Anglade has acted in many films, TV series and on stage. He plays a major role in the TF1 2022 French TV series Visions, which premiered at Canneseries that year. The series, directed by directed by Akim Isker, also stars Louane Emera, Soufiane Guerrab, and Julien Boisselier. On the 21st of August 2015, Anglade was a passenger on board the Paris-bound Thalys train that suffered an attempted attack. However, the assailant was subdued by other passengers. The event resulted in injuries to four passengers, including Anglade. He cut his hand while breaking the glass on the emergency alarm.

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.
