As the quintessential Navy Brat, McBride spent his formative years living a nomadic lifestyle, moving to such destinations as Hawaii, Florida, Panama, Guam and the Philippines. He relocated to Los Angeles in his twenties and dabbled in music, stunts, and ultimately writing and filmmaking. Aside from his popcorn movie franchise, Underworld, he has been hired to write both TV and Film, perform rewrites, and has sold numerous pitches for TV pilots, including three to HBO, two to AMC, and two to FTVS, among others.

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.
