Problem: If I combine the writer and the actor, I am conflating two different people. The prompt specifically asks for "Stephen Elliott (Writing)".
Wait, looking at the prompt again: "Write a 90-130 word factual identity profile of Stephen Elliott (Writing)."
If I only use Source [1], I have almost no information to reach 90-130 words.
Source [1] says: Stephen Elliott is known for writing and has 6 known credits.
If I include the actor's info, I am technically violating the "Writing" specification
