A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Scott Quoc Ly
Birthplace:
Houston, Texas, USA
Born:
April 2, 1978
Ly's family were boat refugees out of Vietnam right after the fall of Saigon in April 1975. Scott, the youngest of four children, is the first born in America, in Houston Texas. However, he was raised and considers the San Gabriel Valley, Southern California his hometown. As a natural born athlete, he was the captain of his high school's basketball and wrestling teams. Scott went on to be an expert fighter with dedication and training influenced by the late Bruce Lee. Scott's dedication led him to his daily practice of circuit training, yoga, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA pursuits. His passion for performing on stage and in front of the camera led him to his craft for acting as his main focus.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
