Laurence Stephen Kynaston (born 24 February 1994) is a Welsh actor. Although born in Shrewsbury in England he grew up in Weston Rhyn on the England/Wales border. The family all had talents in music. The family later moved to Llanfyllin in Powys. Here he developed his talent for acting and at eighteen he was cast in "The Winslow Boy" at Theatr Clwyd. He later moved to London when he was nineteen to pursue his acting career. He won an Evening Standard Theatre Award for his performance in The Son, as well as receiving a WhatsOnStage Award nomination. On television, he starred in the BBC Two sitcom "Cradle to Grave" (2015). His films include "England Is Mine" (2017) and "How to Build a Girl" (2019). He was named a 2018 Screen International Star of Tomorrow. He made his West End debut in "The Ferryman" when it transferred to the Gielgud Theatre. He starred in the Spring Awakening revival at the Almeida Theatre.
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.
