Randy Gray began singing and playing guitar at the age of 5. At age 7 he began acting. His first television appearances were on the Merv Griffin Show. He then became a spokesman for Dodge Trucks appearing in several TV commercials. HIs first (and only theatrical) movie was Truck Turner, where he had a non speaking role as the boy in the hospital near the end. He appeared in the TV movies The Gun, Hanging By A Thread and Hot Rod. He hit his peak when he was selected to portray Elvis as a boy in the 1978 TV movie Elvis. He then appeared in a co starring role on the TV show Hart To Hart playing Jonathan Hart, Jr. He retired from acting at age 16 to concentrate on singing.
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.
