David Arnott made his acting debut with a central role in CrissCross. David was discovered in an extensive casting search, the 12 year old San Diego native won the part over 3,000 other young hopefuls. On the set, Arnott impressed his older, more experienced colleagues with his desire to learn more about his new craft. After Released in 1992, Arnott played the main character in the Chris Menges film CrissCross and did not take part in any other project. Arnott, who is still praised for his performance in this film, in which he portrayed the rebellious son of a divorced mother, became one of the most successful child actors of his time, if not the best known. For this film, he was selected among 3000 child actors in the audition held in Miami. IMDB Mini Bio By; yusufpiskin
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.
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.
