AD Warfaa, born in the vibrant city of Mombasa, Kenya, is a multifaceted talent who wants to leave his mark in the world of entertainment. As an actor, AD's credits include notable appearances on popular television shows such as "Barry" and "Supermarket Stakeout." Beyond the realm of acting, AD is a musician with a remarkable story of success. One of his songs took the internet by storm, amassing over 2 million views on YouTube and more than 10 million streams on various music platforms. This remarkable achievement led to a remix collaboration with the renowned E-40 and a coveted signing with Columbia Records. AD Warfaa is not just a creative force; he's also a force to be reckoned with in the sports arena. An amateur boxer and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, his physical prowess matches his artistic talents. A true polyglot, AD boasts fluency in five different languages, demonstrating his commitment to diverse and global experiences. His wanderlust spirit has taken him to over 100 countries, cementing his status as a true nomad and avid traveler. Humble beginnings shaped AD's journey. His parents immigrated to the United States from East Africa to escape the turmoil of war. His mother, a dedicated stay-at-home mom, raised AD and his four siblings, while his father took on various jobs, including working for the United Nations, truck driving, and cab driving, to provide for his family. AD's artistic journey began at the age of 14 when he participated in a Broadway acting competition for his Turkish school. Traveling across the United States to perform, AD's talent captivated audiences wherever he went, igniting his passion for the performing arts. His acting career took flight with a debut on Bill Hader's hit show, "Barry," and now, he's set to make waves in the upcoming movie "Modern Folklore," which begins shooting in January. AD Warfaa's inspiring story is a testament to his unwavering dedication, talent, and the pursuit of his dreams, from humble beginnings in East Africa to the global stage of entertainment.
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.
