Actor · Born May 10, 1977 (49) · Madrid, Spain

Rafael Hugo Fernández Silva (born 10 May 1977) is a Spanish actor. Silva was born in Madrid's San Blas district. He began working as an electrician but, with his mother's encouragement, soon decided to try to be an actor.

In the late 90's he had the opportunity to participate in the Spanish television program Crónicas Marcianas, helping him obtain some recognition. He was then given a leading role hit television series Al Salir de Clase, based on the lives of Spanish high school students.

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.
