A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Alias:
Shane Thompson Daly
Birthplace:
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Born:
April 19, 1966
Shane was born and raised in Brampton, Canada and graduated from Bramalea Secondary School. He briefly attended Sheridan college under the business program but quickly found that was not a career path he would enjoy. He started late in the acting field after a car accident in 1989. After visiting an actor friend on set, he was bitten by the acting bug. He has trained with many coaches over the years including Harold Guskin who was the private coach of the late James Gandolfini. During one of his acting classes, his first acting coach said he would do what he could to help Shane begin his career. He arranged for Shane to meet his agent who quickly signed him to the roster. His first appearance in front of the camera was on various commercials before landing a spot on the popular CBC series Street Legal. The last decade has been a whirlwind with appearances on such shows as Flashpoint, The Firm, Blue Mountain State, Transporter, and many other popular t.v. shows. Movie roles have included Exit Wounds, Kick Ass 2, and Detroit Rock City He can also be seen opposite Susan Sarandon in The Calling, Jamie Foxx in the movie Redemption, and the with popular Canadian Bruce Greenwood in Firehouse Dog. Aside from acting, Shane is an accomplished guitar player and during breaks in his busy career, he is a competent Futures trader following in the footsteps of James Brolin who traded Stocks between gigs. - IMDb Mini Enjoyed the book "Stop Acting" by acting coach Harold Guskin so much, Shane tracked Harold down through his publisher in order to work through the book personally. Shane met up with Harold in the summer of 2006 in NYC.

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.
