A former professional basketball player and radio host, James Shipp Jr. played for ASU and UCLA before competing overseas in the European Basketball League. After suffering an injury that put an end to his NBA dream, James refocused his energy into acting, while simultaneously producing and hosting the ESPN show and podcast BallerzWorld Live. He has also been the Creative Director of the Emmy Award winning production company Legion of Creatives. His energy, talent, intelligence and dedication are just some of the multiple valuable assets he brings to every project he undertakes. James is an incredibly charismatic actor who is following in his sister's -Alexandra Shipp- footsteps (X-MEN: Apocalypse lead, Straight Outta Compton). His current resume includes Dorion Renaud's love interest on In The Cut, and award winning film Asia A.
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.
