Mingus Johnston

Actor · Born October 27, 1974 (51) · Inverness, Scotland, UK

Born on October 27th, 1974, Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland, actor Mingus Johnston is the middle of three boys from former politician, Lord Russell & Lady Johnston. Rebelled as a child and was constantly getting into mischief. At the age of 18 decided to go see what the world had to offer. Following spells living in England, Australia and Sweden Mingus settled in Rome, Italy, where he got his first real taste for acting in an amateur acting society to help Italians learn English through acting. Having performed in a rendition of West Side Story as one of the Jets, run the Rome marathon in his kilt and speaking fluent Italian, Mingus returned to the UK to study drama. His first break was Jack The Giant Slayer (2013) which quickly lead to another Singer production, Uwantme2killhim?(2013) followed by, The List (2013), Mission Impossible 5 Rogue Nation (2015) and Kingsman : The Golden Circle (2017). Most recently, All The Devils Men (2018) & the hilarious, Cannibals & Carpet Fitters (2018).

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.
