Rupert Degas
Actor · Born August 17, 1970 (56) · London, England, UK
Having been raised and educated in London and New York, Rupert began his career dubbing films as apprentice to 'the man of a thousand voices' Robert Rietty. BBC Radio followed, where Rupert honed his craft with, among others, maverick director Dirk Maggs, appearing in some 50 radio productions. A natural mimic, Rupert was soon in demand as a voice actor in video-games and animation, spending eight years on Bob the Builder and working regularly for the likes of Turner, Disney, LucasArts, EA Games and Sony. When the world of advertising came knocking, he quickly became one of the most sought after voice actors in London, working on hundreds of campaigns with some of the world's top agencies. He has also voiced over 5000 TV and radio promos. Rupert has won critical acclaim in the UK, Australia, and the US for his prolific audiobook work, having narrated over 250 titles, and as an actor he has appeared frequently on stage and screen, most notably in the West End productions of 'Stones in his Pockets' and 'The 39 Steps', for which he and his fellow cast members won the 2007 Olivier Award for Best Comedy. In 2012 Rupert moved to Sydney, where he continues to work behind the microphone.

Shape of the crowd
8 of their 12 titles are Mixed.
- Divisive2
- Crowd Pleaser2
- Mixed8
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.
