Born Sept 10, 1970, in Los Angeles, California, Art Chudabala started his multi-faceted career as an actor starring opposite Christian Slater in the 1988 skateboarding cult classic "Gleaming the Cube". In the decades that followed he continued to act, guest starring on hit shows such as "The West Wing", "Six Feet Under", "ER", 'Boston Legal" and "Grey's Anatomy." In feature films, Art has worked for celebrated directors such as Kathryn Bigelow in "Strange Days", Irwin Winkler in "Life as a House", and for Steven Spielberg in "War of the Worlds." In 2004, Art received a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the ensemble cast of Paul Haggis' Best Picture Oscar-winner, "Crash." Inspired by these mentors, Art jumped behind the camera and into the trenches of indie films, working as a producer, director, and editor. His talent for storytelling led him to produce behind-the-scenes content for such properties as Sony Pictures' "Underworld" franchise, Showtime's "Californication" as well as his position as a staff editor at Paramount Pictures Studios. In 2017 Art directed the award-winning short, "The Anniversary" which screened at the Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival, Asians on Film Festival, North Hollywood Cinefest, Culver City Film Festival, and the Marina Del Rey Film Festival receiving awards for "Best Thriller Short" and "Best Editing". Fun Fact: Art was once invited to cook his family recipe for Thai BBQ alongside Bobby Flay on the Food Network hit "Grill It with Bobby Flay."

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.
