Paul Walenkamp

Biography from TheMovieDB

Paul is an award-winning Perth based actor of Northman heritage. Lead roles in the micro-budget feature film "Respire" (set in dystopian Western Australia; a father and daughter fight to survive "Mad Max" style), Jack Alwyn's "Letters" (set in 1915, a widowed lonely farmer, whose son is fighting at Gallipoli, battles to remain sane), and the troubled writer "Paul" in Jeremey Mullaly's "Dear Andy" (a writer struggles with inspiration and finds it through an unlikely person) are expressions of dedication, hard work and a steady career progression. Early 2023 brings another lead role for Paul in a micro-budget feature film in a soon to be announced production.  A principle cast member, playing Lieutenant Longhorn, in the feature film Before Dawn (2021) confirms Paul's potential as a feature film actor. This is further confirmed by Paul being asked to audition for the lead role of "George White" in the US "block buster" feature film "Steal Away". Supporting roles to come in 2022 include "Dash" the vampire in "Bleederville", and the "Producer" in Brad Newlands "Radio Man". His career progression includes leading roles in the dystopian thriller "Sandman", the Captain in the Star Trek Fan Film "Line of Duty" (a performance for which he won Best Supporting Actor at the 2021 Treklanta fan-based convention), the playful "Sugar Babies" and the satirical "Flu Shot". These roles display Pauls' versatility and niche. His instincts and athleticism enable him to play comedic, dramatic and action roles. For TV Paul has worked on "The Heights" and created through collaboration a TVC for Parker & Co, Perths leading mens wear retailer. Paul has also worked with Roger Federer in promoting the cause "Match for Africa".  His skills have been refined through working with Emma Jackson, Miranda Harcourt, Steve Bisley, Eden Falk, Nadia Townsend, Emma Booth, Marcus Graham, Annie Murtagh-Monks, Ali Roberts, Lisa London, Siobhan Dow-Hall and Loren Johnson. Further to support his acting Paul has completed the Diploma of Film at SAE Institute.  Paul speaks Dutch fluently, is well-travelled, has a cheeky sense of humour, is refined and loves acting and elite level exercise.

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.
