Jeff Medley

Actor

Jeff Medley was traumatized by nearly having to perform in a gifted program production of MacBeth when he was a child. He finally decided to overcome lifelong stage fright in his mid 30s when he saw an audition poster for Missoula Community Theater's 2008 production of Jesus Christ Superstar. He became the aggressive leper ("see my purse I'm a poor poor man!"). It lead to bigger roles and soon he was a pretty big name... in Missoula, Montana. A few years later, he made his big screen debut yelling at children in a pivotal flashback in Winter in the Blood. Since then, he's been in a handful of talking dog movies, died violent deaths in another handful of films without talking dogs, and just loves pretending. He's ready for just about whatever you throw at him. Reach out.

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.
