If you caught the drama serial "A Life of Hope", then you will undoubtedly remember the charismatic performance by Elvin Ng. His first major role in his first production, Elvin captured the hearts of many fans playing the character LiangYi an endearing, good-natured and filial hooligan, and loan shark runner born into adverse conditions and compelled by external circumstances. Elvin graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree in English Literature. Despite being an English Literature major, he is equally proficient in both Mandarin and English. His talents include writing, drawing and various sports especially soccer and swimming. He was involved with inter-constituency soccer at a semi-professional level for a number of years. Elvin's image versatility is a bonus for his acting career, making him equally convincing as the evil antagonist or your great-guy next door. This, coupled Elvin's willingness to learn and his humble demeanour, has put him in good stead for a bright and promising career. It was not surprising then that Elvin became the first Mediacorp Artiste to be invited by Cambodia TV network to be involved in their TV production in 2014 as the male lead to overwhelming response. He also won the hearts of many and emerged as the winner for the first Cambodia PPCTV Mediacorp Awards favourite male lead and male character. Elvin is also the youngest male artiste to receive the "All-Time Favourite" Award in 2017 Star Awards after winning 10 times in a row in the Top 10 most popular artistes during his 10 years in showbiz. Elvin has always a heart towards people with Autism and have always wanted to do more to create more awareness for the cause. He was appointed as the Ambassador for Autism Association for Singapore since 2017. In 2019, Elvin did his 1st co-production "All is Well" between Singapore and Taiwan and received good reviews.
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.
