Barry H. Waldman

Producer · New York City, New York, USA

Barry H. Waldman is an American film and television producer, unit production manager, and assistant director born and raised in New York City. After completing his studies at the University of Miami in Florida, he began working in the production field—initially as a production assistant, then progressing into assistant director roles on independent films under the oversight of a unit production manager. Waldman then transitioned into television production; among his early credits are the series Key West (1993) and Dead at 21 (1994). For Dead at 21 (1994), he was nominated in 1995 for a CableACE Award in the Dramatic Series category. He also won a Genesis Award for some of his television work. After producing the television movie Zooman for Showtime, he relocated to Los Angeles to focus on feature films. In Los Angeles, Waldman took on increasingly senior roles; Armageddon (1998) marked his second film as an associate producer and his fourth as unit production manager. Over time, he has been involved in many high-profile films and big-budget studio projects, often serving as executive producer or unit production manager.

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.
