Charles Fricks de Andrade (16 June 1972) is a Brazilian actor. Of remote German descent, Fricks began his career in amateur theatre groups in his hometown. After living in the United States for a year, he returned to Brazil and settled in Rio de Janeiro, where he continued his studies in free courses at theatre schools. In 1993, he joined the Companhia Atores de Laura, then directed by Daniel Herz and Susanna Kruger, he worked in more than ten shows and won a Shell Award nomination for his performance in As Artimanhas de Scapino. On TV, among other things, he worked on three micro-series directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho: Hoje é dia de Maria - primeiro e segunda jornada; and Capitu. He has made 9 feature films. These include Nise, Almost Memory, Without Control, Chico Xavier - the film and Elite Squad 2.
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.
