Biography from TheMovieDB

Tryfon Karatzas (Athens, 5 October 1935 – 17 January 2019) was a Greek television, theater and film actor with a 60-year acting career. In elementary school he was a classmate of Alekos Fasianos. He studied at Panteion University and then with a scholarship at the Drama School of the Athens Conservatory where he had Dimitris Rodiris as a teacher. During his military service he served as an announcer at the Armed Forces Radio Station (1958). After the army, he continued for a number of years to work as a radio announcer, alongside his theatrical activity. From the age of 11 he was a cantor. He started his career in 1957, at the age of 22. Two years later, in 1959, he made his first appearance in the cinema with the film Love Stories, alongside Aliki Vougiouklakis, where he had a small role. He participated among others in the films: The Merchant (1967), The Lamp Against the Outlaws (1967), Those Who Know Love (1968), Hurt Youth (1969), Shadows in the Sand (1970), Violence and Charm (1989), Gigolo (1993) and Crying Out of Heaven (2001).

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
