A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Dean Michaels is an American actor and musician born in Richmond, Va. Taking on roles such as singer, guitarist, bassist, and drummer in various musical outfits over the years, Dean began his entertainment journey as an aspiring professional musician before life took over. While still touring and taking the musical stage, Dean discovered his love for voiceover, eventually landing a continuous role voicing characters in the children's animated series, Star-Spangled Adventures (3D Bob Productions). His skills as a musician have earned him a sponsorship with ESP Guitars. Dean studied Criminal Justice, Communications, and Law in the Washington, DC-area. He is also an audio engineer and has a proficiency with firearms, lending his expertise on set. Dean has worked on such TV and film projects as "Dopesick" (HULU), "We Own This City" (HBO), and "Rustin" (Netflix) among others. Dean resides in the Washington D.C. area and can be seen in the 2025 JCL Productions movie, Fair Rain.
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.
