In his earlier years Terence (Terry) Michos enjoyed a successful Broadway, film, and television acting career that included lead roles in "Grease" both on Broadway and the national touring company, Paramount Pictures' "The Warriors", a CBS Movie of the Week, "The Great Skycopter Rescue," the Universal Pictures/CBS miniseries "The Contender", and various guest starring roles in television series such as "McClain's Law," "Simon and Simon," and "Romeo and Juliet" for Public Television. After working as an actor Terence made his mark in the field of communications where he served as Communications Director for US Congresswoman Nan Hayworth's Washington DC and district operations. Before his position with Congresswoman Hayworth, Terence served for sixteen years as Nnews director and news anchor for NewsCenter 6 and Cablevision News of the Hudson Valley. During that time he helped lead those news operations to a New England Cable Television Award (NECTA), nine Cable Ace nominations, the first ever Associated Press nomination for best local news in New York State, and anchored a public affairs political show that was seen throughout seven counties in Hudson Valley, much of Connecticut, the Bronx, and Brooklyn and was shown on a variety of cable outlets including C-Span and C-Span 2. Terence and his wife Carmen live in Poughkeepsie, New York, and are the parents of four grown children.
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.
