Dorly Jean-Louis is a Canadian Actress who continues to make a name for herself in film and television with no signs of slowing down. A versatile performer with an appeal that exudes confidence, elegance and poise, she is credited for appearing in several award-winning television series including The Umbrella Academy, 12 Monkeys and Salvation. Dorly's love for acting began as a child fascinated by the artistry and glamour of silver screen classic movies. That interest turned into passion while debuting in independent short films, music videos as well as volunteering as reporter and host for campus television and radio stations. Dorly has definitely come a long way since interning at CTV News as an editorial assistant. No doubt her competitive edge is due in part to her professional training in broadcast journalism. After graduating from college, Dorly launched her acting and modelling career with a leap of faith, a dream and belief in her aptitudes. That conviction paid off. She has since been cast in numerous journalistic roles; as inquisitive reporter Talisha in the Hallmark film Daniel’s Daughter; as a news anchor in the television series Missing; and as a tabloid news reporter in the romantic film A very Country Christmas Homecoming. In her spare time Dorly enjoys recreational dance, writing, reading, attending industry events and travelling. A disciplined artist and entertainer, she's excited to take on new roles on upcoming projects slated throughout the New Year.
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.
