Sky grew up in Pittsburgh and spent his formative years Studying Jazz and Classical Music. He attended the Berkley School of Music in Boston and studied privately with famed Weather Report Bass Player Miroslav Vitous. After college Sky formed his own band Seventh House and went on the road opening for such artists as Fishbone, Dave Matthews Band, Bob Seger and many more. This landed Sky a record deal with Atlantic Records and a debut album entitled 412, an homage to his hometown of Pittsburgh. Although short lived the contract with Atlantic brought Sky to Los Angeles where he immediately pursued an acting career. Luck had it that Sky would meet Director Jared Hess and land a supporting role in the movie Don Verdean working alongside Sam Rockwell, Will Forte, Danny Mcbride and Leslie Bibb. The ball kept rolling and Sky landed a starring role in Jim Hosking's breakout Cult Classic The Greasy Strangler and subsequently appeared in all of Hosking's follow up films. Sky is also a lover of dogs, grapes and Disco.

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.
