Tommy Tallarino

Tommy Tallarino was raised in Rome NY, a mill town way way upstate, and he brings the same blue collar mentality to his entertainment career. Tommy began his journey in Hollywood as Mr. Danny DeVito's personal assistant, learning the entertainment business from the ground floor under the tutelage of one of the all-time nice guys. Tommy Tallarino took on every job possible, eventually becoming the headline comedian for the touring show Mob Men Live. Also a resident headliner for Sapphire Comedy Hour in Las Vegas, Tommy T has performed in 38 states in the USA, while also entertaining the troops whenever he's called. After debuting his show "Tommy Tallarino Night" at the Plaza Hotel/Casino in Downtown Las Vegas, the clean but edgy comic has moved his act to the big showroom at Sapphire. An accomplished writer and well-trained actor, Tommy's television credits cover the entertainment map. Tommy's acting credits include an appearance in the Showtime drama Ray Donovan, a run on the soap classic General Hospital, and a role in the HBO series Luck, starring Dustin Hoffman. Tommy's writing credits include the critically-acclaimed animated show The Boondocks on Adult Swim and the Kevin Hart sitcom Big House on ABC. The Italian-New Yorker kicked off his career by doing everything on his first show: creating, producing and starring in The SportJerks NBA Tour on Comedy Central. The reality-based, sports show was co-produced with Danny DeVito and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver for NBA Entertainment. Tommy's take on Hollywood from a two-decade run: "It's a blue collar business disguised by dizzying, bright lights."

The Search Form


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.
