Timothy Christopher Hayes was the first of three sons born to Tim Hayes, an executive for Bayer Healthcare, and Susan Hayes, an interior refiner. Though Hayes took his first breaths in San Antonio, Texas, his time in the Lone Star State would be short-lived, due to the demands of his father's career. In fact, Hayes moved around to 8 different states as a child before eventually settling in Chester, New Jersey at the age of 10.

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.
