Joey Halter is a Los Angeles–based musician and actor known for his work in independent films such as Jerry Powell and I’ll Be Around. A recurring presence in character-driven underground productions, Halter is recognized for performances that feel volatile, off-kilter, and deeply personal. He is also the creator and performer of The Railroad Bill Show, a one-man live act that channels wacked-out early-’90s MTV energy through folk blues mythology, noise, and absurdist performance. Part musical act, part fever dream, the show has become a cult oddity, embracing spectacle, humor, and deliberate excess while rejecting conventional structure. Halter’s work across film and music reflects a commitment to outsider expression and creative risk, making him a natural fit for projects that value instinct, strangeness, and personality over polish.

Shape of the crowd
2 of their 4 titles are Divisive.
- Divisive2
- Mixed2
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.
