A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Blas García is a veteran Mexican announcer and dubbing actor, born on May 26, 1942, in Tula, Hidalgo. He began his career in dubbing in 1966, with a small role in the series I am a spy. In 1977 he worked on dubbing the animated film My Friend the Dragon and by the end of that decade and the beginning of the next, he lent his voice to Japanese animated series, the first being Merman of the Sea and Captain Twinkle. He is recognized for being the official voice of Optimus Prime in Transformers, Igor in the Winnie The Poo series, Agent K, in the Men in Black trilogy, Saruman in the Lord of the Rings saga, among many other works.
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.
