After retiring from the NYPD, Howard pursued a second career in acting, using the screen name Ron Voz. He played the corpse in three different productions of "Lucky Stiff." He filmed with Richard Gere in "The Hoax," playing the role of Norman Mailer, and with Robin Williams and John Travolta in the film "Old Dogs." He played the role of the chauffeur in the Julia Roberts & Clive Owens film, "Duplicity." Following a principle role in the Disney film "Enchanted," he joined the Screen Actors Guild. He recently filmed the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers teaser trailer, produced by his grandson Louis Maldarelli. He plays the butler in "Can a Song Save Your Life" (forthcoming, with Keira Knightley). He especially enjoyed volunteering in student-directed films at New York University, the School of Visual Arts, and the New York Film Academy. - IMDb Mini Biography
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.
