It was during his high school years that Benji Aflalo made his screen debut with the pilot episode of the sitcom "Raising Dad" (The WB 2001-02), though it wouldn't be until after graduating college in 2006 that he went on to properly begin his career in show business. Following graduation, Aflalo started as a stand-up comedian, and began accruing work as a professional comedy writer. Some of Aflalo's earliest writing credits include "The Burn with Jeff Ross" (Comedy Central 2012-13), "The Comedy Central Roast of James Franco" (Comedy Central 2013), and "The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber" (Comedy Central 2015). Around the same time, Aflalo co-wrote and co-starred in the comedic short film "Alone Together" (2015) with Esther Povitsky, about a mismatched pair of young adults traversing the world together. Two years after the short's production, it would go on to inspire a half-hour comedy series. Aflalo and Povitsky were once again cast as leads in "Alone Together" (Freeform 2018-), which was this time produced by Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island colleagues Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone.

Shape of the crowd
4 of their 6 titles are Mixed.
- Divisive1
- Crowd Pleaser1
- Mixed4
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.
