Ted Travelstead is a writer, actor, and producer. He was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but moved frequently as a child, ending up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he attended high school, and college nearby (Old Dominion University). He discovered the theater two years into college and from there on out did nothing but plays. After an internship at a regional theater in New England post graduation, he made his way to New York City, where his inability to focus on just one thing landed him in rock bands, sketch groups, comedy writing for books/magazines, and eventually stand-up. After two decades in New York, he moved to Los Angeles in 2013 to write for the fourth and final season of "Wilfred."

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
