Biography from TheMovieDB

Donald Edmond "Donnie" Wahlberg, Jr. (born August 17, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter, actor, film producer, and record producer. One of his siblings is actor Mark Wahlberg and he is married to comedian/actress Jenny McCarthy.  He is a founding member of the popular 1980s and 1990s boy band New Kids on the Block.  He's most known for his TV role as Det. Danny Reagan on Blue Bloods, for which he was nominated for a People's Choice Award for Favorite TV Crime Drama Actor in 2017. He's also known for his roles as Donnie on the sitcom Return of the Mac, Det. Horst Cali on The Kill Point, Paul Rader on Runaway, Det. Joel Stevens on Boomtown, Lt. C. Carwood Lipton on the award-winning miniseries Band of Brothers, and Chris Scott on Big Apple.  Graham Yost, executive producer and writer of Boomtown, had worked with him in Band of Brothers and was so impressed by his performance that he wrote the role of Joel Stevens specifically for him.  He's taken part in the reality shows Donnie Loves Jenny, Wahlburgers, Rock This Boat: New Kids on the Block, and The Masked Singer. He is narrator of HLN's true crime show Very Scary People. He is executive producer and narrator of the reality series Boston's Finest, in part produced by his company Donnie D. Productions.  He's known for his film roles as Det. Eric Matthews in the Saw film series (starting in Saw II), Shane in Zookeeper, Det. Teddy Riley in Righteous Kill, Commander Burton in Annapolis, Douglas 'Duddits' Cavell in Dreamcatcher, and Vincent Grey in The Sixth Sense. He's also had roles in TV movies including The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1998 TV movie), as well as Kings of South Beach, and Bunker Hill.  As of 2011, he is the host of an internet radio show on Friday nights at 8 pm PST called "DDUB's R&B Back Rub" on Cherry Tree Radio.

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.
