Linc Hand

Actor · Birmingham - Alabama - USA

Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Linc Hand has been appearing in commercials, television programs, and feature films since he was six years old. After moving to Los Angeles, Linc began to explore his love of acting further by studying with legendary coach Howard Fine. A life-long athlete, Linc's love of sports was nurtured by his father at a young age. Linc excelled at football, basketball, and martial arts, but it would be baseball that ultimately brought Linc's passions together. Linc's natural athleticism made him a perfect fit to play Fritz Ostermueller, one of Jackie Robinson's primary antagonists in the 2013 hit feature, 42. Linc's television work has been seen on CBS, HBO, FX, and The CW. He was most recently seen on CBS's NCIS as Navy Petty Officer First Class Damien Hunter. Up next he'll be joining ABC's Revenge as a recurring character during the show's final 2013/14 story arc. Linc has been featured in numerous live comedy bits on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, and he worked side by side with Stephen Merchant in late 2013 when he guest starred on HBO's Hello Ladies. Linc's serious side can currently be seen starring alongside Adrian Grenier, Ben McKenzie, and Kid Cudi in the 2014 feature, Goodbye World, which opened in limited release on April 5, 2014.

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.
