Biography from TheMovieDB

Connor William Jessup, born in Toronto, Canada, is a versatile actor and filmmaker. He began his acting career at the age of eleven, gaining recognition for his roles as Ben Mason in the sci-fi series 'Falling Skies' (2011) and Taylor Blaine in the drama 'American Crime' (2015). Jessup is also widely known for his leading role as Tyler Locke in the Netflix fantasy series 'Locke & Key' (2020-2022), where he starred in all three seasons.  His directing career began in 2014 with the short film 'Little Coffins', which is now considered a lost media. He went on to direct several other shorts, including 'Boy' (2015), 'Lira's Forest' (2017), 'The Constant' (2018), and the documentary 'A.W. A Portrait of Apichatpong Weerasethakul' (2018). In 2019, Jessup contributed to the '30/30 Vision: Three Decades of Strand Releasing' project, directing one of 30 short films. He also directed 'Night Flight' (2020), an adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s story, and most recently, the sleepwalking drama 'Julian and the Wind' (2024).  In addition to his work in film and television, Jessup is an advocate for queer causes and publicly came out as gay in June 2019 during Pride Month.

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.
