Actor · Born August 10, 1972 (54) · White Plains, New York, USA

Michael McGlone (born August 10, 1972) is an American actor, singer and songwriter. He is perhaps best known as the film noiresque spokesman for GEICO insurance posing rhetorical questions in the vein of Robert Stack or Rod Serling, which are then acted out in humorous fashion. McGlone's best-known film credits include two castings as actor Edward Burns's brother in 1995's "The Brothers McMullen" and 1996's "She's the One" (opposite Jennifer Aniston). He has also had large supporting roles in the 1998 crime film "One Tough Cop" opposite Stephen Baldwin and Chris Penn, and the 1999 thriller "The Bone Collector" which starred Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. On television, McGlone's credits include "Crash" on the StarzNetwork and "The Kill Point" on the cable channel Spike TV. Voice-over credits include TLC's "Trauma: Life in the E.R.", Court TV's "I, Detective", and The History Channel series "Dead Reckoning." He has also acted on stage. His writing credits include the novels "And All the Roses Dying...", "Dice", and "Hourigan's Song". He has recorded and produced two albums, Hero (1999) and To Be Down (2002).

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.
