A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Pete D'Alessio
Pietro D'Alessio
Peter D'Alessio (or Pietro, as he is sometimes known) grew up in the little hamlet of Plant City, Florida (also known as the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World!), the youngest of 7 children. A graduate of Plant City High School, Pietro scored his first acting success with the town's local community theater in 1991 with a leading role in the play The Desk Set. From there, Pietro found himself on the fast track to success in the acting business. A move to Chicago in early 1992 quickly resulted in a recurring role on the syndicated television series The Untouchables, a breakthrough introduction to the industry that was soon followed by more film, television, and theater roles. Several years later, a move to Hollywood, California brought Pietro into the production side of the business, and he found himself with steady work as a casting director and producer on a variety of projects for many years. Returning to Plant City in 2001, Pietro opened up his own production company, Yo Soy Irini Productions. Under Pietro's guidance and leadership, Yo Soy Irini Productions experienced success from the start and brought new film and television projects to the central Florida area. After two years, Pietro felt the time was right to move on to other projects. He returned to Hollywood for a time, then took an extensive break from the industry to travel throughout Europe and work on his writing. Feeling refreshed and renewed by his European travels, Pietro headed back to the states and has now jumped back into the acting pool head first. Going back to his roots, Pietro has returned to his first love, Chicago, and is busily booking acting roles at a furious pace. He intends to make himself a lasting presence in the industry and is continually seeking out ways to build upon and improve in his chosen craft.

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.
