Djilali Rez-Kallah

Birthplace:
France

Djilali Rez-Kallah is one of those rare actors working today who moves easily between comedy, drama, or crime. He's played everything from mob boss, to homeless person, to doctor, and everything in between; his off-beat humor and warmth always hinting at the surprises underneath.  Known for playing the lionhearted, tenacious, no-nonsense tough guy, Djilali is often the go-to mobster boss.  Djilali grew up in France where he became an actor and dreamed of the possibility of studying and performing his craft in the USA. After receiving his green card in 2009 his dream has become a reality.  He appeared in independent, student and Studio productions, including short films, televisions, features, web series, commercials and live theater.  Djilali studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute and improve at The Groundlings. He's performed stand-up at the Comedy Store and is enrolled at The Ruskin School of Acting.  Djilali knows how important it is to find honesty in everything he does, which leads to authenticity in his performances.

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.
