A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Bronsonn "Booda" Taylor is an Actor, Stuntman, Musician and Bodybuilder. Bronsonn is a method actor and has been lauded for his authenticity. He is originally from Louisiana but was raised primarily in Texas. Bronsonn is known by his family and close associates as Booda Bear (Boo the Bear), earning this moniker due to his tough exterior but gentle heart. Since beginning his acting career in the fall of 2019, Bronsonn has appeared in more than 50 television, film, theater, and commercial projects. As a U.S. military Veteran, he served six combat tours of duty. Bronsonn is a certified expert on small arms; automatic weapons; weapons safety; close quarters combat (hand-to-hand); stage combat; military tactics and procedures and drama training. Bronsonn attended stunt and fight training to hone the skills he learned from the military and apply them to acting. While stationed in Japan, Bronsonn began his music career as an underground hip hop artist under the stage name Shadeaux and L'il Sleepy. While performing in a nightclub in Yokohama Bay, his performance garnered the attention of a concert promoter who signed him to be the opening performer for all the major recording artists touring Japan, most notably Outkast, DMX, Soul 4 Real, and Public Announcement. This earned him a recording contract with PnP Records, Soundboy Entertainment, and Ghetto Soundtracks based in Los Angeles, CA. Unfortunately, Bronsonn's music career was cut short due to the devastation of September 11, 2001. Bronsonn was also a competitive heavy weight bodybuilder for the National Physique Committee (NPC) bodybuilding competition under the name "Beast Bronsonn." As a bodybuilder Bronsonn earned endorsements from seven sports nutrition and apparel companies, receiving a pre-workout supplement aptly named "Beast Blu" in his honor by UXO supplements Bronsonn's philosophy is "If you do not fully embrace the character you are portraying to the point that your own family and close friends cannot tell you apart from your role then you are not fully committed which will supremely effect the delivery, subsequently causing you to fail."
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.
