Although Van was born in San Luis Obispo, California, he spent a couple of years living with his family in South Korea, and then finally settled in Leesville, Louisiana. While growing up in a small town, Van spent most of his time playing sports, mostly football. While in middle school he watched a performance of "Little Shop Of Horrors" and was blown away. When he reached high school, he was playing Football in the fall and being involved in the school's musical in the spring. He changed his major in his first semester of college from journalism to theatre, deciding to pursue a degree in acting.

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.
