Aaron Blabey

Writer and producer · Born January 1, 1974 (52) · Bendigo, Victoria, Australia

Aaron Blabey (born January 1, 1974) is an Australian author of children's books and former actor in television and film roles throughout the 1990s and 2000s. From the mid-2000s, Blabey turned his attention away from acting and towards painting and created six separate solo exhibitions across Australia between 2004 and 2006. He is the creator of three best-selling children's series; Pig the Pug – a picture book series about a rude, selfish, mean-spirited little dog; The Bad Guys – a New York Times #1 bestselling graphic novel series for junior readers about a gang of scary-looking animals trying to change their bad reputations; and Thelma the Unicorn – a second picture book series about a plain little pony who pretends to be a unicorn. He married an Australian actress and speech pathologist Kirstie Hutton in 2000.

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.
