Biography from TheMovieDB

Chen Han Wei kick started his career in the entertainment industry when he became a finalist in the first Star Search in 1988, Singapore’s bi-annual talent search. Since then this veteran actor has come a long way, playing the male lead in numerous television drama serials and telemovies. This six-time Best Actor and two-time Best Supporting Actor winner at the Star Awards first rose to fame with his portrayal of a caring teacher in “The Morning Express” in 1995. The serial was immensely popular that it immediately spawned a sequel within the same year. Han Wei’s versatility included singing, showcasing his voice in the theme song for the telemovie “Cupid Love”. He also recorded several songs for The Morning Express album series.  To top this, Han Wei made his silver screen debut in 2013 in the horror flick “Ghost Child”. In 2014, he was the recipient of the All-Time Favourite Artiste award at Star Awards after clinching his 10th popularity award. In 2019 he got his 6th Best Actor award. This multi-talented craftsman continues to make his mark in the local television industry to wide public appreciation and approval.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
