| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject, illustrating a single educational article. It is virtually impossible to accurately describe the character for a sufficient picture in one's mind with mere words. This image is being used in the
infobox of the article, which is a quick run down of the most important aspects of the article. The image is of the character, an image of McCook would not depict the character in the correct way and would likely mislead general readers using the article for research. |

As a promotional (non-free) image, the image is not replaceable by free content; the copyright holders have not released similar images into public domain or allowed free use, and any other screenshot would be similarly copyrighted. While a free image of the actor could be
found, any such version is not true to the original character and would be inadequate for identification or commentary. |
