William Castrogiovanni

Actor, also producer

Known for playing level-headed, whimsical, and spirited problem-solvers, William Castrogiovanni is the go-to geek for cult sci-fi and indie comedy productions. He's hacked into alien warships as the dogged Major Fry in "Independents' Day," plotted savage revenge as a pretentious author in "True Nightmares," and achieved perfect continuity as a meek script supervisor in "The Hollywouldn'ts." Next up, he will appear as a passionate economics professor in the comedy short "Demand Curve." William holds a BFA in Film and Television Production from NYU, has studied acting at UCLA and Playhouse West, and is a UCB and Second City LA Conservatory graduate.

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.
