Craig Cole

Birthplace:
Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska to Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Lucas Cole Jr. and Alberta Cole a member of the Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame, Craig and his family lived all over the country throughout his early childhood. He eventually landed in Texas where he attended Arlington Martin High School and excelled in both track and football gaining all district honors. Earning a football scholarship he went to Navarro College and received all conference honors. Craig then transferred to Arizona State on another football scholarship and eventually settled at Abilene Christian University. There he was once again named all conference and led his team in all purpose yards and all receiving categories for two consecutive years. After graduating he joined the Arena Football League and played for 7 different organizations. His notoriety in the Arena League gave him the opportunity to do team and local commercial spots. It was these spots that renewed yet another lifelong dream of his, to work in the entertainment industry. Since retiring from football Craig has worked as international print model and has been featured in over 50 commercials. This led to work as an actor and stuntman on the hit FOX show "Prison Break." Since he has appeared in or worked on 10 short films, 12 feature length films and 70 network television episodes on such shows as AMC's "The Walking Dead," CBS's "Walker Texas Ranger," NBC's "Chase," FOX's "Good Guys," and A&E's "Breakout Kings." Along with his work as an actor, stuntman, and producer, Craig has also coached and mentored thousands of kids for the National Junior Tennis League, a non-profit organization under the United States Tennis Association.

The Search Form


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.
