A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Kent started his career as an actor. It wasn't long before he booked a number of roles while living in Vancouver. Most notable include his role as "Jack" in the indie feature film John Apple Jack. The film went on to grace the screens of numerous film festivals all over the world. It was however at the California Independent Film Festival (CAIFF) where Kent was nominated alongside Oscar winner, Richard Dreyfus, for a best-actor award in a lead role for his portrayal of Jack. Another notable role of his is "Russell" in the Canadian TV show The Switch. The show was a first of its kind; the first television sitcom where transgender actors portrayed transgender characters. In 2017 Kent played "Benjamin" on the Chinese television show The Way We Were, which starred Tiffany Tang and Jin Luo. He played opposite Hong Kong star Lily Ho. The show was directed by renowned Chinese television director Jiang Liu.
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.
