Shout-out to @cnole68 , who was officially the first to know that I'm in a Fox Sports World Cup promo. (I sure as hell didn't know -- the camera wasn't anywhere near me that day.)
I uh... messed up, gang.
Earlier today I was in my 100th vertical drama series, @gingerbreadmanpic 's upcoming "Pregnant with My Nemesis."
For a long time, I was thinking that when I hit 100 verticals, I should hold up a sign like Wilt Chamberlain did to celebrate his 100-point game. But I lost count, and now this is what you get.

By the time you read this, my score will have probably already changed – that happens every Sunday night. But I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about my new all-time best STARmeter score of 25,726. What does that mean? Well, let's talk about my (meaningless, stupid, easily manipulated) score.
In case you're new here, IMDb – a website which endeavors to track every film and television project – maintains a number they call the “STARmeter.” Every actor who has ever appeared in any filmed project that has made its way onto IMDb has a STARmeter score. And counter to your expectations, you want a very low number. The lower your score, the higher the wattage of your proverbial stardom.
Who's #1 on the list this week? Robert Carradine. Like I said last week, the best way to increase your STARmeter, albeit temporarily, is to die. But I'm always more interested in the LAST place person on the list. And this week, that honor belongs to Samantha Martin, the 15,131,955th-ranked celebrity on all of IMDb. She produced the Australian mystery short film Queen of Hearts in 2010, and appeared in it as Body #2. And she neither appeared in nor produced anything after that. But I hope she had a good time.
But back to my score. So how does this happen? Why am I passing so many great and historic industry names? Simply put, it's because of YOU, the fans, smashing that link to my profile (/name/nm7004863/) every week, every day, every time you open your browser!
With no further ado, please allow me to tell you about some of the more talented, more famous, and more successful people whose STARmeter scores have somehow fallen below mine this week.
Some people would say that this is a very misleading thumbnail.
Anyway. If any of you ever find a complete copy of Gamma Time's "Mommy & Daddy Are Missing!" online, please feel free to send it my way. I've only ever seen this snippet.
We reached a new all-time high score of 27,307 this week.

Okay. Let's talk about my (meaningless, stupid, easily manipulated) STARmeter score! I sit at 31,300 this week, which is, I believe, my best score of 2026 so far.
