Darryl Lane

During the late 80's I began performing in a school play 'Emperor's new clothes where I also played the role of 'Narrator". This gave me a passion to pursue my dreams of being an actor, it also provided me with fond memories and experiences which to date has not been replaced by any other career path I have followed. My passion is being an actor, where in 2007 I made the decision to become a member of the London based casting suite. Who have over time provided me with some very exciting roles supporting artists on some major productions. Looking back at my portfolio it shows my passion for acting which started taking shape and slowly being fulfilled. This has given me the incentive and drive to further invest my time and talent into acting. Since my initial experiences where I gained the confidence to act in both short and feature films working with students of Northampton University, I have since matured as an actor, where I have been involved in an array of different productions just to name a few, Nike, Renault and McDonalds TV commercials, through to feature movies such as In Your Dreams, Dangerous Parking, James Bond 007 Spectre, Wonder Woman, Indiana Jones The Dial of Destiny, Firebrand and BBC CBeebies and Thousand Blows TV series. I have also recently played a more inviting role which led me to performing on set with a lead character in a new 'up and coming' thriller series. This has further reinforced my passion to continue working in this field and commit all my time pursuing and evolving my career as an actor.

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.
