Biography from TheMovieDB

Simon Anthony Abou-Fadel's French/Lebanese father, Edward, and French/Egyptian mother, Françoise, settled in North Hollywood in 1969 As a kid there Simon poignantly remembers the nights he and his older brother would wait up to watch the family's garage door for the first flickering reflections from the screen of the nearby drive-in movie. From those nights, he marks his fascination with movie screens, with the actors who inhabit them, and with the industry that was then only a few streets away. Simon plays William Douchet in Chuck Russell's Witchboard and Jack Dalton in Jamie Foxx and John Eisendrath's Alert: Missing Persons Unit. He has landed roles on notable network shows such as Veronica Mars, 24, and Law and Order Los Angeles. Notable roles also include Adrian Holmes' lawyer in the English version of 19-2, Ed Greenstein in the reboot of iconic Canadian television show Street Legal, and working opposite Mia Kirshner in The Detectives, David James Elliot in Real Detectives and with Trish Helfner in Ascension. Among others, he can be seen in Quantico, The Art of More, The Bold Type, The Republic of Sarah and Transplant with John Hannah and Hamza Haq. Simon Anthony Abou-Fadel is also the narrator for the new IMAX film entitled Train Time.  Simon was a company member at The Actors Gang Theatre in Los Angeles, California, with Artistic Director and film actor Tim Robbins. During his seven years with the Gang, he toured nationally in Embedded, an original play by Robbins, and appeared in a critically acclaimed production of Tartuffe directed by Jon Kellam in which he was reviewed by the Hollywood Reporter that touted his "strong support". Backstage also affectionately praised him and scene partner Lindsley Allen for their scenes, and the Los Angeles Times claimed Allen and he "attained absolute lunacy". While at The Gang, Simon accepted an invitation from the Walt Disney Concert Hall to act in a two-person play with the L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra providing live background music.

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.
