, on February 10, 1960. Throughout his career, he was recognized for his work in the field of acting, accumulating a total of 28 known credits.
