Alex Knight

Actor

Classically trained in performing arts, Alex Knight graduated from the University of New Mexico with a BFA in theatre. Alex has spent the last 20 years directing, teaching and performing improv across the globe. After a successful stint with the Los Angeles improv community, he is now the artistic director of The Box Improv Theater in Albuquerque NM. Alex is a comedian and can be seen improvising in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, or on the now dusty but still amazing, Enter the Dojo on Youtube. Despite his comedy chops, he continues getting work as a serious actor and you can see him play bad men in Preacher, Big Sky and Narcos Mexico. On the legitimate stage, he has performed original (devised) theater in countries around the world including Poland, Canada, Uganda, Ukraine, Colombia, Scotland and Serbia. In addition to performing, Alex Knight is a professional painter (mostly watercolors), amateur volleyball player and all around nice human.

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.
