A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Jon started in voiceover in high school and has had several successful careers since then. He has worked as a Session Singer, CCM Artist (Gaither Vocal Band), Carrol lee Singers on the Grand 'Ole Opry, a prolific Songwriter in Nashville, and even lived overseas in Ukraine for 9 years working with hospitals and orphanages along with his wife Luanne, and their 6 kids. In the last 15 years Jon has voiced literally thousands of Voice Overs, including the new CSB version of the Bible from Lifeway Publishing. He also narrated a Discovery Channel documentary: Secrets of the Lost Ark. Jon is currently working from his home studio in Nashville, Tenn. Jon is grateful for his years working as a Voice Actor in LA: "It has allowed me to study and grow my craft among some of the giants in the business! I've had the chance to study with some amazing teachers and coaches. And I count it a privilege to call some of the most amazing Voice Actors on the planet friends." He considers his move to LA as pivotal in his success as a voice actor.
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.
