Thank you for your help. Since the theatrical release of Crime 101 (Feb 13, 2026), it has been confirmed that the character "Elmquist" was removed from the final cut. To ensure accuracy, I would like to simplify and revise my previous request:

Please remove the sentence at the end of the Career section regarding Crime 101.

Please omit the Crime 101 entry from the proposed filmography table.

Essentially, I am requesting the filmography table as previously listed, but without the Crime 101 row.

Thank you! Marissahall (talk) 18:05, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
