An Iraqi actor who is considered one of the most important pillars of theatrical and dramatic art in Iraq. He graduated from the cultural Institute in 1965. He presented to the Iraqi cultural scene a lot of creativity in various artistic fields. He became a shining name in the sky of Iraqi culture even after he chose exile as a place for him. He presented theatrical and dramatic works that are still firmly rooted in memory. He died in Jordan in 1998. He worked in: Your Wound Melts, Stray Wishes and Clash of Loyalties.
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:

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.
